The sites of these projects have a high-quality design, feedback, the ability to purchase all products of these brands via the Internet. Otherwise, structurally, these are online stores that do not have content, but they are still of interest for our study, as an example of the implementation of commercial nationalist projects. WhiteRex brand is regularly accused of having links with the Nazis, and its creator, Denis Nikitin, does not hide his convictions: “I have lived in Europe for ten years: in Germany, Holland and Ireland. Gradually, I began to understand the ideas of nationalism. I began to ask myself why the white person was oppressed and realized that something was completely wrong. As the right was driven out of politics, they had to show their resistance by taking to the streets and beating up migrants. This was the only opportunity to protest”. Pictures printed on WhiteRex products show hostility towards communists (Commie hunting club T-shirt) and migrants (Angry Europeans – White Rex against tolerance).
