Story on British newspaper: Mongolian neo-Nazis: Anti-Chinese sentiment fuels rise of ultra-nationalism

British newspaper "Guardian" shed a light on previously unknown Mongolian so-called Neo-nazi group " White Swastika"... It is hard to understand admiration of the group for the short Austrian corporal with moustache! The man was pure evil and worthless loser who managed to  brainwash Germans to kill millions of innocents in the name of racial purity. The corporal had somewhat deep abhorrence of everything about Asian/Mongoloid/Slav people. He speeches are full of hatred against "Asian-Mongolian-Slavic barbarism and inferiority". Hitler is a not a man to be idolized by Mongolians. We are not so-called stupid "Aryan" race with blond hair and blue eyes. We have to remember that there are stupid Neo-nazis in the West and Russia who hate us just for being Mongolian with dark hair and black eyes. We have to remember that we are Mongolians who have greater history and culture and military history than the stupid and short-lived German Third Reich. Mongolian Empire was the largest land empire in the world and then-Mongolian military commanders and soldiers are brilliant and much better than the Germans.It was Mongolians who conquered more than half of then existing world through Blitzkrieg (Lightning) campaign.  It is time for us to learn our history and restore our national pride.Great Lord Chinggis Khaan, founder of  our Mongol nation was wise and brave person and He should be the our object of admiration and worship and not the loser, worthless austrian corporal.The short man could not even father a single child?? The corporal was not a man enough?  Why read product of his sick mind-Mein Kempf? Instead, we should be reading our Mongolian books including "Mongolian secret history". The "history" clearly states " Chinggis Khaan was born with his destiny ordained by Heaven above." We, the nation founded by Chinggis Khaan is ordained by Heaven above...

No doubt that the austrian corporal would have ordered total annihilation of Mongolian race if Germans defeated Soviet Union and invaded Mongolia.The corporal considered  Slavs like blond haired and blue-eyed Polish people and Russians inferior and subhumans and then there is no doubt what he would have thought about us-Mongolians! He would have kept few of us to put in charge of his imperial herd in Mongolia and annihilated rest of Mongolians. Why worship a man who wanted us all dead and gone and disappeared!!  Imitating German brainless monkeys-Nazis is an insult to Mongolian pride and eternal glory of thousands of ethnic Mongolians who died in fight against Nazi germany. Hitler was not a good military strategist and commander. Chinggis Khaan never fought a battle if he was not sure of winning. Unlike Chinggis Khaan, short austrian attacked Soviet Union without accurate estimation of his capacity.Short austrian killed himself in the end of war. He was a coward and died like a dog....In short, nothing to be admired in this person-Hitler.It is just very unfortunate he was able to mesmerize millions of Germans into believing him as superman.

We are a nation of conquerors and brave soldiers and superior culture. We, mongols know deep down we are superior and better than many other countries and people. China is our neighbor and we can not move away from our eternal neighbor. We have to learn to live with our neighbor. The Guardian journalist did not mention about many positive developments between Mongolia and China. As usual in media practice, she made much effort to track down a previously unknown group and quote their "Big brother" leader.

There are dozens of private Chinese language schools and Chinese language is becoming very common in Mongolia. Mongolia and China both were invaded by Manchus and became part of Manchu Ching Dynasty. Both liberated in 1911 when Ching dynasty fell. There is no such thing as China (Beijing) does not recognize independence of Mongolia. China is the second country to open diplomatic mission in Mongolia after the Soviets. On the other hand, we know that Taiwan (Republic of China) still does not recognize Mongolia's independence and considers Mongolia part of Greater China. Chinese people are not enemies of Mongolian people. It is the ignorance, alcoholism, poverty, corruption and inequality within Mongolian people, short-sightedness and lack of clear vision for our country hinders our path to development. Hatred should not directed against common Chinese people. There are thousands of Mongolians who study in China and who do business with China. The story clearly designed to hurt Mongolia's relationship with China.

Mongolian neo-Nazis: Anti-Chinese sentiment fuels rise of ultra-nationalism

Alarm sounds over rise of extreme groups such as Tsagaan Khass who respect Hitler and reject foreign influence

Their right hands rise to black-clad chests and flash out in salute to their nation: "Sieg heil!" They praise Hitler's devotion to ethnic purity.

But with their high cheekbones, dark eyes and brown skin, they are hardly the Third Reich's Aryan ideal. A new strain of Nazism has found an unlikely home: Mongolia.

Once again, ultra-nationalists have emerged from an impoverished economy and turned upon outsiders. This time the main targets come from China, the rising power to the south.

Groups such as Tsagaan Khass, or White Swastika, portray themselves as patriots standing up for ordinary citizens in the face of foreign crime, rampant inequality, political indifference and corruption.

But critics say they scapegoat and attack the innocent. The US state department has warned travellers of increased assaults on inter-racial couples in recent years – including organised violence by ultra-nationalist groups.

Dayar Mongol threatened to shave the heads of women who sleep with Chinese men. Three years ago, the leader of Blue Mongol was convicted of murdering his daughter's boyfriend, reportedly because the young man had studied in China.

Though Tsagaan Khass leaders say they do not support violence, they are self-proclaimed Nazis. "Adolf Hitler was someone we respect. He taught us how to preserve national identity," said the 41-year-old co-founder, who calls himself Big Brother.

"We don't agree with his extremism and starting the second world war. We are against all those killings, but we support his ideology. We support nationalism rather than fascism."

It is, by any standards, an extraordinary choice. Under Hitler, Soviet prisoners of war who appeared Mongolian were singled out for execution. More recently, far-right groups in Europe have attacked Mongolian migrants.

Not all ultra-nationalists use this iconography; and widespread ignorance about the Holocaust and other atrocities may help to explain why some do.

Tsagaan Khass points out that the swastika is an ancient Asian symbol – which is true, but does not explain the group's use of Nazi colours, the Nazi eagle and the Nazi salute; or the large picture of the Führer on Big Brother's cigarette case.

Nor does it seem greatly relevant, given their unabashed admiration for Hitler's racial beliefs.

"We have to make sure that as a nation our blood is pure. That's about our independence," said 23-year-old Battur, pointing out that the population is under three million.

"If we start mixing with Chinese, they will slowly swallow us up. Mongolian society is not very rich. Foreigners come with a lot of money and might start taking our women."

Big Brother acknowledges he discovered such ideas through the nationalist groups that emerged in Russia after the Soviet Union's fall; Mongolia had been a satellite state. But the anti-Chinese tinge is distinct and increasingly popular.

"While most people feel far-right discourse is too extreme, there seems to be a consensus that China is imperialistic, 'evil' and intent on taking Mongolia," said Franck Billé of Cambridge University, who is researching representations of Chinese people in Mongolia.

Hip hop tracks such as Don't Go Too Far, You Chinks by 4 Züg – chorus: "shoot them all, all, all" – have been widely played in bars and clubs. Urban myths abound; some believe Beijing has a secret policy of encouraging men to have sex with Mongolian women.

Yet Tsagaan Khass claims it welcomes law-abiding visitors of all races, and Big Brother can certainly be hospitable.

Enthusiastically shaking hands, he says: "Even though you are a British citizen, you are still Asian, and that makes you very cool."

He says the younger members have taught him to be less extreme and the group appears to be reshaping itself – expelling "criminal elements" and insisting on a good education as a prerequisite for membership. One of the leaders is an interior designer.

But critics fear ultra-nationalists are simply becoming more sophisticated and, quietly, more powerful. Tsagaan Khass say it "works closely" with other organisations and is now discussing a merger.

"Some people are in complete denial … [but] we can no longer deny this is a problem," said Anaraa Nyamdorj, of Mongolia's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Centre.

The US state department has noted increased reports of xenophobic attacks since the spring. The UN country review cites a recent vicious assault on three young transgender women. When one of the victims publicly blamed an ultra-nationalist group – not Tsagaan Khass – death threats quickly followed.

"They are getting more support from the public," added Enkhjargal Davaasuren, director of the National Centre Against Violence, who fears that ultra-nationalists are growing more confident and victims too scared to come forward. She pointed to a YouTube video posted last year, showing a man roughly shaving a woman's long hair. The victim's face is buried in her hands, but her hunched body reeks of fear.

Others in Ulan Bator suggest the movement is waning and suspect the groups' menacing stance and claims of 3,000 members are bluster. Billé thinks there is "a lot of posturing".

"We have heard of instances [of violence]. They are not necessarily all right or all wrong," said Javkhlan, a Tsagaan Khass leader. But the group is simply a "law enforcement" body, he maintained: "We do checks; we go to hotels and restaurants to make sure Mongolian girls don't do prostitution and foreigners don't break the laws.

"We don't go through and beat the shit out of everyone. We check our information and make sure it's true."

They rely on police and media pressure to reform such businesses, he added. And if that failed? "We try to avoid using power," he said. "That would be our very last resort."
