It is one of the great ironies of the history of fascism that,
despite their fascination with ultra-nationalism, its adherents
understood themselves as members of a transnational political
movement. While a true "Fascist International" has never been
established, European fascists shared common goals and sentiments
as well as similar worldviews. They also drew on each other for
support and motivation, even though relations among them were not
free from misunderstandings and conflicts. Through a series of
fascinating case studies, this expansive collection examines
fascism's transnational dimension, from the movements inspired by
the early example of Fascist Italy to the international antifascist
organizations that emerged in subsequent years.

"The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist" is the first
comprehensive and scholarly biography of the Ukrainian far-right
leader Stepan Bandera and the first in-depth study of his political
cult. In this fascinating book, Grzegorz Rossolinski-Liebe
illuminates the life of a mythologized personality and scrutinizes
the history of the most violent twentieth-century Ukrainian
nationalist movement: the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists
and its Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Elucidating the circumstances in
which Bandera and his movement emerged and functioned,
Rossolinski-Liebe explains how fascism and racism impacted on
Ukrainian revolutionary and genocidal nationalism. The book shows
why Bandera and his followers faileddespite their ideological
similarity to the Croatian Ustaa and the Slovak Hlinka Partyto
establish a collaborationist state under the auspices of Nazi
Germany and examines the involvement of the Ukrainian nationalists
in the Holocaust and other atrocities during and after the Second
World War. The author brings to light some of the darkest elements
of modern Ukrainian history and demonstrates its complexity, paying
special attention to the Soviet terror in Ukraine and the
entanglement between Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, Russian, German,
and Soviet history. The monograph also charts the creation and
growth of the Bandera cult before the Second World War, its vivid
revivals during the Cold War among the Ukrainian diaspora, and in
Bandera's native eastern Galicia after the dissolution of the
Soviet Union.
