Abstract

"The far-right, who for several decades had praised Putin’s holy alliance of church and state and championed his brand of nationalism as a glorious and patriotic virtue, underwent what Joyce calls an ‘ideological switchback’ when Putin launched its invasion of Ukraine (that ominously coincided with the first day of the Conservative Political Action conference in late February)."
