[td]The ideology of the National Socialist Society has commonly been described as [[Hitlerist]], [[pan-Slavic]], [[white supremacist]], [[anti-Semitic]], and [[xenophobic]]. The group sought to overthrow the existing Russian government and create a [[totalitarian]] [[White ethnostate]] in its place which would be based upon the doctrine of [[National Socialism]] and the [[Nazi Party]]. Despite having an openly radical anti-government rhetoric, the National Socialist Society attempted to present itself as a legitimate political party - possessing a strict hierarchy but with somewhat individual autonomy to each of its subordinate regional factions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://flb.ru/infoprint/46923.html|title=Национал-социалистам не дали «завалить Россию трупами» : Неонацисты совершили два десятка убийств подготовили масштабный теракт|website=flb.ru}}</ref> To promote the National Socialist ideology, the NSO organized pickets and rallies, distributed propaganda materials, and conducted online propaganda through its official website. Aside from political activities, the group also trained its members in paramilitary combat techniques and [[guerrilla warfare]] tactics in preparation for terroristic acts and a supposedly impending "[[race war]]". At the height of its popularity, the National Socialist Society had factions in at least thirteen different Russian cities which included [[Moscow]], [[Ryazan]], [[Voronezh]], [[Saint Petersburg]], and [[Nizhny Novgorod]]. According to the Russian newspaper ''[[Izvestia]]'', the NSO became one of the nation's the most influential and wealthy neo-Nazi organizations. The group was no stranger to physical brutality, however.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c5TBCwAAQBAJ&dq=Dmitry+Rumyantsev&pg=PA285|title=Black Wind, White Snow: The Rise of Russia's New Nationalism|first=Charles|last=Clover|date=April 26, 2016|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=978-0-300-22394-1 |via=Google Books}}</ref> During the six-year span of its existence, countless affiliates of the National Socialist Society perpetrated a series of violent [[hate crime]]s which included assault and murder.
