#2 There is always a new threat, Fat Bob Thrart2867 — generally several at once. ?While there are a number who deserve to to have the rubble bounced around them, there are none whom I would nuke — unless we happen to have plenty of neutron bombs in storage.

#4 did they call themselves neo-Nazis or were they just the regular Slavic white supremacists so common in that part of the world?

Slavic but with international contacts and training center. Last week's koran burning in Sweden likely had contacts w/ RIM and done on behalf of the FSU.
Executive Summary
The Russian Imperial Movement (RIM) is an extreme-right, white supremacist militant organization based in St. Petersburg, Russia. Founded in 2002, the group promotes ethnic Russian nationalism, advocates the restoration of Russia’s tsarist regime, and seeks to fuel white supremacy extremism in the West. RIM maintains contacts with neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups across Europe and the United States. The group has provided paramilitary training to Russian nationals and members of like-minded organizations from other countries at its facilities in St. Petersburg. Members of RIM’s armed wing, the Imperial Legion, have fought alongside pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and been involved in conflicts in Libya and Syria. In addition to its ultra-nationalist beliefs, RIM is known for its anti-Semitic and anti-Ukrainian views. The U.S. State Department listed RIM as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) in April 2020. It is the first white supremacist group to be designated as a SDGT.

Yes, them! Thank you for that link — I’ve wanted something more authoritative than Deutsche Welle for a while. But the Deutsche Welle article, from a few years back, along with others from the the same time period (see for example this, from a group supported by George Soros’ Open Societies Foundation) squarely put the neo-Nazis and White supremacists in the pro-Russia camp from the beginning, along with Russian government acceptance for the movement.
