This book examines the development of the Russian radical right in exile between 1918 and 1945. The radical right, which represented one of the most prominent groups of Russian political exiles, both continued its pre-revolutionary activities and at the same time was inspired by new ideologies of the interwar period, primarily fascism.
Offering a comprehensive, comparative analysis of the political activities, and political thinking of individual groups of the radical right, this book shows the groups' political connections and radical right activities. Groups included monarchists, new groups founded by the younger generation of political, for example, the so-called Mladorossy (Young Russians), Fascists, Russian military émigrés, and the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The biographical chapter examines leading ideologist of the monarchist right-wing emigration, philosopher Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin. This book demonstrates that the radical right represented one of the prominent political currents of Russian emigration.
This book is especially important in that contemporary right-wing radicalism in Russia draws on the thinking of these right-wing exiles very extensively. It will be of interest to researchers in modern Russian history, Russian emigration, and right-wing radicalism as well as 20th-century history.
