The Rise of a Violent Skinhead Gang Leader
Michail Chkhikvishvili, also known as “Commander Butcher,” has been identified as the leader of the violent Eastern European skinhead gang, “Maniac Murder Cult” (MKY). Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn recently filed a sweeping felony indictment against the 20-year-old man, implicating him in numerous assaults and fatal attacks both locally and abroad. Chkhikvishvili has ties to the com/764 pedophile network and has been linked to a killing in Romania.
Allegations and Arrest of Chkhikvishvili
Chkhikvishvili was arrested in Moldova on July 6 after an Interpol warrant was issued for his arrest. He faces charges of conspiring to incite attacks against homeless people, Jews, and other minorities. The prosecution alleges that he distributed explosives-making instructions and made threats of violence during online conversations with undercover FBI operatives. Additionally, he is accused of planning a sinister plot to poison Jewish children on New Year’s Eve 2023.
The Extremist Connections of MKY
According to FBI reports, MKY follows a neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology and advocates for violence against minorities, particularly targeting the Jewish community. The group, founded by Yegor Krasnov in Ukraine, has been involved in numerous violent incidents in Russia and Ukraine. MKY members promote face-to-face violence, distribute guides on carrying out attacks, and document their violent acts as a requirement for joining the gang.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the connections between MKY and other extremist groups such as 764 remain largely unknown. The group has been linked to violent incidents and criminal activities both domestically and internationally, indicating a widespread and dangerous network of radical individuals.
