The growing influence of Russia on the Western far right has been
much discussed in the media recently. This book is the first
detailed inquiry into what has been a neglected but critically
important trend: the growing links between Russian actors and
Western far right activists, publicists, ideologues, and
politicians. The author uses a range of sources including
interviews, video footage, leaked communications, official
statements and press coverage in order to discuss both historical
and contemporary Russia in terms of its relationship with the
Western far right. Initial contacts between Russian political
actors and Western far right activists were established in the
early 1990s, but these contacts were low profile. As Moscow has
become more anti-Western, these contacts have become more intense
and have operated at a higher level. The book shows that the
Russian establishment was first interested in using the Western far
right to legitimise Moscow's politics and actions both domestically
and internationally, but more recently Moscow has begun to support
particular far right political forces to gain leverage on European
politics and undermine the liberal-democratic consensus in the
West. Contributing to ongoing scholarly debates about Russia's role
in the world, its strategies aimed at securing legitimation of
Putin's regime both internationally and domestically, modern
information warfare and propaganda, far right politics and activism
in the West, this book draws on theories and methods from history,
political science, area studies, and media studies and will be of
interest to students, scholars, activists and practitioners in
these areas.
