These groups see that all Western countries are doing their utmost to flood their countries with non-whites while Russian isn't, hence they think Russians are racists and that Russia is the "last hope." Problem is they don't know any Russians, don't speak Russian and have never been there. The occasional high profile racially motivated attack confirms their views. But they aren't aware of nationalist/racists (whatever label) being put away, sometimes for life depending on the crime(s), as the
Western press wouldn't touch those stories with a 10 foot pole.
