This article investigates the phenomena of contemporary Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Central and Eastern Europe by tracing out the genealogy of far-right tradition from the time of ‘global socialism’. It precisely explores how Communist Bulgaria’s and Communist Poland’s rhetoric of internationalism and unity was instrumentally exploited to deploy eugenic policies against the Muslim and Jewish population, respectively. The article is organised into three parts. First, it discusses how socialist authorities reordered domestic heritage and cultural landscapes to enhance ruling ethnic majorities. Second, it shows how the reaction of the Bulgarian Communist Party and the Polish United Workers’ Party to the international turmoil in the Mediterranean region was strategically performed to scapegoat internal dissidents and ascribe them to Turkish nationalism or Zionism. Third, it postulates how such an instrumentalisation became the Party’s ideological commodity during the decolonisation age, in turn provoking a decoupling from the Global South even before 1989. As a result, this investigation shows how extreme far-right cultures have penetrated the postsocialist predicament and continue to operate culturally by dismissing otherness from the Polish and Bulgarian national identity.

Widening “Ground-Up” Nationalism: Some Reflections on Religion and Gender in the Republic of Moldova

This article argues that although the study of nationalism and nation-building in the post-Soviet Republic of Moldova has included many ground-up perspectives on ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and memory-related aspects of national identity, the themes of religion and gender continue to be neglected. Over the past decade, attention to religion has been increasing—not least because of concern that the growing presence of Orthodoxy in the public sphere might endanger the state’s commitments to civic and human rights—yet what is still lacking is a considered discussion of religion and nationalism. The author considers how the 2017 Soros-published report on Church and State in the Republic of Moldova may spur us to better conceptualize the dynamics of religion and gender with respect to nationalism from the ground up.
