1.0 Introduction

Milikolosskrieg (MSK) is an emerging extremist formation drawing on the ideology of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), a neo-Nazi and occultist group. While its confirmed activity remains limited, the group promotes violence, predominantly online, and seeks to expand its influence among youth audiences. MSK poses a significant threat to youth radicalisation as well as a terrorist threat to the general population, marked by its intent to commit terrorist acts and its stated route to operationality. 

2.0 Motto and Symbols

2.1 Motto

There is no confirmed motto in public reporting or MSK materials. However, as an affiliate of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A), MSK consistently echoed O9A themes of the Neo-Nazism, accelerationism and extreme violence. [source, source]

2.2 Symbols

A document obtained from Scribd titled “Symbol Manifesto” outlines the meaning attributed to Milikolosskrieg’s emblem. The use of “999” is presented as the inverse of “666” and is said to represent chaos and evolution. [source]

The upper central circle is described as symbolising “unity and infinity,” explicitly linked to O9A’s Sevenfold Way, which advocates the dissolution of old identities and the creation of “new empowered beings”. [source]

The vertical line with a branched path is explained as signifying “stability,” while supposedly represents the roads and choices encountered in transformation, along with the “sacrifices” inherent in that process. [source]

The group’s adoption of such symbolism reflects its positioning as a “nexion” of O9A. A nexion is an esoteric term defined as a kind of occult gate or portal, thus MSK serves as a sort of offshoot from O9A. In this light, MSK regularly uses the O9A “star” symbol in its propaganda. [source, source]

3.0 Organisation  

3.1 Place within Broader Extremist Networks  

MSK does not sit neatly within a single ideological tradition. Instead, it reflects the hybrid model common to O9A’s offshoots – blending satanic esotericism, far-right imagery, and accelerationist narratives. MSK sits among this broad line of O9A offshoots or ‘nexions’, including groups like Tempel ov Blood, Satanic Front, 764 and the Maniac Murder Cult (MMC). [source, source, source, source]

The group overlaps with the online accelerationist ecosystem, where violent neo-Nazi, esoteric, and incel subcultures share propaganda and tactics. While rooted in O9A influence, MSK’s position is best understood as part of a loose, transnational extremist network that thrives on cross-pollination rather than rigid ideology. [source]

3.3 Ideological/ Philosophical Underpinnings

MSK’s ideological posture combines several overlapping extremist ideologies. As an offshoot of O9A, the group frames its values around the following currents:

• Race war/ Neo Nazism [source]
• Accelerationism [source]
• Radical nihilism [source]
• ‘Traditional satanism’ [source, source]
• Extreme misanthropy [source]

Key thematic expressions in MSK materials include:

• Humanity as decay: describes society as a corrupting “swamp” that erodes the individual, and that human nature is naturally violent. [source]
• Illusions of morality: Concepts such as love, justice and empathy are framed as false constructs – “no one cares for anyone else”. [source]
• Liberation through misanthropy: Embracing misanthropy is seen as an “awakening”. Misanthropy supposedly frees an individual from societal chains, separating them from the “herd”. [source]
• War: The core of the group is a call to action through a violent transformation. They urge followers to “rise above the muck” and embrace a “path of blood, chaos, and absolute destruction”. Extreme violence is at the centre of the group’s messaging. A person believed to be a member of the group posted a series of violent videos, with MSK’s name included (user discretion advised). [source, source]

3.5 Recruitment 

Methods

Recruitment appears to occur primarily through online social media channels and remains discreet and layered. Inside sources unwittingly indicated the group is not yet fully operational and is currently focused on luring and screening prospective members. We therefore assess that the group’s present phase may be recruitment- focused. [source]

Vice observed propaganda on TikTok, alongside manifestos and “call announcements” distributed via open-source document platforms, which directs interested individuals to anonymised contact points. A series of documents uploaded to Scribd contained recruitment appeals and contact details. Another text referenced members “turning some” and being instructed to “share the invitation, expand the ranks”. [source, source, source, source]

Following increased public and media exposure, activity has shifted further underground, evidenced by the deletion of a Telegram group previously used for outreach. According to unwitting inside sources, this publicity prompted heightened emphasis on anonymity and stricter access controls. Entry into the group’s primary communications channels reportedly requires validation and approval. Although, its so-called “Main Room” on Signal is more accessible. Thus, we assess that this ‘Main Room’ functions as a preliminary filter, allowing the group to identify and screen individuals before progressing them toward full recruitment. [source, source, source]

The administrator of the MSK Signal group chat stated that once membership reaches 1,000, they will create “cell organisation”. Current membership in the Main Room stands at just over 300 and continues to rise gradually. [source]

Requirements

MSK has not established formal entry criteria. However, the circulated documents emphasise that personal traits are of little relevance. Stated requirements focus instead on commitment, discipline, and the will to participate, with ideology framed as secondary to capacity and resolve. [source, source]

Vice characterised MSK as targeting young people for recruitment. A series of uploaded documents corroborates this assessment. A file titled “MSK Participations” explicitly references youth recruitment, stating that the typical age of entry lies “around sixteen to seventeen years”. [source, source]

Membership is relatively fragmented. They draw from a range of ethnic and national backgrounds, with indications of German, American, U.K., Canadian and Turkish involvement, and likely extending further. The group’s open posture is highly likely to increase the potential for rapid personnel growth and a global broad, diverse base. [source, source, source, source]

3.6 Connections to other important organisations

MSK exhibits multiple ideological and symbolic overlaps with known extremist entities. Beyond these direct references, digital terroristic content, especially within Terrorgram, hosts a wide ecosystem of online subgroups propagating similar accelerationist and occultist ideologies. Differentiating between potentially operationally relevant groups and ephemeral online collectives remains very difficult. Nonetheless, the listed crossovers and connections include:

3.6.1 Order of Nine Angels (O9A)

MSK is intrinsically linked to O9A, operating as a node within the network and adopting its core values and principles. Documents and videos believed to be uploaded by MSK members states their core values are deeply aligned with the principles of O9A: [source]

• “Self-overcoming”: individuals should embrace chaos, violence and destruction as a path to transformation. [source, source; user discretion advised]
• “Esoteric wisdom”: rooted in O9A’s occult teachings, emphasising knowledge gained through initiation trials and personal exploration. [source]
• “Nexion building”: portraying MSK as an entity dedicated to extending the reach of O9A’s philosophy. [source]

3.6.2 No Lives Matter (NLM)

NLM is an accelerationist extremist entity that emerged within the broader neo-Nazi and Terrorgram ecosystem. The group promotes a nihilistic, anti-human ideology that rejects traditional racial or political boundaries. They instead glorify indiscriminate violence as the ultimate objective. [source, source] 

NLM is linked to MSK, as evidenced by repeated references in MSK material and shared stylistic features.

Our discovery of an NLM × MSK “Human Destruction Guide,” further underscores this connection. The document contains violent propaganda and instructional content on causing harm, such as explosive manufacturing. The discovery demonstrates that the two entities align ideologically and collaborate in content production.

3.6.3  Emerging online groups with links to MSK include Harakat Sami Jahanam (HSJ), Injekt Satanic Division, Nationalist Socialist Groups, and the Satanic Maniac Cult (SMC).

Considering the vastness and connectivity of these O9A, Neo-Nazi online offshoots, it is highly likely MSK has connected with various other organisations. A few that we came across were HSJ, Injekt and SMC.

We assess HSJ is a newly formed online collective rather than a structured or established organisation. Members of the MSK Main Room were also active in HSJ and Nationalist Socialist Groups. Both groups share extremely violent posts and indications of intent to commit terroristic activities. [source, source, source]

HSJ presents itself as being in a recruitment phase like MSK, with members stating to be in the process of “gathering” people. The group chat spread common Terrorgram-style propaganda, including violent edits, direct threats against individuals, and themes of sexual violence and mass killing. Notably, it also distributed instructional material, including explosive-manufacturing and ricin poison tutorials. [source, source]

While HSJ appears to be an immature, youth-dominated collective typical of many transient online groups, the circulation of extremist propaganda and instructional content warrants continued monitoring. Its proximity to MSK channels suggests potential cross-pollination. [source]

According to imagery circulated on Signal, MSK shows connections with the Satanic Maniac Cult (SMC) and Injekt Satanic Division. Both groups, like MSK, blend O9A-inspired Satanism with accelerationist and neo-Nazi themes, using violent iconography and youth- focused propaganda. The shared symbols suggest MSK is part of a loose extremist ecosystem where groups reinforce each other’s narratives rather than operating as distinct organisations. [source, source, source]

5. Tactical-Operational Information  

5.1 Current Operational Environment

We found no evidence that MSK has organised operations beyond vandalism. The group has remained largely inactive since its public disclosure following graffiti incidents in Germany and subsequent media exposure, including Vice reporting on its infiltration of a now-deleted Telegram channel. This apparent quiet period may reflect an effort to increase anonymity, but unwitting inside sources suggest it also indicates a recruitment-focused phase. [source, source, source]

Gaining access to MSK’s primary group chat remains difficult. However, screenshots dated three months ago, obtained from a group member, show the administrator declaring that once membership reaches 1,000, MSK will transition to a cell-based organisational model. While it is unclear whether this threshold is realistic or aspirational, it demonstrates intent to evolve from a diffuse online presence into compartmentalised offline structures more closely resembling conventional terrorist organizations. 

Additional evidence points toward the same trajectory. MSK presents itself as a vehicle for operationalizing O9A doctrine. The NLM X MSK Human Destruction document not only includes instructions on manufacturing explosives, but also features photographs depicting an individual actively engaging in the process. The image shows MSK written in the centre, although we cannot verify whether the person depicted is a member of the group. [source, source]

A Scribd document attributed to the group outlines an operational network model requiring 120 active participants to begin acts of “urban disruption,” including targeted property damage, interference with vehicles, and defacement of public or private spaces, specifically educational institutions. When Vice accessed their original Telegram, they found MSK members speaking of targeting schools and religious sites. [source, source]

5.2 Core Purpose

According to documents uploaded to Scribd, Milikolosskrieg describes its purpose as “to act as agents of chaos, transformation, and evolution.” The group positions itself as a vanguard, holding exclusive insight into the “truth” and leading a violent renewal. This framing is self-mythologising and egocentric, designed to imbue recruits with a sense of elitism and separation from wider society, a common theme in extremist, dangerous movements. [source]

From an intelligence perspective, however, the group’s purpose is more limited. At present, it serves as an online space for recruitment and indoctrination, primarily through social media and Terrorgram subcultures. In line with its primarily young membership, much of the propaganda takes the form of simple visual edits and meme-style content typical of youth-driven online spaces. In this way, MSK’s broader purpose situates it within the rising dynamic of youth-on-youth radicalisation through digital communities. [source, source]

5.4 Personnel size 

Reliable estimates of MSK’s size remain very difficult to establish and we do not want to understate its size. This stems from the groups covert nature and its fragmented structure, which makes it challenging to distinguish committed members from passive observers. The main room shows approximately 300 members, however this likely underrepresents the group’s active full size. [source]

6.0 The Future 

MSK’s content, remarks, and militant principles indicate the group warrants ongoing monitoring. As the Institute for Strategic Dialogue noted, decentralised networks especially enable influencers in private channels to evade attention, complicating disruption efforts. Furthermore, we expect anonymity and covert activity to get stricter with more public exposure. As discussed previously, their operational phase appears to be, as of present, in a recruitment phase. [source]

In accordance with SAT’s intent–capability framework, MSK demonstrates a clear and high level of intent to engage in terrorism. Although MSK’s current capability remains uncertain, it suggests a trajectory toward capacity- building through statements about operationalising once membership thresholds are met. If capability develops, the likelihood of violence significantly increases. [source]

MSK stated values and shared ideals indicate likely targets may be institutions like schools or religious sites, or individuals, including Jews, other minorities, women, police affiliates, or those in the LGBT. Vice’s infiltration into their group chat depicts MSK members actively considering some of these targets. [source]

7.0 Conclusion  

MSK currently poses a serious radicalisation threat to the youth. This is by exploiting online platforms and embedding desensitisation through an incessant torrent of violent messaging, edits, and propaganda. Beyond radicalisation, MSK also presents a terrorism threat to civilian populations, as its propaganda explicitly promotes disruption, vandalism, and targeted attacks against public and private spaces¹. The combination of youth appeal and violent rhetoric ensures that, even if limited in scale, the group retains the potential to inspire harmful actions that extend well beyond its core membership. Groups like MSK therefore demand sustained monitoring and highlight the need for stronger measures to regulate extremism across social media platforms.

It is important to note that, due to the group’s primarily online presence, lack of observable operational activity, and current difficulties in accessing deeper layers of its network, this assessment necessarily relies, in part on, unverified social media content and user-uploaded documents. Nevertheless, given that MSK operates within fragmented online ecosystems and niche extremist subcultures, a degree of reliance on such material is both unavoidable and essential. Accordingly, this investigation reflects the group’s natural digital milieu, where its propaganda, recruitment, and ideological identity are most actively expressed.

¹ Such tactics are consistent with current trends observed in Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) operations. Russian intelligence services have leveraged informal, decentralised networks and young people to promote disruption and destabilisation. There is not, however, any current indication of linkage between MSK and SVR. [source, source]
