About Tsagaan Khas

Tsagaan Khas or Dayar Mongol is a Mongolian nationalist organisation that claims to have 3,000 members, though other sources claim the organisation to have "more than 1000 members". It was founded by Ariunbold Altankhuum. Its co-founder, who goes by the alias "1984 Big Brother", has described his group's mission thus: "Adolf Hitler was someone we respect. He taught us how to preserve national identity .... We don't agree with his extremism and starting the Second World War. We are against all those killings, but we support his ideology. We support nationalism rather than fascism." The group's members dress in typical Nazi attire and make use of the "sieg heil" greeting, Nazi colors, and the Nazi eagle. They have justified their use of Nazi imagery by pointing out that the swastika has Asian origins.
