Russian Radical Right in Exile, 1918-1945

The book examines the development of the Russian radical right in exile between 1918 and 1945. The radical right, which represented one of the most prominent groups of Russian political exiles, both continued its pre-revolutionary activities and at the same time was inspired by new ideologies of the interwar period, primarily fascism.
