The Russian Community (Russian: Русская община, romanized: Russkaya obshchina; RO) is a Russian far-right nationalist political paramilitary organization founded in late 2020. It has been described as anti-Islamic, anti-immigrant, anti-Caucasian, and pro-government. The Russian Community is known for its fight against immigrant workers in Russia. Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, is considered an unofficial patron of the organization. The organization has seen its heyday since 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. But even despite their pro-government orientation, activists of the Russian Community are often sentenced for criminal cases related to inciting ethnic hatred and hooliganism. Despite its stated opposition to migrant workers only, the organization is also opposed to the indigenous Muslim peoples of Russia, in particular those from the North Caucasus. Other nationalist organizations cooperate with the Russian Community, including the Orthodox fundamentalist Sorok Sorokov Movement and the far-right Northern Man movement, founded by nationalist rapper Misha Mavashi.
