Over the past five years, there has been a significant changeover among radical far-right extremists: the veterans are long gone, either dead or too old. New ideologists are emerging all over Europe, North America and Russia. They do not necessarily shave their heads; they have created corporations, distribution companies, music clubs, magazines, publishing houses, internet sites and they have replaced the old symbols with new ones. In this era of new technologies, the United States and Sweden have been deeply shocked to discover their youth inciting racist violence, which has since contaminated the whole of the Western world as well as Russia and its neighbouring countries. In this context, neo-nazi ideology seems to have gained new territory and found fertile ground for their propaganda. For its younger representatives, the past is virtual history where the real cannot be distinguished from the fake; their version of the future looks bleak and threatening. is the last part of a trilogy on skinheads, hate and racism.
