Teenagers told the truth about PMC Redan: “Children are caught and beaten for nothing”

MK talked to the Redanovites to understand who they are and what they want.

“Death to the bald … (obscene) in hell,” is the motto of PMC “Ryodan” in their public on the social network. Adik, if anyone does not know, is an abbreviated well-known sports brand. The Redans claim to be fighting “offniks” – those who start fights for any reason, for example, football fans are referred to as offniks. But there is an opinion that the “spiders” also oppose people of “non-Slavic nationality”. A 16-year-old athlete from the Moscow region, in an interview with MK, said the following: “I know that these are neo-Nazis who walk in things with spiders in popular places where there are crowds of people and beat people of other nationalities or people in sportswear in a crowd. They always attack in droves.”

However, the Ryodan representatives themselves are now actively trying in their communities and TG channels to convince the people that they have no “nationalist ideas”; moreover, they condemn any manifestation of hatred on racial grounds. And if anyone falls under their “hot hand” from the “non-Slavs”, then by pure chance. They also assure that they never start conflicts first, but only suffer for their appearance, which “someone” does not like.

Here is the “official” statement in the PMC Redan community after the incident in the Aviapark shopping center: “In your opinion, it’s cool to crowd an innocent 16-year-old teenager into the toilet and make him apologize on his knees just because he dressed in merch (clothes with symbols – ABT.) hikikomori kai with a spider, and then take his clothes from him? What’s good? Personally, I am against insults towards people of any nationality, I think this is wrong. Yes, perhaps a part of Ryodan could once hurt people of a different nationality … “.

“MK” talked with a 16-year-old supporter of “PMC Ryodan” from the city of Dzerzhinsky:

– First. Ryodan is originally a clan tag (a special designation in a nickname, which, based on symbols or abbreviations, shows which clan you belong to – AVT). from the Japanese anime Hunter x Hunter (Hunter x Hunter), he explained to us. – Second. Regarding the fight in Aviapark on February 19, I can say that a company of athletes clung to a company in clothes with spiders – simply because of their appearance. “Athletes” were the first to start a fight. The guys in the redan could not stand it and fought back. Then these videos spread across the web. Everyone began to support the company of “spiders”, as the video clearly shows that people in sportswear behaved inappropriately and were the first to start a brawl. It is unfair that people are beaten and judged for their taste/choice. There are many videos where people in redan clothes are beaten and poured with peppercorns. Ryodan is not a terrorist organization, but just people who would like to express themselves and be free to choose clothes or hair, for which they are condemned.

– They say about Ryodan that they oppose people of “non-Slavic nationality”, is that true?

“That’s definitely not true. Ryodan does not hate people of different religions and races. I do not think that redans can condemn someone in choosing something or be biased towards any nationality. After all, they just want to show that this is the choice of each person, and that one cannot condemn a person for his appearance and much more!

MK also tracked down Katarina, who is what she called herself a “consumer of a clothing brand” and who owns the whole situation around Ryodan:

– Let’s start from the beginning. No group “PMC Ryodan” exists. This is a group that organized slam at concerts (the action of the audience at concerts, in which the audience pushes and collides with each other – AVT), – Katarina told MK. – Next, things with spiders are just a collection of clothing brand 2020 hikikomori kai, there is no message here, the designer released it based on one of the cartoons. A ryodan is a group of anime characters with their own goals, not a “criminal group” at all, as someone says. The number four, which is in the spider, does not mean anything, it is the number of a cartoon character. There is no grouping as such, but only a chat where children gather and discuss where to buy things, share links, etc.

“So the Ryodan don’t have any ideology, you say?”

– There is no specific ideology, but there are several rules. First, they never attack anyone, but they will not tolerate a beating either. They do not call for anything, they just walk peacefully, but if someone attacks, demands to take off their clothes or cut off their hair, they will not tolerate it and will respond.

– Where did the accusation of neo-Nazism come from then?

– After the fight, one of the administrators of the PMC Ryodan group wrote a lot of negative statements towards non-Russian citizens. After that, he realized that he had acted ugly and brought his official apologies to the group. He posted a video where he said that he did not think that everything would go so far, and that outsiders would suffer because of it. He left the administration of the society, and at the moment I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

– Why PMC in the title?

– There is no connection between PMC Ryodan and PMC Wagner. “PMC Ryodan” now is a group of teenagers 15-16 years old who get together and walk.

But most importantly, as Katarina assured us, both sides of the conflict have already apologized to each other and “began to promote mutual peace.” “The situation with the fight and the subsequent posts on the Web are very dangerous, because children are caught and beaten for no reason! We get a lot of these videos, where even girls who wear such things are attacked and beaten! We are trying to prevent such cases when the Redans are attacked. These are small children, they do not promote anything. They are victims of false information,” she concluded.
