Nashi (Russian: Молодежное демократическое aнтифашистское движение «Наши», Molodezhnoye demokraticheskoye antifashistskoye dvizhenye "Nashi" Youth Democratic Anti-Fascist Movement "Ours!"') is a political youth movement in Russia, which declares itself to be a democratic, anti-fascist, anti-'oligarchic-capitalist' movement. Its creation was encouraged by senior figures in the Russian Presidential administration, and by late 2007, it had grown in size to some 120,000 members aged between 17 and 25. On April 6, 2012, the leader of Nashi announced that the movement would be dissolving in the near future, possibly to be replaced by a different organisation. He stated that the movement had been "compromised" during the recent presidential election.

In 2008, the movement was divided into groups: Nashi-2.0, Steel, All Houses, Nasha Victory and other.

Western critics have compared it to the Soviet Komsomol or the Hitler Youth and dubbed as Putinjugend.
