Introduction to Russian neo-Nazis
There are reportedly 120 nationalist organizations displaying fascist and neo-Nazi symbols in Russia, the more prominent are the Russian National Union, Russian National Council, and the Russian National Unity. All these groups are extremely xenophobic (distrust of strangers), very antisemitic (hate Jewish people), and blame all of Russia's problems on an imagined "Jewish and Zionist Conspiracy."

Russian National Union

Russian National Union (RNS) is led by Konstantin Kassimovsky. It is a Racist nazi party. Its Red flag has a black St Andrew cross fimbrated with white, in the center there is white circle (outlined black) with original black cross ("Cross-Hammer").
Jaume Ollé, 07 May 2000 and 13 May 2000
The top part of the cross looks like cyrillic letter "P" — first letter in russian word "Russia".
Victor Lomantsov, 07 May 2000
According to Andrey Jahwlansky, the symbol of RNS is a
lobarum (Jesus Christ monogram) consisting from crossed Greek letters ("X" and "P"). Source:
Flag Report 17 [

Jaume Ollé, 07 May 2000 and 13 May 2000
I doubt about the interpretation of this symbol being the
khi-ro monogram (the first two letters of "
Χριστος", Greek for "Christ"). While this flag shows a cross potent with a hook extending from the side of the upper arm, the
labarum (at least as used now by the
Catholic Church though I believe it is quite the same elsewhere) is rather a "P" and an "X" superimposed, the first slightly elongated: "☧". There are big differences between both symbols. Moreover, the use of a religious symbol on a russian neonazi flag would make sense only if it were a distinct Russian Orthodox symbol, which is not the case.
António Martins, 10 May 2000
The
Russkiy Natsional’niy Soyuz (RNS) is a neo-Nazi party based in Russia. The party grew out of the followers of Konstantin Kasimovsky, a leading member of Pamyat in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. He split from the Pamyat-led National Patriotic Front in 1992 and formed his own party, the Russian National Union, the following year. This party re-emerged as the "Russian National Socialist Party" (RNSP) in 1998.
The party bases itself on four principles i.e. Orthodox Christianity, a strong state, aggressive Russian nationalism and non-Marxist socialism. The party symbol is the Labarum of Constantine the Great and since 1999 have published a newspaper "Right Resistance," itself a successor to the earlier journal "Stormtrooper."

This version is identical to the R.N.E. logo in their posters, badges and stikers.

This is the main neonazi organization in Russia. Operating in semi-underground regime, it engages itself in the same kind of activities as its
western counterparts.
António Martins, 10 Sep 1997
Russian National Unity lead is by Barkashov.
Victor Lomantsov, 20 Oct 2000
The "bladed swastika" is actually supposed to be a swastika on a
cross of St. Andrew.

Yet another version of the flag of Russian National Unity: This time the bladed swastika is black and is placed on a white square, with tips protuding outside the square, but showing a white fimbriation against the red background; all inside a red ring. Red shade is clearly darker. It would maybe be of interest to know which flag or flags are really used.
António Martins, 27 May 1998, quoting
Nazism Exposed | Flags and Symbols (Pål’s site)
The
Rossiyskoye Natsional’noye Yedinstvo (RNU) is a far right, ultra-nationalist political party and paramilitary organization based in Russia and operating in states with Russian-speaking populations. It was founded by the ultra-nationalist Alexander Barkashov and claims to have 20,000 members, making the National Unity one of the largest extremist organization in Russia.

Russian National Socialist Party
Russian National Socialist Party and
Northern Alliance are the second largest neo-nazi parties in Russia, after
R.N.E.. Unfortunately I have no flags of RNSP.
Mikhail Paraskan, 22 Oct 1999
The Russian National Socialist Party achieved notoriety in 2007 when a video appeared on the internet showing members decapitating one immigrant and shooting another. The party was one of several neo-Nazi parties started by Konstantin Kasimovsky after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The RNSP was formed in 1999 after Kasimovsky closed down his previous party called the Russian National Union.

Russian National Socialist Party and Northern Alliance are the second largest neo-nazi parties in Russia, after
R.N.E.. Northern Alliance uses four different flags: The
tricolor, as was used by General Vlasov Army (
ROA) who collaborated with German Army and Reich; I think that is why Severnij Alijans use it together with old Aryan symbol
Swastika.

The Northern Alliance used four different flags: The two double cross shield versions, the Russian tricolor with swastika, and the old
ROA flag of General Vlasov's army, which collaborated with the German Army and Reich during World War II (also known as the Flag of Russia and
Russian Naval Ensign).

On February 11, 2003 the Presidium of the Central Political Council of the National State Party of Russia (an unregistered radical nationalist party, in Russian:
Национально-державная партия России | Nacionalhno-derẑavnaâ partiâ Rossii — "
Derẑava" = "
das Reich" in German language) has adopted a decision
About the flag of the National State Party of Russia, according to which the flag consists of three equal horizontal strips: white, red and black (Spirit, Blood and Ground). Picture of flag from
official site of this party.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 19 Apr 2003
This flag seems to be an appropriate compromise between the
German Imperial Flag (colors) and the
Russian National Flag, or perhaps the
Russian Imperial Flag (light colors on top, dark at the bottom). By the way: is this red
алый or
кроповой?
