summary: "Maniac Murder Cult (MKY) is a Ukrainian-founded neo-Nazi accelerationist network rewarding escalating violence through 'Murder Points,' proscribed by the UK and Canada in 2025; its leader Michail Chkhikvishvili received 15 years in 2026."
---
[[Maniac Murder Cult]] (also known as MKY, MKU, MMC, Maniacs Murder Cult, and Maniacs: Cult of Killing) is a neo-Nazi accelerationist organization founded in [[Dnipro]], [[Ukraine]], approximately 2017-2018 by [[Yegor Krasnov]] ("Maniac") when he was approximately 16 years old. It combines explicit national socialism, theistic Satanism, and extreme misanthropy into an ideology it calls [[Racial Holy War|RaHoWa]] (Racial Holy War), and it implements a tiered "Murder Points" reward system that incentivizes escalating real-world violence as a form of organizational advancement. The group's self-declared terrorist identity and its encouragement of livestreamed attacks distinguishes it analytically from purely nihilistic networks within [[The Com]] ecosystem. The UK proscribed MKY as a terrorist organization on July 2, 2025; Canada listed it alongside [[764 Network|764]] and [[Terrorgram Collective]] on December 10, 2025.[^1]
### Origins in Dnipro
Krasnov founded the group in Dnipro after an alleged expulsion from another far-right formation, taking approximately 15 members with him. The group's first branded content (short videos of street attacks) appeared on the Russian imageboard 2chan in 2018, then migrated to VK and [[Telegram]] in 2019. The name derives from Krasnov's alias and the group's ideological framing of murder as a spiritual and political act.
The Haters Handbook (third edition, 2023) says Krasnov founded the group after being pushed out of an ultra-nationalist group, and claims MKY has been active since 2017.[^2] [[Kommersant]], citing [[Federal Security Service|FSB]] information, wrote in 2023 that he had belonged to several neo-Nazi organizations in Ukraine but did not fit in.[^3] The group's first branded content (short videos of street attacks) appeared on the Russian imageboard [[2chan]] in 2018, then migrated to [[VKontakte|VK]] and [[Telegram]] in 2019.[^1]
Ukrainian authorities arrested Krasnov in 2020, after which [[Michail Chkhikvishvili]] assumed operational leadership. Chkhikvishvili, a Georgian national who used the alias "Commander Butcher," expanded the network's international reach and shifted its recruitment toward Telegram and [[Wire]]/[[Matrix]] for encrypted internal communications distinct from its public-facing channels.[^2]
Police in Dnipro detained Krasnov in January 2020 after a knife attack on the city embankment was filmed and posted online;[^4] by March 2021 he was on trial in the Kirovskyi district court of Dnipro with a co-defendant on robbery and attempted murder charges, and was still directing MKY Telegram channels from jail.[^5] After his arrest, [[Michail Chkhikvishvili]] assumed operational leadership. Chkhikvishvili, a Georgian national who used the alias "Commander Butcher," expanded the network's international reach and shifted its recruitment toward Telegram and [[Wire]]/[[Matrix]] for encrypted internal communications distinct from its public-facing channels.[^2]
### Ideology and Murder Points System
MKY's ideological framework combines three elements: neo-Nazi accelerationism (the belief that mass violence against Jews, racial minorities, and LGBTQ+ individuals will precipitate societal collapse and enable a fascist reconstitution), theistic Satanism drawn from [[Order of Nine Angles|O9A]]-adjacent traditions, and a misanthropic exaltation of serial killers and mass murderers as exemplary figures. Venerated "saints" include the 2019 [[Brenton Tarrant|Christchurch]] attacker, [[Ted Kaczynski]] (the Unabomber), and the [[Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs]] - three Ukrainian teenagers who filmed and distributed murders in 2007.
The "Murder Points" system operationalizes this ideology through a formal rank structure: crimes earn different point values (higher for more severe acts), with accumulated points translating to elevated rank within the network. A documented tier hierarchy means members progress from vandalism through assault to arson to terrorism and murder, with the network's internal status architecture rewarding escalation. This distinguishes MKY from the largely status-driven nihilism of other Com subgroups: MKY's violence serves both internal rank and stated ideological goals.[^3]

### Prosecutions and Designations
The primary prosecution of MKY leadership was brought by the [[United States Department of Justice|U.S. Department of Justice]] against Michail Chkhikvishvili in the Eastern District of New York. Chkhikvishvili was indicted in July 2024 for soliciting hate crimes and planning a mass casualty attack in New York City. He was arrested in [[Chisinau]], Moldova in July 2024 and extradited to the United States in May 2025. He pleaded guilty in November 2025 and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Carol Bagley Amon in May 2026.
Yegor Krasnov, the founder, was arrested by Ukrainian authorities in 2020. His subsequent legal status under Ukrainian law has not been reported in English-language sources.
Krasnov was held in the Dnipro pre-trial detention center while on trial in 2021. The FSB said in December 2021 that he acted under the patronage of Ukrainian special services, which the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] called false.[^8][^9] The [[Basmanny District Court]] of [[Moscow]] arrested him in absentia on February 14, 2022 on a charge of murdering two or more persons, and the [[Supreme Court of Russia]] designated MKU a terrorist organization on January 16, 2023, on a claim by Prosecutor General [[Igor Krasnov]].[^10][^11]
Alongside the U.S. prosecution, the UK proscribed MKY as a terrorist organization on July 2, 2025, making membership a criminal offense in England and Wales. Canada designated MKY as a terrorist entity on December 10, 2025, in the same order that designated 764 and Terrorgram Collective.[^5]

Entry requirements escalate: documented acts range from vandalism and arson through beatings and stabbings to murder and mass murder. Recording and livestreaming attacks is a core requirement. This documentation-as-status dynamic, which researchers have compared to the "Columbine Effect" of copycat inspiration, is the mechanism by which NLM converted online activity into real-world violence across multiple countries.[^5]
In July 2024, NLM announced a formal alliance with Mordwaffen Division (MWD), a European neo-Nazi group. The Swedish branch of NLM operates under the name Mordwaffen ("mord" is Swedish for "murder"). NLM has also maintained ties to Maniac Murder Cult (MKY/M.K.Y.), a Ukrainian-origin nihilistic network founded circa 2017-2018 by the pseudonymous "Egor Yakovlev" (identified by Russian authorities as Yegor Krasnov, a Ukrainian national). NLM is described in some analyses as the English-language hub of MKY's international network.[^6]

### Relationship to 764 and Scattered Spider
NLM is distinct from 764 in operational focus: 764 centers on sextortion and coercion into CSAM as its core criminal activity, while NLM centers on real-world physical violence and the glorification of mass casualty attacks. NLM formally severed its alliance with 764 in May 2024. Both networks exist within The Com's broader Offline Com pillar, however, and personnel overlap has been documented.
Scattered Spider operates in The Com's Cyber Com pillar and has no direct documented operational relationship with NLM. The connection is structural: both are products of the same decentralized Com ecosystem, not affiliated organizations with shared leadership or operational coordination. Researchers at SANS have noted that Cyber Com, Extortion Com, and Offline Com share cultural markers and personnel pipelines, but NLM's specific activities are not cyber-focused and no credible source has documented a direct Scattered Spider-NLM operational link.[^7]

A 14-year-old boy, known online as "Slain764," who claimed to lead the Swedish NLM cell operating under the name Mordwaffen, carried out multiple unprovoked knife attacks in the Hässelby suburb of [[Stockholm]]. Swedish state broadcaster SVT reported at least six to eight separate attacks in the area. Documented incidents include:
- An attempted murder of an elderly woman in July 2024.
- An attempted murder of an 80-year-old man in September 2024, who was stabbed multiple times, suffered a punctured lung, and was hospitalized. The victim later described himself as "grateful to be alive."
All attacks were filmed and uploaded to Telegram to gain status within NLM and 764 networks. Because the attacker was under 15 years of age at the time, he could not be held criminally responsible under Swedish law. An administrative court ordered him placed into care under Sweden's Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act. Swedish prosecutors classified the case as terrorism-related due to its intent to spread public fear.[^8]

#### Sweden - Borås (January 2025)
A separate 14-year-old boy with documented connections to 764 and NLM stabbed a woman in the back while she was walking her dog. The attack was livestreamed on the internet. The attacker later confessed during an evidence hearing at Borås District Court. Prosecutor Louise Bremander confirmed the boy's connections to both 764 and NLM. The attacker told police he had difficulty making friends and wanted to gain status in the online group, and claimed other group members had pressured him to commit the attack. He was subsequently found guilty of the assault. The case has been examined in the context of The Com's cross-border influence on Nordic youth.[^9]

ISD research linked nihilistic violence subcultures including NLM to at least four school shooters and five disrupted school shooting plots, as well as a foiled plot in Italy involving a 15-year-old who planned to murder a homeless person and livestream it. A man in Virginia was arrested in possession of approximately 150 explosive devices; his backpack displayed a "#NoLivesMatter" patch, indicating ideological alignment. The FBI has stated it opened more than 250 investigations into related cases spanning all 55 of its field offices across the United States.[^10]

No Lives Matter members beyond Justin B. have been arrested in connection with NLM-specific charges. The broader 764 network has seen extensive law enforcement action: between 2020 and 2025, 191 members of 764 or affiliated groups across 28 countries were arrested for sextortion, CSAM possession, or violent attacks. The two Swedish teenage attackers described above were subject to administrative rather than criminal proceedings due to their ages. No other named NLM members have been reported as arrested on NLM-specific terrorism charges as of this writing.[^6]
