Ukraine Deports Americans Encouraging Neo-Nazi Terror Attacks

Both Men Were Members Of U.S. White Supremacist Group Atomwaffen Division

(New York, N.Y.) – Ukraine has deported

two American citizens who had belonged to the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen
Division (AWD) for attempting to establish a local AWD branch and trying to
join a far-right Ukrainian military unit to “gain combat experience.” The AWD
reportedly disbanded earlier this year, though former members have since
reorganized as National Socialist Order (NSO) in order to “build an Aryan,
National Socialist world by any means necessary.”According
<[link removed]>
to the Security Service of Ukraine, the two unnamed men disseminated a video
online that encouraged neo-Nazi-style terrorist attacks in Ukraine. The men
also reportedly participated in “illegal activities” in Kyiv, Lviv, and Kharkiv.

 

German for “atomic weapons,” AWD was a neo-Nazi organization founded in 2015
that sought the creation of a National Socialist government through a violent
“white revolution,” and believed in the inevitability of a coming race war. The
group promoted Nazi and satanic propaganda in pursuit of “total Aryan victory.”
AWD gained national prominence after some of its members attacked
counter-protesters at the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville,
Virginia. Police also suspect individual AWD members to be the perpetrators of
multiple murders throughout 2017 and 2018. The FBI arrested multiple AWD
members in February 2020 on harassment charges, leading to the group’s alleged
disbanding the following month.

 

In an approximately three-minute audio recording released on Soundcloud on
March 14,James Mason <[link removed]>,
a long-time member of the American neo-Nazi scene and author ofSiege, announced
AWD was disbanding

. The declaration followed the arrest ofJohn Cameron Denton
<[link removed]>, one of the
group’s alleged leaders, and four other suspected members for threatening
journalists and minorities. Mason stated that AWD was disbanding immediately
because of infiltration and arrests of AWD members by law enforcement, as well
as the claim that the media had falsely portrayed AWD as a terrorist group.

 

NSO, the unofficial successor group to AWD, says in its official program that
it completely rejects the current social-political world order as a “left-wing
framework cultivated by the Jew.” The group further calls for all members to be
armed and “ready at a moment’s notice.” NSO has affirmed it is a U.S.-based
organization but supports “the overthrow of all Jew-controlled governments
worldwide in order to liberate the Aryan race.”
