Russian fascism (also Russicism, Ruscism or Rashism (Russian: Рашизм, romanized: Rashizm, pronounced [raˈɕizm]; from "Russia, Russian", and Template:Lang-it — fascism, from which the ending is taken) is considered by many to be the political ideology and social practice of the ruling regime of Russian Federation in the 21st century. This interpretation is based on the ideas of the "special civilizational mission" of the Russians, Moscow as the third Rome, expansionism etc.

History

The term became widespread in informal circles in 2008, during Russo-Georgian War. The second wave of proliferation of the term occurred during the annexation of Ukrainian peninsula Crimea by the Russian Federation, the downing of a Boeing 777 near Donetsk on July 17, 2014, the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014.

It was first introduced by Herzen in his novel My Past and Thoughts (1868) in the form of "Russianism" to denote the extremist trend in Muscoviteism. The revival of the term is due to the President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria Dzhokhar Dudayev, who saw the main feature of Russianism in Russia's territorial expansion in the Caucasus, this line of perception was continued by Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov, for example.

Among the many radical nationalist movements of the 1990s in Russia is the far-right fascist People's National Party of Russia (PNP), founded in 1994 by Alexander Ivanov-Sukharevsky, a film director by training, and Alexei Shiropaev, inspired by fascism. Orthodoxy and Cossack movements and spread the ideology, which she called "Russian". This ideology was a combination of populism, racial and anti-Semitic mysticism, national environmentalism, Orthodoxy, and nostalgia for the Tsar. The party numbered only a few thousand members, but historically influenced the extra-parliamentary scene in Russia through the well-known newspapers I am Russian, Heritage of Ancestors and Era Rossii. The party soon ran into trouble with the law for inciting ethnic hatred, the Ya Russky newspaper was eventually banned in 1999 and Ivanov-Sukharevsky was sentenced to several months in prison, but after his release he remained an important figure in circles close to Russian writers for a long time. and continued his activities.

Alexander J. Motyl and Maria Snegovaya believe Russia as led by Putin is a fascist regime.

Ukraine

The term "rashism" is in common usage among military and political elites of Ukraine. For example, Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, advocates the use of the word "rashism" in the meaning of Russian/Putin's fascism, to describe Russia's aggression against Ukraine. He also stated that rashism is much worse than fascism.

"Today, I would like to appeal to all journalists to use the word 'rashism', because this is a new phenomenon in world history that Mr Putin has made with his country - modern rashists who are not much different from fascists. I will explain why: because before there was no such opportunity to destroy cities with so many air bombs, such equipment, there was no such force. Now absolutely other capacities and they use them as inhumans ", — Oleksii Danilov.

Main features and characteristics of Russian fascism

Political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky argues that russicism is disguised as anti-fascism, but has a fascist face and essence. Political scientist Ruslan Klyuchnik notes that the Russian elite considers itself entitled to build its own "sovereign democracy" without reference to Western standards, but taking into account Russia's traditions of state-building. Administrative resources in Russia are one of the means of preserving the democratic facade, which hides the mechanism of absolute manipulation of the will of citizens.

Russian political scientist Andrey Piontkovsky argues that the ideology of Russian fascism is in many ways similar to German fascism (Nazism), while the speeches of President Vladimir Putin reflect similar ideas to those of Adolf Hitler.

Ideology of Russian fascism

Characteristics

Professor Oleh Hryniv believes that russicism should be clearly distinguished from putinism, because russicism concerns the ideological justification of the adventurous policy of the current Russian dictator Putin — Moscow imperialism, which unites ideological rivals (party ideologues and chauvinists and chauvinists and anti-communist communists). territories of the former empire; Bolshevism can now be seen only as a form of racism. In turn, the clerical version of racism is trying to implement the Moscow Patriarch Kirill, as evidenced by his concept of "Russian world". At the heart of russicism is the rejection of Western civilization, which is opposed to a kind of Russian (Eurasian) civilization. Moscow intellectuals agree with autocrat Putin, who seeks to end the tsarist and Bolshevik Ukrainocide. Today, russicism is the ideological basis of putinism. History has confirmed that russicism primarily involves the destruction of Ukrainians as a national community.

Functions

According to Professor Oleksandr Kostenko, russicism is an ideology that is “based on illusions and justifies the admissibility of any arbitrariness for the sake of misinterpreted interests of Russian society. In foreign policy, racism manifests itself, in particular, in violation of the principles of international law, imposing its version of historical truth on the world solely in favor of Russia, abusing the right of veto in the UN Security Council, and so on. In domestic politics, racism is a violation of human rights to freedom of thought, persecution of members of the "dissent movement", the use of the media to misinform their people, and so on." Oleksandr Kostenko also considers russicism a manifestation of sociopathy.

According to Mykola Tomenko, "rashism" is a misanthropic ideology that does not differ significantly in content from fascism or stalinism. Russia, which initially fought for information and ideology, supports all methods (including military ones) around the world to destroy those who do not support the ideology of the "Russian world" and envisages the implementation of this ideology by any means.

Proponents of the ideology of russicism are usually called "russicists", sometimes "vatnik".

The psychology of russicists is the psychology of hostility, the notion that even in Russia there are foreigners everywhere. This psychology is possessed by people who are deeply offended by the imaginary or real humiliations to which the West has subjected them. But in times when "Russia is strong", the racists allegedly have the opportunity to take revenge.
