It seems that the European far-right is heavily divided over events in Ukraine, with the division running to some extent between east and west Europe. So the British National Party, the Front National of France, the Greek Golden Dawn all back Russian nationalism, whereas the far-right in Poland and the Baltic states favour Ukrainian nationalism, presumably basing their stance on domestic anti-Russian sentiments. It could be that the Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian ultra-right favour Russia at least partly because of the Orthodox connection. Jobbik in Hungary is interesting, as it backs Russia; is it because it has some irredentist ideas for Carpatho-Ukraine? Another exception is the Swedish fascist group Svenskarnas Parti (Swedes Party), which sent a squad to Kiev to join in the fighting there alongside Svoboda and the Right Sector. To complicate matters, both the pro-Russian BNP and the pro-Ukrainian Svenskarnas Parti recently sent delegations to Damascus that were received by the Assad regime. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
