Introduction

Traditionalist Youth Network (TYN) uses/used an emblem composed of five arrows in a radial pattern, the horizontal two only partly visible (top halves) [1]. It looks like the top half of the symbol of Chaos, which was created by British writer Michael Moorcock and used in his fantasy stories [2]. On the armbands [1] and flags [3] of the TYN, it is depicted in yellow/gold color on black field and set off-center, closer to the top edge. This color set makes it also similar to the flag of Eurasian Youth Union, which has not been named as the source of inspiration, but may have been one, since the TYN founders did have contacts with various European far-right groups. including those from Russia, and drew inspiration from them [1].
