Concepts of Fascism in Contemporary Russia and the West

Political Studies Review, 2005, vol. 3, issue 1, 34-49

Abstract: During the 1990s, Western comparative fascist studies underwent a process of consolidation. A growing number of scholars agreed to and now use various forms of a more or less consensual definition of fascism as an extremely nationalistic and revolutionary ideology. In contrast, the conceptualisations and applications of ‘fascism’ in post‐Soviet Russia are contradictory continuing Soviet misuse of the term. Increasing anti‐democratic tendencies in Russian politics and society suggest closer attention by Western scholars to putative post‐Soviet fascisms.
