This group was Russian, but had fascist viewpoints, with a slogan: “Russia for Russians and compatriots.” They were for the were for the expulsion of non-Russian immigrant and Jews. They also did a lot of work to rebuild the orthodox church.
They were a very well-organized group with a ranking system, based on the level of activities and time in the group, of the recruit or leader of the RNU. By 1993 they were a very well establish national group, with different branches all over the country.
