Nashi (Russian Youth Movement)
''Nashi'' (russian: Молодёжное демократическое aнтифашистское движение «Наши», lit=Youth Democratic Anti-Fascist Movement "Ours!", translit=Molodezhnoye demokraticheskoye antifashistskoye dvizhenye "Nashi") was a political youth movement in Russia, which declared itself to be a democratic, anti-fascist, anti-"oligarchic-capitalist" movement. Nashi was widely characterized as a pro- Putin outfit, with the '' Bureau of Investigative Journalism'' describing it as "Putin's private army". Western critics have detected a "deliberately cultivated resemblance to" the Soviet Komsomol or to the Hitler Youth and dubbed the group "''Putinjugend''" ("Putin Youth"). Senior figures in the Russian Presidential administration encouraged the formation of the group, which Moisés Naím labelled a government organized non-governmental organization (GONGO). By late 2007, it had grown in size to some 120,000 members aged between 17 and 25. On April ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Logo Of The Nashi (youth Movement)
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark.
