With Russia experiencing political and economic crisis amid the dissolution of the Soviet Union in November 1991, Nevzorov established the People's Liberation Movement "Nashi", which he defined as "a united front of resistance to the anti-national politics of the current administration of Russia and other Union Republics of the former USSR".
The organisation was based in Leningrad (later Saint Petersburg), where Nevzorov hosted the scandalous television broadcast 600 Seconds.
Its positions were similar to Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democratic Party of the Soviet Union and the more "right-wing" groups of the National Salvation Front.
The members of Nashi were sometimes called nashists, a pun based on similarity with the word "fascists".
In 2015, during an interview with Echo of Moscow, Nevzorov acknowledged that he was indeed a fascist during the early 1990s when he founded Nashi but was not since then due to his disillusionment with the First Chechen War which he initially supported when it started in 1994, as the war and body count dragged on, he rejected the fascist mentality that led him to promote it.
