This statement is extremely speculative and according to a more reliable source, completely false. According to a research article by La Trobe University, historically Neo-Nazi groups have worked together with Putin and the government. Stating "In 2008-09, the Kremlin was threatened by Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny’s efforts to build an anti-Putin coalition of democrats and radical nationalists in Russia. In response, the Kremlin began to work with Russkii Obraz (“Russian Image”, or “RO” for short), a hardcore neo-Nazi group best known for its slick journal and its band, Hook from the Right."
