While I do endorse their agenda, I question whether B'nai Brith has a 
bit too much influence in Canadian politics.

OTTAWA – Following B’nai Brith Canada’s advocacy, the Federal Government 
has designated a violent extremist network as a terrorist organization.

Known as the “Maniac Murder Cult” (MKY, a Russian-language 
abbreviation), the shadowy hate-group has links to several European and 
North American neo-Nazi movements. MKY’s adherents meet online, often in 
encrypted messaging channels, to promote various extremist ideologies, 
including white supremacy and antisemitism. It has made inroads into 
Canada during the past few years, targeting youths with hateful 
propaganda and inciting violence. In March, 2025, for example, Winnipeg 
police arrested a young person for spraying graffiti with the letters 
MKY in public spaces in the city, along with hateful symbols such as the 
Hakenkreuz (Nazi hooked cross).

“MKY is an example of how online webs of ideological extremists 
systematically radicalize youths and contribute to real-world harms,” 
said Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s Director of Research and 
Advocacy. “Listing MKY as a terrorist organization is important because 
it gives police more tools to proactively respond to the threat it poses 
to Canadian society.”

The Government’s decision is a direct product of B’nai Brith Canada’s 
advocacy at the Federal level. Our organization has collaborated with 
law enforcement across the country to bring appropriate attention to MKY 
and similar threats to public safety in Canada. In May, 2025, B’nai 
Brith Canada wrote a letter to the Minister of Public Safety urging his 
office to add MKY to its list of terrorist entities.

MKY is associated with other trans-national, ideologically-driven 
terrorist movements, including two additional groups the Government 
listed in its announcement Wednesday: the Terrorgram Collective and 764.

In its press release announcing its decision, the Government noted that 
Canada is the first country in the world to proscribe 764, which has 
also been accused of sexually exploiting and blackmailing Canadian 
children. B’nai Brith Canada has repeatedly raised concerns about 764 in 
discussions with Government officials.

“We applaud the Government of Canada for showing leadership in the fight 
against online extremism and international terrorism,” said Simon Wolle, 
B’nai Brith Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “B’nai Brith Canada 
remains committed to supporting Government efforts to identify and 
proscribe ideologically-motivated violent extremist groups that 
constitute a threat to Canada’s national security.”
