Extreme Nationalist Threat in Russia

This book examines the nature of the extreme right in contemporary Russia arguing in particular that alongside a continuing tradition which emphasizes Russia's orthodox and traditional past an increasingly important intellectual current is drawing on Western European neo-fascist ideas and adapting them to the Russian situation. This book examines this intellectual current within the context of increasing conservatism across Russia as a whole showing how the new ideas have an impact right across the political spectrum and assessing the threat posed by them and their proponents.
