    Seems to be blogger, who covers this Russia and far right topic. Good posts from him!

    This development supports my earlier argument that "European right-wing extremists seem to benefit financially from their cooperation with the Kremlin"

    Once pro Russian always pro Russian.

    The President of the Czech Republic advises Ukraine to surrender to the 'stronger neighbour'.

    And who says Putin is not "buying" European neo/ultra rightist support?

    Wow. €9 million was just the first transaction for Le Pen from Russia - another €31 million to follow

    Article in todays' German Bild newspaper.

    A report is claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin has far-reaching plans to secretly rule Europe via a covert operation with the title: “Putin: the new leader of international conservatism.”

    Sources in the German intelligence agency said the country’s eurosceptic party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), is being convinced by Russian secret agents as part of a wider-reaching plan to “to construct a network of right-wing populism in western Europe,” reported The Express, citing German newspaper BILD.

    BILD reported that Moscow’s Centre for Strategic Communications drafted up a blueprint for the covert operation with the title, “Putin: the new leader of international conservatism.”

    “In Europe Putin dreams – and he has said this publicly – of having a sphere of influence across the continent all the way down to Portugal,” BILD states.

    From Anton's blog, mentioned by Kaur:

    Marine Turchi's important piece for Mediapart concludes with a note that French investigators have already launched an inquiry into the funding sources of the FN. We can only hope that similar initiatives are undertaken in other European countries too, especially in Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria.
    I would add Italy to that list, with the Lega Nord. Even among the corruption-rich environment of Italian parties it's proportion of scandals and embezzlement by the dear founder's family stands out. As FN the LN has something of a family business, although young Renzi is not quite up to Marie. In any case some of the (financial) links of party members to the Kremlin are rather obvious, as in the case of the voting dog and pony shows in Crimea or the Donbas.

    It would not surprise me at all if not only members but also the party itself receives pecunia from Moscow which in that FN man's words doesn't stink despite it's origins. Berlusconi's Forza Italia is of course more dangerous.

    A lot of Putin's argument lately center around western liberalism which Russia equates with guy support.

    Behind a pay wall but otherwise a great article today in The Sunday Times about when Merkel decided Putin needs to be "contained" not appeased.

    And for a German leader like Merkel that means a heck of a lot in her thinking.

    It also means the SPD's Ostpolitik is totally now dead for good.

    Russia's links with the French far right get curiouser and curiouser. An ex-KGB agent lent Le Pen senior €2 million:

    EP security points to Farage group in 'Red Dalia' dispute.

    The distribution in the European Parliament of a controversial book accusing Lithuania's president Dalia Grybauskaite of having worked for Soviet Russia has been linked to the eurosceptic EFFD group led by British MEP Nigel Farage.

    Over 700 copies of the controversial book, which alleges that the president worked for Russia’s Soviet-era spy agency, were placed in MEPs’ pigeonholes.

    Following a complaint by Liberal Lithuanian MEP Antanas Guoga, and a separate intellectual property complaint by the book’s author, Ruta Janutiene, who said she never gave anyone permission to translate it, the EP’s directorate-general for security has concluded that “Red Dalia” was distributed on 10 December by EFDD secretariat member Kevin Ellul Bonici.

    The findings of the internal investigation were meant to be confidential, but were leaked to the media by Guoga.

    The letter from the security directorate, addressed to EP president Schulz, says Bonici on the day in question “invited two guests into parliament, one Russian citizen, and one Polish citizen who was born in Moscow”.

    As if on cue or is it a loan condition, as The Independent reports 'Paris attacks: Jean-Marie Le Pen says French terror attacks were work of Western intelligence':
    The shooting at Charlie Hebdo resembles a secret service operation but we have no proof of that....I don’t think it was organised by the French authorities but they permitted this crime to be committed. That, for the moment, is just a supposition.
