The Combat Terrorist Organization (Russian: Боевая террористическая организация, romanized: Boyevaya terroristicheskaya organizatsiya) was a short-lived Russian neo-Nazi gang active from 9 August 2003 to 2006. It was formed in Saint Petersburg by two members of the Mad Crowd skinhead group, namely, Dmitry Borovikov and Alexey Voyevodin.
Compared to other Russian neo-Nazi groups, the CTO remained relatively secretive. The group also used confidential mobile phones to communicate. The CTO rarely met in the open and avoided talking about ideology or tactics near power sockets, preferring to write their words on paper. In contrast to other neo-fascist groups of the time, there were no skinheads among its members.
On June 14, 2011, the trial of eight members of the group began, with member Pavel Rumyantsev tried separately.
