Block FACT (Russian: Блок «Фаланга антикоммунистического тарана», lit. 'Block "Phalanx of Anti-Communist Ram"') is part of a Russian far-right group, operating in St. Petersburg and established in the autumn of 2010.

The public statements from Block FACT often represent hard anti-communism. The organization's criteria for labeling a group as communist are quite broad. For example, the regimes of Muammar Gaddafi, Bashar Assad, and even the Kingdom of Bahrain were labeled as "communist" by Block FACT.^[2]

Block FACT claimed responsibility for the beating of St. Petersburg Stalinist historian Igor Pykhalov [ru],^[3] setting fire to a Communist Party car (September 2011),^[4] and assaulting magistrate Alexei Kuznetsov (April 2013).^[5] Block FACT claimed responsibility for beating Communist Party secretary Alexey Rusakov (August 2012),^[6] burning a Communist Party car (February 2012),^[7] desecrating and destroying a series of Soviet memorials (plaques of Lenin, Uritsky, Romanov, Trefolev and Voytik), and attacking several activists of Communist organizations.^[1]

Some commentators characterized the actions of Block FACT as a relaxed variant of European neo-fascist terrorism of the 1970s.^[8] It is assumed that the activists of Block FACT attacked a former Duma deputy, Viktor Tyulkin. The leader of the St. Petersburg communist organizations, Tyulkin, was beaten on 4 October 2013, after a communist demonstration commemorating the 20th anniversary of the events of October 1993. One of the attackers congratulated Tyulkin with "happy holidays".^[9]
