Konstantin Kasimovsky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konstantin Kasimovsky is a leading Russian neo-Nazi. Formerly a leading member of Pamyat, he has since gone on to lead two parties of his own, the Russian National Union and the Russian National Socialist Party as well as a less well-defined group known as Russian Action. It is claimed that he split from Pamyat and became convinced of Nazism after a 1992 visit to Transnistria [1].

He initially shared leadership of the RNU with Aleksei Vdovin but took sole charge in 1997 when Vdovin was expelled (before going on to join Russian National Unity). He has also been a close associate of Alexander Prokhanov and with him invited David Duke to Russia in 1999 [2]. Kasimovsky was 24 years old in 1998 placing his year of birth in either 1973 or 1974 [3].
