Kaur,

This conference appeared briefly within the main Ukraine thread and a week ago I posted this:

If the St. Petersburg conference relies on Nick Griffin they have a problem, at least here in the UK - although I doubt the main media will report it.

Nick Griffin was the leader of the British National Party (BNP) from 1999 to October 2014, when he was expelled and left to form an even smaller fringe group. To many he was a figure of derision:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin

Clearly no-one in the Russia government understands irony!

Apart from the very small fringe of democratic politics in Western Europe these people IMHO have no impact, although in places they can make conservative / nationalist parties wander what is going on behind them.

Whether they have any impact in Russia is a moot point. I expect those Russians who did attend like listening to like-minded folk.
