Shaynovna

Shaynovna is a neo-fascist nationalist paramilitary force representing Russians in Novosevensk. The name is short for Шайка народа Новосевенска (roughly: The Gang of the nation of Novosevensk). Its head is Artyom Khlopov-Sevensky, the great-nephew of Irina Sevenskaya.

History
The group has existed ever since the sixties as a reaction to the immigration of American-Lovians to Novosevensk. It has been at the root of many of the disturbances that have occured since then, including the Northern Lovian riots.

They are currently the most right-wing organisation in Lovia. They had good relations with the former IGP, but not with its successor the UNS, which Khlopov-Sevensky has denounced as 'a progessive ploy to draw support from the true fascist cause.'

Shaynovna was suspected of being behind the murder of two American tourists during the riots, the bodies of whom were abandoned at the doors of two well-known political leaders.
