On October 31, 2020, Russia-24 TV aired an interview with Rinaldo Nazzaro, the American white supremacist leader known as Norman Spear. Nazzaro is the founder of "The Base," a U.S.-based white supremacist group. The interview was filmed at a Holocaust memorial site in Russia. Nazzaro told the interviewer that he does not hate people of other races and religions and that Western media has been slandering him. He explained his opinion that nationalism is the solution to the problems caused by liberal globalism, and he said that he established The Base in order to build a place for people to learn how to survive in the event of a crisis such as civil unrest. He also explained that The Base is recruiting people online. In addition, Nazzaro said that Hitler has nothing to do with The Base because he had been the result of past historical circumstances. When asked if he denies the Holocaust, Nazzaro said that he does not know much about history.
