Expo has determined that the neo-Nazi activities in the country have risen by almost two times over the past three years. In 2014, the number of propaganda campaigns rose by 23% compared with the previous year.

Most activities include the distribution of propaganda material and flyers, organization of agitation campaigns and putting up stickers.

Sweden's capital Stockholm ranked first among the country’s cities in terms of neo-Nazi activities in 2014. Last year, neo-Nazi groups organized multiple campaigns, leading to mass disorders and dozens of arrests.
