Kings of the streets, or Who are skinheads

Who are skinheads - Nazis or ideologists?

It is an informal association of men of mostly young age. Literally the name "skinheads" (photo) is translated as "shaved head". Are these really aggressive Nazis who do not recognize any other race than the Russian? Is it true that skinheads claim that Russia is only for Russians?

Skinheads in Russia appeared in the so-called "dashing nineties". They were shaved naked guys in turtles (boots with long lacing) with tattoos of Celtic, pagan or Scandinavian symbols. Their ideology is that "power belongs only to whites." Relations skinheads are built on the principle of rigid hierarchy with the use of an unspoken code of honor.

A subculture or a criminal group?

Now It is considered that skinheads are the real bandits, that this is absolutely uncultured criminal grouping. Let me not completely agree with such conclusions! Of course, we are by no means going to justify them, but nevertheless we will make some clarity about who are skinheads in the ideological sense of the word. To begin with, let us single out a few values of this youth movement. So, skinheads claim that:

• First, a person must be a patriot of Russia;
• Secondly, a person must work;
• Thirdly, a person must learn;
• Fourthly, a person should not be ... racist!

As we see, the necessary subcultural elements are there. And nobody can call this kind of culture a bunch of criminals, as well as criminal groups - subcultures! And now attention! Let's bring some clarity in all this. The young skinheads have some "imitators" called "bonhedheads." Their movement is the same youth subculture, but has nothing to do with the ideology of skinheads. All that connects them with them is the birches, bald skulls and braces. In this case, the bonhed themselves call themselves skinheads!

Podstava

It is the bonhedheads (and not the skinheads) who do not miss a single rally or massacre that the nationalists are happy with. They are the real Nazis! In the 90 years among the skinheads there were well-read and intelligent guys. But by the beginning of the zero years instead of "intellectual" skinheads came, sorry for the expression, stupid skinhead "scumbags" - bonhedheads from different suburban areas. They constantly organized pogroms in the markets, beat ethnic Uzbeks, debauch in electric trains, and with the advent of the Internet began to create Nazi sites with thematic slogans such as "Entrance" churks "- ordered!" Or "Become a skinhead - and you are God!". In my opinion, this is not only terrible, but also blasphemous.

Since the answer to the question "who are skinheads" in one word - "cattle", it means only one thing: these "parodists" have achieved a complete degree of confusion with skinheads. They even have a "code of honor" that is understandable only to them, but at the same time there is no definite power, the groups are disparate (for 10 to 15 people), having their own obvious "leaders" and their own principles, which are sometimes not understood by the adequate person .

Who is who: debriefing

Let us recall once again that our article is not aimed at the idealization of skinhead representatives of one of the subcultures, and we do not justify them, we just justly state the facts. People do not know who skinheads are. Remember, these are not Nazis or criminals! These are just followers of a certain subculture with their own rules, values and norms of behavior. And the most insulting in all this is that when stupid bonhods commit crimes and pogroms, everyone all at once shout that they are skinheads. Why not set up ?!
