Fact:
On April 3, 2017, the day Vladimir Putin was due to visit the city, a suicide bombing was carried out in the St. Petersburg metro, killing 15 people and injuring 64. An al-Qaeda affiliate, Imam Shamil Battalion, claimed responsibility.
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: "Für den Terrorismus-Experten Hans-Jakob Schindler ein bekanntes Vorgehen in der Neonazi-Szene: 'Im Gegensatz zur übrigen Musikindustrie in Deutschland, welche durch erhebliche Konkurrenz gekennzeichnet ist, operiert die gewaltorientierte rechtsextreme Musikszene auffällig kooperativ. Bands wechseln von Album zu Album das Label, Shops bieten das gleiche Sortiment an, verweisen aufeinander, sollte das Sortiment knapp werden.'"
