In Voronezh, Russia – a city that lies on the Southeastern Railway connecting Western Russia with the Urals, Siberia, the North and South Caucasus, as well as Ukraine – one can stumble across a peculiar clothing store specializing in lifestyle choices for those “united by common ideas.”

Aptly named ‘Aggressive Clothing Comp,’ the store’s only recognizable feature is the white banner proudly positioned outside its entrance. Three figures are drawn on the banner above the store: a crusader, a Viking, and a fighter. The three figures face a pagan symbol known as the Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun).
