Ultras

Karelia-Discovery had two groups of fans: Crazy Karjala - fans who held traditional in Russia far-right political views and 2 Sector '''' - a rare group of fans in Russia who held anti-fascist views. The groups were at war with each other. In 2010, during the North-West Cup Final, about 150 Zenit St.Petersburg hooligans attacked anti-fascist fans of Karelia. The attackers used traumatic pistols and pepper gas. The match was interrupted. The replay took place a month later.
