Entangled Far Rights

Since the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, Russias support to the European far rightand to a variety of populist leaders more globallyhas become a cornerstone of the Wests perception of Moscow as a 'spoiler' on the international scene. The fact that Russias most fervent supporters are now to be found on the right of the ideological spectrum should not be a surprise. The European far right has always had Russophile tendencies, but these were obscured during the Cold War, when rightist politics were most of all anti-Communist. Entangled Far Rights traces the 'intellectual romance' that existed between European far right groups and their Russian-Soviet counterparts during the twentieth century and accounts for their recent re-emergence.
