The thing I find the most ironic is that its countries who were getting their behinds handed to them by Germany during WW2, are now the very countries where this White Nationalism is on the rise. If I remember correctly, the neo nazi skins in the former USSR make up a 1/3 of the worldwide population of neo skins. I don't know if anybody watches Ross Kemp on Gangs, excellant show. The one episode he went to Poland, and they interviewed some Nazi Skins, and it was funny hearing them say how much they hated blacks. Ross Kemp was like, "I haven't seen one black here, since I arrived." It was really bizarre. At one point at a bar, a black dude came in with his white girlfriend, and they told them politely that they need to leave. Kemp said, that was the only black dude he seen in Poland the entire time he was there. I think a lot of it has to with typical youth anger, and needing to be a part of something. Whether its the young Latino joining a Sureno gang, young black joining the GDs, or a white dude joining skins. What I get a kick out of, is aint none of them making any money. A decade after joining the gang, they don't have anything to show for themselves.

Yes it is!
Europe is not a good place for football violence, here in UK it is back on the rise. Things did cool down quire a bit during the late 90's. Part of the cause has been put down to movies portraying football firm violence and the glorification of it e.g greenstreet, football factory.
Of course religion and politics play a huge role (Eg. both in Ireland & scotland).
I attend many football matches, usually without issue. Most fighting is organized away from the game.

You wouldn't think soccer could raise such animosity in its fans.

Broken Promises
Neo-nazism is alive and well in Europe, particularly the Eastern block countries.
The thing to remember though, is that they are a tiny minority of the community. Generally, they are young, un- or under- employed, who have nothing better to spend their time and energy on.
The rest of the community do not agree with the neo-nazis, and if the neo-nazis have a protest rally (which is allowed), they will be outnumbered by protesters against the neo-nazis!
