You are absolutely correct, far-right opinions increase in times of economic hardship, there are examples of this happening in various places sine the birth of the Nazis in Germany.
It increased in the 70's and 80's in the UK, and is coming back again, it's been on the rise in Germany over the last five years, we're seeing it taking a stronger hold in the former USSR now.
Whenever there is hardship in a society, people look to vent using religion, class, race and sexuality, attacking each other rather than face the real problems. The problems are blamed on a recognizable minority group within the society, and often one that the powerful want to be rid of too.
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and although our own countries are nowhere near that level of violence, we are not immune to it either.

As vile as we might find this - it is after all their country and culture.

"They have no right...." according to who - you? Have you even been to Russia or any of the other former Soviet republics? Have you personally spoken to the people in the region?
My point is that if you are not there and only gleaning your information from a website that covers the story from the liberal angle, you might not have the complete picture.
I can tell you that religion is a huge part of their culture now, something they did not have before. If they choose to ignore this behavior, it is because the majority agree that this is something they do not want in their society. The Christian Orthodox Religion (prevalent in the former USSR republics) is an enormous part of their society now.
And again, who are we to tell them how they should behave and how they should treat people?

These "children" are answering adds. This is on them - not the Russian society as a whole.
This is a small group doing what they feel is right according to the culture they are living in.
Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their prejudices, treats other people with hatred, contempt, or intolerance on the basis of a person's ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics.

Both you and the poster above me are not understanding what i actually said so I will simplify it for you, The symptoms you are seeing are the result of what I spoke about. The youth are latching on a hate group due to the situation happening around the world in what used to be majority white countries. Most know what neo-Nazi's believe in if you look at what the Nazi of the past believed.
Russian neo-Nazis are characterized by racism, antisemitism, homophobia, Islamophobia and extreme xenophobia towards people from Asia.[66] Their ideology centers on defending Russian national identity against what they perceive as a takeover by minority groups such as Jews,homosexuals, Central Asians, Roma people and Muslims.
Maybe next time you both should actually read up on what neo-nazi in that region believe before commenting and blaming religion or knocking down others comments because you dont like the tone of what they are saying.
Here is a question for everyone here at what point has it become ok to bash white people, Blame them for all of societies problems, alienate them, take away their voice in matters of race, Politically silence them, Say they have no home no country?
Here in america almost all of the above is true, in Europe they are forced to take in large amounts of Muslims, They call it multiculturalism when there is nothing multicultural about it. Politician seize the moment ignore the population and flood the country with people who abuse and hate white people, these immigrants then force onto the public rules and regulations that are unnecessary and only favor the new immigrants.
and I took out Caucasians from their hate list which doesn't make any damn sense considering the name litterally came from their own country and desribes their race of people en.wikipedia.org...

Would like to hear why you believe so.
Ive seen them first hand actually.
If you open a History book, you can see HATE as being a motivator for MANY crimes and atrocities done by man on their fellow man. People do Hate. People do commit crimes because of it. Its on the books in MANY countries.
Normally i would never tell anyone to watch south park to explain anything but it does a very good job of explaining hate crime logic
heres a link www.southparkstudios.com...

White people are beginning to be alienated ignored and all together treated as second class citizens in their own countries
the propaganda, the white guilt, the forced servitude to other foreigners who hate white people and hate the country they live in.
Who are the young white youth going to turn too when they are told it's all their fault for the problems of today, That they are privileged to be white when the reality is glaringly incorrect in this day and age?

Whites are immigrants in the US though. It's not their country.
And white households' median income is TWENTY TIMES that of black households in America. Whites live on average 10-12 years longer. They are far more likely to go to college and have higher paid jobs,and they are much less likely to be victims of crimes.
SoI don't really see how white people are anywhere even near second on the pile in the US.

I'm just wondering about the basis thought ... Being white is a skin color from where you're born on the equator. It is not a nationality, ideology, philosophy, political movement, or anything of the sort. I don't see how you can hold white people responsible for all ills, or anything productive that can be said about it. Repeat this phrase with the word 'black people' in it.

I'm not really getting what you mean. I didn't post the facts above to posit blame, merely to refute the notion that white people are being marginalised, or are poised to become some kind of second-class citizens.
