Why young neo-Nazis beat classmates for "wrong gear"

In early May, a group of teenagers in Vladivostok were caught extorting money and beating their peers. The parents of the affected children contacted the police after learning that schoolchildren and their older comrades were intimidating schoolchildren and trying to "bet on money." The hooligans kept the neighborhood at bay for several months, but law enforcement turned their attention to them after they brutally beat a 15-year-old schoolboy for tucking up his jeans. It turned out that the members of the group threw stones at children, smashed glass in the entrances, and took away bicycles. The most typical bully complaint against the victim was that the child was "incorrectly" dressed.

Vladivostok is not the only place in Russia where such communities exist. Such teenagers call themselves casuals from the English "casual", which means everyday style of clothing. However, the direct meaning of this word movement has a rather conditional relationship. Lenta.ru understood the phenomenon of new street hooligans.

Severe Russian casual

Initially casual style gained popularity among the English football fans late 70s early 80s. In order not to attract the attention of the police, young people preferred clothes of certain brands: Lacoste, Fila, Fred Perry and stone island. The last two were held in special esteem in these circles because of their high cost. In the early 90s, the wave casual style came to Europe, and towards the end of the 90s began to gain momentum in Russia. Casual-brand clothing began to be delivered to GUM, TSUM and other large department stores, and clothing markets were filled with fake fan polos, patches and sneakers. Such paraphernalia gained particular popularity after the release of the film "Okolofutbola" in 2013.

This movement lives with varying success in one city or another. The style itself was found in Russian regions its own grotesque form. Unlike football fans in England, Russian casuals are predominantly schoolchildren. Teenagers dressed in camouflage pants and fan clothes stick to certain line behavior. Gathering in groups of like-minded people, they are looking for a suitable victim for pressure. In the language of casuals, this is called "present for gear." As a rule, the essence of a verbal skirmish is to provoke a fight in the format of several people against one.

Explain for gear

Perhaps the most typical sign of a young casual is a patch (patch) with the Stone Island logo. The cost of such a patch in online stores does not exceed 300 rubles, while the price of a branded windbreaker on the website Italian brand reaches 700 euros. The most enterprising schoolchildren managed to steal real patches in the Central Department Store, but after numerous incidents, the store administration was forced to remove them from trading floor. You can sew patches on almost any item of clothing: sweatshirts, caps, hats, down jackets and T-shirts. Some juvenile hooligans, for reliability, mold two patches at once. The image of a real casual will be incomplete without other elements of style - camouflage or sweatpants and fake New Balance, Nike or Adidas sneakers. Often, armed with folding Chinese knives or brass knuckles, they go around the yards to nightmare the messengers and passers-by.

The reason for clinging to a random person can be his belonging to any subculture, as well as wearing fan clothes, which needs to be “explained”. Fight off such a disassembly without using physical strength quite difficult. Often, casuals provoke a quarrel with their own kind. The main condition is that the person or group of people who fall under the distribution should be small. Run into a group aggressive teenagers it is possible due to almost any detail of the wardrobe that differs from the “correct” one. For example, turn-ups on jeans, in their understanding, are a sign of homosexuality, and a man with long hair, most likely, you will have to "justify why he is not a woman." At their core, casuals are not much different from gopniks, but a little younger and with sympathy for nationalist ideas. Although often the depth of knowledge of adolescents about nationalism is limited to Wikipedia and the Vkontakte publics.
