Russian Imperial Movement

The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is a far-right nationalist organization based in Russia that promotes monarchist and traditionalist ideals. It has gained international attention for its involvement in military training and support of pro-Russian separatists, particularly in Ukraine. Designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and other countries, RIM is accused of advocating for extreme nationalist causes and engaging in paramilitary activities. The group aligns with Russia's broader efforts to influence Russian-speaking and Russian nationalist communities abroad, often emphasizing reverence for Russia's imperial history.
