(July 1, 2008)

Police in Volgograd, Russia detained an 18-year-old neo-Nazi after a three month long manhunt, according to a June 24, 2008 article in the local paper Gorodskie Vesti. The young man was allegedly the leader of a five person neo-Nazi gang who organized an attack on an anti-fascist activist in the town of Volzhsky. After observing their intended victim, the neo-Nazi leader allegedly lured him to an isolated spot and hit him in the head with a hammer. The young man survived, luckily, and his mother pressed charges, upon which the suspect fled and was placed on the wanted list. He now faces assault charges, but no extremism charges have yet been filed against him.
