Tsagaan Khas (Mongolian: Цагаан Хас, lit.'white swastika') is a Mongolian neo-Nazi organisation. It was founded by Ariunbold Altankhuum[1] in the 1990s,[2] amid Mongolia's transition to a market economy and the resulting increase in economic inequality.[3][4]

The group claims to have 3,000 members,[5][6][7] but Reuters reported in 2013 that it had "only 100-plus members",[2] while Mongolian historian Nyam Puruv estimated in 2009 that the group actually had only "dozens of members".[3] The organisation's electoral affiliate received less than 1 percent of the vote in the 2008 Mongolian legislative elections.[8][9]

According to Altankhuum: "The reason we chose [neo-Nazism] is because what is happening here in Mongolia is like 1939, and [Adolf] Hitler's movement transformed his country into a powerful country."[2] Altankhuum has praised Francisco Franco and Genghis Khan.[10]

The group's co-founder, who goes by the alias "Big Brother", said: "Adolf Hitler was someone we respect. He taught us how to preserve national identity ... We don't agree with his extremism and starting the Second World War. We are against all those killings, but we support his ideology. We support nationalism rather than fascism." The group's members dress in Nazi attire (such as uniforms resembling that of the Schutzstaffel) and use the "sieg heil" greeting, the Iron Cross, and the Nazi eagle. Its members have justified their use of Nazi imagery by pointing to the Asian origins of the swastika.[6][2][11][10]

Big Brother has asserted that the group does not promote crime, expels "criminal elements" from its membership, and requires its members to have a good education. He has also claimed that the group works closely with other ultranationalist groups in Mongolia.[11]

The group's members are characterized by their extreme anti-Chinese sentiment and opposition to interracial marriage. One follower of the group has expressed the view that: "We have to make sure that as a nation our blood is pure. That's about our independence ... If we start mixing with Chinese, they will slowly swallow us up. Mongolian society is not very rich. Foreigners come with a lot of money and might start taking our women." The group has been accused of harassing and promoting violence against interracial couples, immigrants, prostitutes, and the LGBT community.[11][12][10][13] The group has targeted Mongolian women who have had relationships with Chinese men, shaving their hair off and sometimes tattooing their forehead.[3]

Some negative attitudes towards Chinese people in Mongolia from groups such as Tsagaan Khas may be traced to the Soviet Union's policy of casting China as a threat to Mongolia, so as to receive allegiance from Mongolia.[3] During the Sino-Soviet split, the Mongolian People's Republic gave the Soviet Union its steadfast support in all matters.[14]

In 2013, the group tried to shift its focus to fighting pollution resulting from mining in Mongolia.[1] In an interview with Reuters, Altankhuum stated, "[O]ur purpose changed from fighting foreigners in the streets to fighting the mining companies."[2] Its members have appeared at mining operations, demanding to see paperwork and sometimes sabotaging the operations if they deemed it mismanaged. The group has demanded soil samples from the mining operations, in order to check for soil contamination. According to Altankhuum, the group wants to fulfill a role which the local authorities have supposedly failed at concerning foreign mining companies.[6][7]
