The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM; Russian: Русское имперское движениe, romanized: Russkoye imperskoye dvizheniye, RID)[13] is a Russian ultranationalist, neo-Nazi, white supremacist[14][15] militant organization[16] which operates out of Russia.[17][18][19][20] The group seeks to create a new Russian Empire. Its paramilitary wing is the Russian Imperial Legion. During the Donbas War, it recruited and trained thousands of far-right volunteers who joined the Russian separatist forces in Ukraine.[21] It has also given training to other far-right groups in Europe and North America.
Its leader is Stanislav Vorobyov.[16][22] It has been designated as a terrorist group by the United States[23][24] and Canada.[11] Some of its publications have been blacklisted in Russia, although the Russian government refuses to designate the group as a terrorist organization.[25]
