World Without Nazism (WWN; Russian: Мир без нацизма, МБН, Mir Bez Natsizma, MBN) is a Russian political organization with ties to Vladimir Putin's government, which claims to campaign against neo-fascism.[a][2] The group has also been described, by security agencies from Estonia and Latvia, as a Russian propaganda organization,[2] and as a Kremlin-sponsored GONGO,[3] which aims to advance Russian foreign policies against formerly Soviet-occupied countries and to promote "a Soviet-era approach to World War II".[4] The organization was founded and is led by Boris Spiegel, a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. It was founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, on 22 June 2010, and is registered in Strasbourg, France.[5][6][7]

The organisation accuses the countries that were formerly part of the Communist Bloc of "rapid nazification." It criticizes the "Western European democracies" for their alleged role in starting World War II and proposes a common history textbook for all of Europe based on "serious scientific study, as well as the decisions of international judicial and political authorities on which basis the postwar world order had been built".[8]
