White supremacists began migrating to VK over the past three years, Beirich said, when Facebook cracked down on hate speech. The platform offers a similar user experience as Facebook, complete with profiles and groups, but with seemingly less enforcement. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which also tracks extremist groups online, gave VK a D- grade for policing hate on its annual report card, but Facebook got a B-.
VK did not return a request for comment by deadline.
Although VK’s terms of service prohibit information “which propagandizes and/or contributes to racial, religious, ethnic hatred or hostility, propagandizes fascism or racial superiority,” Beirich said the site appears to turn a blind eye.
“Certainly from our perspective the site seems like a free-for-all,” she said. “And that is what white supremacists think, too.”
A few quick searches on VK reveal groups dedicated to preserving the Aryan race and honoring the legacy of Hitler. The news site Vocativ has counted 300 or so pro-Hitler groups on the site. Of the 202 followers of the “NSM USA Public Action” Nazi group on VK, 38 list their location as the U.S. And 243 of the more than 14,000 fans of “Aryan Girls” on the site appear to be American. A post on Stormfront claims VK is “used by 70 million white racialists everyday!”
Two years ago, an Adolf Hitler fan page on VK attempted to hold a “Miss Ostland” beauty pageant, but the page was shut down after Vocativ published a story about the event. Today, the “NSM [National Socialist Movement] USA” page on VK is alive and well. Its latest post was on May 17 —a video of a speech by American neo-Nazi commander Jeff Schoep.

"Just to get a sense of how radical this is," Graeber said, "when I was in Rojava, people told me ‘we're anti-capitalist. But we've learned from the 20th century that you can't destroy capitalism unless you get rid of the state. And that you can't get rid of the state unless you get rid of patriarchy.’ So that's why you see all those women soldiers. How to get rid of patriarchy? Well, making sure all women have access to automatic weapons is an obvious start."
Graeber added, "One of the first places they took me was a police academy, where they said, their ultimate aim was to give everyone in the country six weeks of police training, then abolish the police."
