Moreover, the high numbers of brutal murders have appalled even law-enforcementofficials, who used to be quite tolerant of Nazi views, using ultrarightist extremists to help themfight “enemies of the regime”: leftist activists, dissidents and other members of the“nonestablishment opposition.” . . . But nobody wants to condone serial killers.The president’s tough stance on the issue, which he has repeatedly made known in publicand at meetings with intelligence services, has made it much more difficult for the Nazis topromote their ideas. Judges have started handing down harsh verdicts in extremist cases. Policeare arresting Nazi activists in droves. Prosecutors are issuing one warrant after another banningodious organizations. . . .After turning a blind eye to Russian fascism for such a long time, the government hasfinally come to its senses. But it should have done so much earlier. Its opponents are no longerthugs armed with shivs; they are deep-cover militant groups that have real weapons and money.They are well trained, educated and indoctrinated. They are so strong that they have confidentlytaken on the government. . . .The Nazis who claimed responsibility for the murder of antifascist Ivan Khutorskoireleased a statement threatening “antifascist bullies, insolent migrants, Russophobic journalistsand castigators in uniforms and black robes.”Nazis have no respect for people in uniform. They have repeatedly put up vehementarmed resistance to arrest. They have been waging a revenge campaign against police: for a yearnow, torching police stations and vehicles. Nazi Web pages urge readers to “kill cops,” and offeradvice on the best way to do so. . . .Basically, this is a second front in the war on terror. And it’s not clear who is going tofight against it, as everyone is stuck in the North Caucasus.They will get stuck here as well if they use the same method. There is a great temptationto counter terror with terror, as they did in the Caucasus. Avenge yourself on everybody to thethird generation, arrest people indiscriminately, beat confessions out of them, eliminate themwithout a trial, terrorize human rights activists and journalists lest they interfere with your effortsto “restore order.”*** All this will lead to a predictable reaction, the same way it happened in theCaucasus: More and more young people will rally around the radical idea of fighting a “policestate.” They will do so not because they like ultrarightist ideas, but because they will be seizedby the desire for vengeance.Actually, it is no accident that the first victims of the Nazis’ public executions were alawyer, a journalist and a judge. They pose a bigger threat to Nazis, because the only way we candefeat rightist terrorism is by combating it publicly, based on law and the supremacy of humanrights.* * *(Commentary) – Aleksandr Brod, member of the Public Chamber. This is not the first attackon a judge. We have had between three and seven such cases each year since 1996; fortunately,they have rarely resulted in murder. The targets were district and municipal judges or chairmenof regional courts. The underworld is constantly reminding us of its existence and demonstratingthat it is more powerful than the government. . . .I don’t rule out that the murder of Chuvashov was an act of vengeance and terror. It ispossible that they hired a hitman. We know from experience that extremists do have money. Onedetained Nazi had 200 million rubles in his bank account. They receive support; politicians flirtwith them and try to manipulate them. And the extremists, for their part, use such ostentatiousmurders to make their presence known and claim their share of authority. One longtime5
