Despite his talk of the Jew-run Pravy Sektor of the Ukraine being “Nazis,” Putin has no qualms about standing with people who get called the same name in Western Europe.
I see no valid reason not to celebrate this development.
“You can see that the National Front is viewed very favorably in Russia,” says Ludovic de Danne, foreign affairs spokesman for radical-right French party. “We are more than tolerated, we are seen as a friend.”
He reels off a list of top Russian officials — headed by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, now under US sanctions for his role in the annexation of Crimea — who lined up to receive National Front leader Marine Le Pen when she visited Moscow last year.
“We have a balanced position. We don’t want to be part of any game that pulls us into a new Cold War with Russia,” de Danne said in a telephone interview from the European Parliament in Brussels. “Our independent stance is appreciated by those in power in Russia, that’s why we have good contacts with them.”
The National Front is just one of several radical right parties across Europe providing vocal support for Putin’s position in Ukraine, even as Western governments accuse the Russian leader of dragging the continent into its worst crisis since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
“Viva the referendum in Crimea! Viva the free choice of the people!” Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy’s Northern League told a conference last month as the vote in Ukraine’s southern province sealed Russia’s annexation. “They resisted the international dictates and didn’t let [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel or [US President Barack] Obama or [European Commission President Jose Manuel] Barroso choose for them.”

Many on Europe’s radical right admire Putin’s strongman image. Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, last week said Putin was the world leader he most admired. “Compared with the kids who run foreign policy in this country, I’ve more respect for him than our lot.”
Russian media have widely reported his comment that the EU has “blood on its hands” by meddling in Ukraine.
Although Farage has sought to distance his party from some far-right counterparts in continental Europe, UKIP shares their views on rolling back European integration, halting immigration and opposing gay marriage.
Putin’s line on such issues strikes a cord with many European rightists.
Last September, the Italian National Front plastered posters around Rome bearing the slogan “I’m with Putin” over a portrait of the Russian leader in military cap.
“Putin,” the party’s leader Adriano Tilgher posted on Facebook, “has said ‘no’ to the European Union… taken a courageous position against the gay lobby and the world financial centers who wanted a war in Syria.”
Putin’s United Russia Party sent a representative to a meeting of European nationalists last December in Turin, Italy, that was attended by Wilders, Salvini and Austrian Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache, among others. Addressing the conference, United Russia lawmaker Viktor Zubarev reportedly stressed shared ideas on the family, nation and role of religion.
Danne, who also attended the Turin talks, said the French National Front was eager to develop links to Putin’s United Russia “which is close to our ideas.”
