I think it's pretty easy to conclude that you're wrong. Arkona expertly avoids making their music overly nationalistic. Of course, it is Folk Metal, and folk does mean 'the people', so it's hard for any Folk or Folk Metal band to escape its nationality. I have always felt that Arkona draws on Russian *culture* not Russian *politics*, and they do so extremely well. There is no Nazism here, so don't bring it up.

Arkona is a great band, and it's fine to think your culture and people are interesting, and even worth celebration—but nationalism is dead and, frankly, stupid.

Nationalists are not an issue only you fags think so. Arkona music is itself part of this soul, lyrics sing of Slavic glory! Not all metal is as liberal and politically correct as to be easy listening! This is Russia! Arkona is part hardcore, it is a very light neo-nazi. It could be more but explicitly states that it is indifferent to neo-nazism. Fuck you! Nationalists are not an issue only you fags think so.
