I've Been Thinking:

Yesterday a court in Russia sentenced 12 Neo-Nazi skin heads to prison. They will receive from 10 years to life.

These Neo-Nazis were found guilty in the brutal murder of 27 people.

All the crimes were hate crimes - beatings, stabbings, decapitations. They even filmed their own crimes, like the decapitation of a man they suspected of being a police informant.

Neo-Nazism is on the rise in Russia. Figures suggest that half of the Neo-Nazis in all the world are in Russia. Some put the numbers in Russia at 70,000.

Numbers do not do the Neo-Nazi movement justice. Video depicts the movement and its popularity much more accurately. Some of this groups videotaped murders and beatings were the most viewed videos on the internet in Russia.

Their message is Neo-Fascist and is exactly modeled on Hitler's.

They preach that foreigners - Jews, Muslims and immigrants from the Caucuses, destroy the true essence of Russia. They preach that there is one simple division white and black. Whites are Russians and blacks are everyone else. Their acts of violence are so heinous that foreign students at university are not permitted outside on certain days - like Hitler's birthday.

This is the very scary reality of a new evolving democracy.
