Right-wing extremists could undermine the current democratization drive in Moscowby Andreas UmlandFebruary 11, 2012Repeating a recurring feature in Russia’s recent history, Moscow’s December 2011 protests have seen a new alliance between Russian democrats and ultra-nationalists. In spite of their dubious reputation, the latter were permitted by the meeting organizers not only to take part in the demonstrations; a number of well-known radically nationalist politicians—most prominent among them the notorious writer Eduard Limonov—were also allowed to give speeches to the protesters. The justification for this was that the protest movement is politically open and democratically oriented. Excluding one camp or another, such goes the argument, would be in contradiction to the inclusive spirit of this all-national movement. As the ultra-nationalists were swelling the ranks of the anti-Putin demonstrations, they were permitted to join in—as were all other groups that are against Russia’s current regime, whether from the left or right. The protest movement so-far has been defined less by what it stands for than by what it is against.One wonders, however, how far the democratism of the right-wing extremists goes, and how they would behave in case they were to achieve power. To be sure, even such radical nationalists as Vladlen Kralin (a. k. a. Vladimir Tor) and Ilya Lazarenko were, in their speeches during the protests, speaking out in favor of political liberalization as well as free and fair elections. However appropriate these statements may have been as such, the ultra-nationalists’ deeper beliefs and political past suggest that what they may prefer instead of Putin’s authoritarianism is not a liberal democracy. Rather, one suspects, they have in mind an illiberal ethnocratic, if not an eventually autocratic regime to be headed by somebody who would be even more.

Prior to the early 19th century, there were no nation states and the very concept arose in the French revolution at the earliest (when it was used as the nation in opposition to the monarch ) modern nationalism in the ethnic or even racial sense it is understood today is a result of early romanticism and the fight against Napoleon (he was worth fighting against, but not for those reasons). In 1870 a person from Straßburg had difficulty understanding a person from Posen (because they would most likely speak French or Polish, respectively) and a person from Vienna had more in common with a person in Munich than one in Munich with one in Hamburg. Still the German nation state came into being in 1871 claiming to somehow always have existed. This is of course complete and utter bunk. Nation states are without exceptions recent inventions and their very existence had to be achieved by force. This is one of the reasons why they are doing so much harm, especially in countries where it is an imported concept. Be it the ultra-nationalist military dictatorships of Latin America or the countries in Africa torn apart by ethnic strife as the ruling elite thinks along ethnic lines. And Asian nationalism is not much better for that matter as we can see with East-Timor or the situation of the Koreans in Japan. In short, not only is nationalism bunk and.
