The phenomenon of modern Russian nationalism is multifaceted. Beginning by moderate nationalism and Slavic enthusiasm to the roots and the culture and finishing by radical nationalists
with far-right direction including Nazi ideology.

Few strong trends are forming among Russian nationalists. For example, following and propagandizing the healthy style of living and training in self-defense. Also Russian nationalism is associated with religion, namely, with two streams - the Orthodox and reviving Paganism. Ideas of nationalism penetrate into the music: in Russia is strong the scene of right rap and the performers of hardcore. Many of the nationalists are presented by unions and parties, some of them are registered, some are not, some of them forbidden by the law. Politicized associations regularly hold manifestation and demonstrations. The main event is Russian March of the nationalists which is passing in dozens of cities.
