Young Front lists “black hundred” of “Russian world’s” lobbyists

At their website the Young Front organisation has collected information about “one hundred of hotbeds of the Kremlin’s aggression” in Belarus.

“While in Ukraine after Maidan the Russian aggression has moved into the open military stage, in Belarus the occupation is still continued through activities of countless both officially registered and illegal pro-Russian organisations,” Young Front members write.

As noted by the activist, 100 years ago groups of Russian nationalists and monarchists, who resorted to crackdown on non-Russians and people of different faiths through pogroms and violence, were called “the Black Hundreds.”

A co-chairman of the Young Front Zmitser Dashkevich said to Radio Svaboda that the organisations on the “black list” are preparing “a surrender of Belarus to Russia.”

- This list has been made with the use of open sources, the information which is spread on the web by these black hundred organisations, and the information which had appeared in many articles of independent mass media. As for the completeness of this list, it is possible that it is just the top of the iceberg, its visible part. It is clear that there are more organisations who are preparing the Russian occupation of Belarus. They are distributed across Belarus evenly, there is no real difference in the regions; one can say that the entire Belarus is the Crimean peninsula. And we call upon all concerned citizens to pay attention to such organisations, to reveal information about them. On our part we are going to take a package of measures, to address state agencies with a demand to stop activities of such organisations and institutions, which violate the Constitution of Belarus and state that Belarus is not an independent state, but a satellite of Russia.

The list names such organisations as Rus Molodaya (the Young Rus, Rumol), the All-Russian organisation “Military Brotherhood”, the Military and patriotic club “Cossacks’ Savior” (Kazachiy Spas), the Eurasian Civil union, the Russian cultural and educational society, the Orthodox Cossack military and patriotic club from Orsha, the groups of the National Bolshevik Party (NBP) and the Russian National Unity (RNE) and many others.
