naszyciu

Naszyciu, also known as Nashi (Russian: Наши, meaning "Ours" or "Ourselves"), was a Russian pro-Kremlin youth movement that was active from 2005 to 2013. The organization was founded in response to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Rose Revolution in Georgia, aiming to promote patriotism and support the policies of the Russian government, particularly those of President Vladimir Putin.

The movement was known for its large-scale rallies and events, often featuring colorful costumes, choreographed performances, and political slogans. Naszyciu's activities included promoting Russian history and culture, organizing social projects, and countering what it perceived as Western influence and threats to Russian sovereignty. The group was also involved in political campaigns, supporting pro-Kremlin candidates and parties in elections.

Naszyciu was criticized by some for its methods and alleged ties to the Russian government. Opponents accused the movement of being a tool for the Kremlin to suppress political opposition and manipulate public opinion. The group's members were often referred to as "Putin's youth" due to their strong support for the president and his policies.

In 2013, Naszyciu was officially disbanded and merged with another pro-Kremlin youth organization, Young Guard of United Russia, to form a new movement called Youth Guard. The merger was seen as an effort to consolidate pro-Kremlin youth groups and strengthen their influence. Despite its dissolution, Naszyciu's legacy continues to be a subject of debate and analysis in Russian politics and society.
