The Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI; Russian: Движение против нелегальной иммиграции; ДПНИ; Dvizheniye protiv nelegalnoy immigratsii, DPNI) was a Russian far-right and nationalist organization.[1] In addition to opposing illegal immigration, the DPNI targeted Russians from ethnic, religious, and sexual minority backgrounds.[2]

From 2008 to 2010, the DPNI was led by Aleksandr Potkin, a former member of the ultranationalist Pamyat organization. The Supreme Court of Russia (Russian: Верховный Суд Российской Федерации) declared the DPNI an extremist organisation and banned it in 2011.
