Homo ethnicus (Latin for "Ethnic Man") is a political manifesto that was created by the Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC) in May 2023. A far-right paramilitary unit of Russian citizens, based in Ukraine. In May 2023, the RVC's leader, Denis Kapustin described himself as a "patriot", a "traditionalist", a "right-winger", but rejected the label "neo-Nazi", saying "you’ll never find me waving a flag with a swastika, you’ll never find me raising my hand in a Hitler salute. So why would you call me that?"[1] Despite this, many have compared the unit's manifesto to Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf.[2]
