Firstly, Marlene Laruelle examines the overarching picture of Russias bedfellowing policy towards the European Far-Right, noting that these new relationships provide the Putin regime with multiple channels for influence within certain European countries. Secondly, Pter Krek, Lrnt Győri and Attila Juhsz assess the linkages between Putins Russia and Hungarian right-wing political parties, whereby one such party, Jobbik, is now working to promote Moscows policies and interests in both Hungary and the European parliament. Thirdly, Giovanni Savino outlines how the recent shift within far-right political parties in Italy towards pro-Russian positions is due to the image of the Kremlin as a bastion of traditional values, conservative policies and anti-US forces.
