(Was Boris Kagarlitsky there, I wonder.)
Within a month’s time, two conferences of pan-European right-wing
radicals took place.
The first one took place in Vienna on the 31st of May and was hosted by
Russian billionaire Konstantin Malofeev, the owner of the Moscow-based
Marshall Capital. Malofeev is known for financing Russian right-wing
extremists who are fighting against Ukrainian authorities in Eastern
Ukraine: Igor Girkin, the former colonel at Russia’s Main Intelligence
Directorate, and Aleksandr Borodai, a Muscovite businessman who is
serving as “Prime Minister” of the virtual “Donetsk People’s Republic”.
Due to the clandestine nature of the conference, the full guest-list is
unknown but Austrian-Swiss journalist Bernhard Odehnal who has revealed
this conference argues that the following people were present:
Russian fascist Aleksandr Dugin; French National Front’s Marion
Maréchal-Le Pen (granddaughter of Jean-Mari Le Pen) and Aymeric
Chauprade; Austrian Freedom Party’s Heinz-Christian Strache, John
Gudenus and Johann Herzog; Bulgarian Ataka's Volen Siderov; leader of
the Spanish Catholic-monarchist Carlist movement Prince Sixtus Henry of
Bourbon-Parma; and director of the Swiss financial company Edifin Serge
de Pahlen.
Many of the participants hailed Russian current president Vladimir Putin
as Europe’s “redeemer” from Americanism, liberalism, secularism and
homosexuality.
The second pan-European far right conference took place in Stockholm on
the 22nd of June and was called “Identitarian Ideas VI”. It was hosted
by the Swedish far right think-tank Motpol (Antithesis) and Swedish far
right periodical Nationell Idag (National Today).
At this conference, Austrian identitarian ideologue Markus Willinger
presented his new book Europa der Vaterländer (Europe of Fatherlands);
Manuel Ochsenreiter, editor of the far right magazine Zuerzt! (First),
was talking about geopolitics of the crises in Ukraine, Syria and
Kosovo; while Patrik Forsén of the Swedish right-wing extremist Nordisk
Ungdom (Nordic Youth), John Morgan of Arktos, Patrik Ehn from Nationell
Idag, Eva Charlotta Johansson from Motpol, and Manuel Ochsenreiter
discussed Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
