“…Apparaît une autre difficulté qui tient à la diversité des mouvements et idéologies dits de l'extrême droite ou s'en réclamant. En effet, que partagent les paganistes pan-européens de la Nouvelle droite (Bar-On, 2011;François, 2011;Nikolski, 2010), les néo-fascistes de Casapound (Bartlett, Birdwell et Froio, 2012;Castelli et Froio, 2014), les nationalistes du Vlaams Blok, du FPÖ ou du Front national (De Witte, 2006;Lafont, 2001;Moreau, 2004), les suprématistes du Ku Klux Klan et les chrétiens ultra-conservateurs américains (Arnold et Romanova, 2013;Blee et Creasap, 2010;Gross, Medvets et Russell, 2011;Schafer, Mullins et Box, 2014)? Les chercheurs s'entendent sur un fait : l'extrême droite se définirait d'abord en termes idéologiques plutôt que structurels ou processuels; elle se reconnaîtrait à ses idées et ses attitudes plus qu'à sa façon de s'organiser et qu'à ses stratégies ou à ses répertoires d'action.…”

À l’automne 2013, le Parti Québécois dépose un projet de « Charte des valeurs québécoises » (projet de loi n°60) qui veut laïciser l’État provincial, en interdisant notamment le port de signes religieux par les employés de l’État. S’ensuivent des débats âpres et parfois haineux autour du statut de la religion et de l’islam en particulier dans la société provinciale. Le présent texte propose une analyse thématique de dix pages Facebook en faveur du projet de loi. Il tente de déterminer la nature politique des arguments que ces pages développent, et pose la question de l’émergence d’une extrême droite au Québec en recourant aux concepts d’extrême droite et de droite radicale présentement débattus dans la littérature européenne. Il conclut que les arguments et les thèmes développés dans ces pages les rattachent à une mouvance de « droite radicale ».In fall 2013, the Parti Québécois proposed the Quebec Charter of Values (Bill 60), which aimed to secularize the provincial government, namely by prohibiting the wearing of religious symbols by public employees. Once tabled, the bill was subject to fierce and sometimes nasty debates about the status of religion, and in particular Islam, in Quebec. This text offers a thematic analysis of ten Facebook pages in support of the bill. It attempts to determine the political nature of the arguments that these pages present and examines the question of the emergence of an extreme right in Quebec by drawing from discussions of the extreme right and radical right in the current European research literature. The text concludes that the arguments and themes developed on these Facebook pages are indicative of a movement of the “radical right.

“…Moreover, prominent western and Russian racists have become increasingly friendly over the years, sometimes with official involvement. At an international racist convention in 2006, attended by former Louisiana state senator and leader of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke, Russia was designated as the ‘white world’s future’ and the ‘great hope’ of the white race (Arnold and Romanova, 2013). The conference concluded with exhortations to construct a new racially homogenous home in Russia, styled the ‘white Eurasia’ or ‘white Siberia’.…”

“…In 2006, an estimated half of the world’s racist skinheads lived in the Russian Federation (Tarasov, 2006: 19, cited in Shnirel’man, 2007: 186). That year, the UN special rapporteur for racism, Doudou Dienne, found that ‘Russian society is facing an alarming trend of racism and xenophobia, the most striking manifestations of which are the increasing number of racially motivated crimes and attacks’ (United Nations, 2007: 2) while no less prominent a racist than David Duke praised Russia as the ‘White World’s Future’ (Arnold and Romanova, 2013). More recently, the Russian Interior Ministry identified over 150 ‘extremist’ groups (Interfax, 2010), a number which omits non-affiliated adherents of the racist subculture.…”

Systematic racist violence in Russia between ‘hate crime’ and ‘ethnic conflict’

Racist violence in Russia has recently become a subject of interest to scholars and analysts of Russian politics. What are the similarities and differences between racist violence in Russia and the West? How does the level of Russian racist violence compare to other societies? Do racist hate groups in Russia have similar origins to groups in the West? This article considers these questions. I first demonstrate that Russia is indeed the most dangerous country in Europe for ethnic minorities, and argue that such violence is more 'systematic' (structured, ideologically coherent, patterned) than in other developed societies. The high level of violence against ethnic minorities in Russia is 'over-determined' by a combination of post-Soviet social and economic social changes, the brutalizing consequences of a long counter-insurgency campaign, and government passivity (and sometimes complicity) in the face of racist violence and hate speech. Thus, Russia's systematic racist violence is analytically closer to outright ethnic conflict than to a form of criminal deviance that could aptly be termed 'hate crime'.
