Black Hundred: The Rise of the Extreme Right in Russia

Politics & Social Sciences

Politics & Government

Harpercollins

Vladimir Zhirinovsky's "second Bolshevik revolution" in October 1993 shocked the world with the strength of the Russian Red-Brown alliance and the danger it poses to Russian democracy and world peace. In this book, Walter Laqueur, an expert on Russian and European history, provides a portrait of the leaders and tenets of the Russian extreme right and their attempts to win over public opinion at a time of grave domestic trouble. It is clear that Russia's long-term fate is far from settled, and this book introduces readers to a movement that may have a fateful impact on Russia in the years to come.
