Is Russia Fascist?
2021
Overview
In Is Russia Fascist?
, Marlene Laruelle argues that the charge of \"fascism\" has
become a strategic narrative of the current world order.
Vladimir Putin's regime has increasingly been accused of embracing
fascism, supposedly evidenced by Russia's annexation of Crimea, its
historical revisionism, attacks on liberal democratic values, and
its support for far-right movements in Europe. But at the same time
Russia has branded itself as the world's preeminent antifascist
power because of its sacrifices during the Second World War while
it has also emphasized how opponents to the Soviet Union in Central
and Eastern Europe collaborated with Nazi Germany.
Laruelle closely analyzes accusations of fascism toward Russia,
soberly assessing both their origins and their accuracy. By
labeling ideological opponents as fascist, regardless of their
actual values or actions, geopolitical rivals are able to frame
their own vision of the world and claim the moral high ground.
Through a detailed examination of the Russian domestic scene and
the Kremlin's foreign policy rationales, Laruelle disentangles the
foundation for, meaning, and validity of accusations of fascism in
and around Russia. Is Russia Fascist? shows that the
efforts to label opponents as fascist is ultimately an attempt to
determine the role of Russia in Europe's future.
