Why Opreshniks? Wouldn't they be called Oprichniks, like Ivan's?

Probably because its a translitaration from cyrilic, I found a few different spellings. If you think "Oprichniks" is the best one, I'll make the change.
The symbol looks a lot more modern then the period of the original. In addition, from what I found, the symbol they used was a dog *skull* and a broom (no cross or sword). I think it is simply something concocted by the organisation behind the website. Note also that the historical members are said to have worn black cloak with skull-and-bones motif on them.--Marc Pasquin 14:52, 14 November 2005 (PST)

Marc,

I was just asking, as I tried to look up Opreshnik and found Oprichnik.

Take care,

No prob, I just assume you spoke russian. After you mentioned it though, I tried googling it and found these:
Oprichnik 9420
Opresnik 781
Opreshnik 2
Guess your right nonetheless, will make the change.--Marc Pasquin 15:31, 14 November 2005 (PST)
