-== History ==
-Among the many radical nationalist movements of the 1990s in Russia is the far-right fascist People's National Party of Russia (PNP), founded in 1994 by Alexander Ivanov-Sukharevsky, a film director by training, and Alexei Shiropaev, inspired by fascism. Orthodoxy and Cossack movements and spread the ideology, which she called "Russian". This ideology was a combination of populism, racial and anti-Semitic mysticism, national environmentalism, Orthodoxy, and nostalgia for the Tsar. The party numbered only a few thousand members, but historically influenced the extra-parliamentary scene in Russia through the well-known newspapers I am Russian, Heritage of Ancestors and Era Rossii. The party soon ran into trouble with the law for inciting ethnic hatred, the Ya Russky newspaper was eventually banned in 1999 and Ivanov-Sukharevsky was sentenced to several months in prison, but after his release he remained an important figure in circles close to Russian writers for a long time. and continued his activities.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=Apq_AAAAQBAJ Marlène Laruelle «In the Name of the Nation»], Palgrave Macmillan, 2009, [[Спеціальна:Джерела книг/9780230101234|ISBN 978-0-230-10123-4]], 272 стор.{{in lang|en}}, с. 53</ref>

-== Main features and characteristics of Russian fascism ==
-Political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky argues that russicism is disguised as anti-fascism, but has a fascist face and essence.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-03-23 |title=Путин будет захватывать новые территории, чтобы проложить путь к Балканам - эксперты |url=https://tsn.ua/ru/svit/putin-budet-zahvatyvat-novye-territorii-chtoby-prolozhit-put-k-balkanam-eksperty-356507.html |access-date=2022-02-26 |website=ТСН.ua |language=ru}}</ref> Political scientist Ruslan Klyuchnik notes that the Russian elite considers itself entitled to build its own "sovereign democracy" without reference to Western standards, but taking into account Russia's traditions of state-building. Administrative resources in Russia are one of the means of preserving the democratic facade, which hides the mechanism of absolute manipulation of the will of citizens.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-09-05 |title=Західна аналітична група |url=http://zgroup.com.ua/article.php?articleid=5201 |access-date=2022-02-26 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905025244/http://zgroup.com.ua/article.php?articleid=5201 |archive-date=5 September 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
-Russian political scientist [[Andrey Piontkovsky]] argues that the ideology of Russian fascism is in many ways similar to German fascism ([[Nazism]]), while the speeches of President [[Vladimir Putin]] reflect similar ideas to those of [[Adolf Hitler]].<ref name=":0">{{Citation |title=Що переможе: здоровий глузд чи імперські амбіції?

-According to Alexander J. Motyl, an American historian and political scientist, Russian fascism has the following characteristics:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Війни творять нації, а народні війни творять непереможні нації. Олександр Мотиль — Локальна історія |url=https://localhistory.org.ua/texts/kolonki/viini-tvoriat-natsiyi-a-narodni-viini-tvoriat-neperemozhni-natsiyi/ |access-date=2022-03-14 |website=localhistory.org.ua |language=uk}}</ref>
-* undemocratic political system, different from both traditional authoritarianism and totalitarianism;
-* statism and hypernationalism;
-* hypermasculine cult of the supreme leader (emphasis on his courage, militancy and physical prowess);
-* general popular support for the regime and its leader.
-== Ideology of Russian fascism ==
-{{More citations needed section|date=April 2022}}
-According to Professor Oleksandr Kostenko,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.day.kiev.ua/uk/article/kultura/chomu-mi-stali-vorogami|author=Олександр КОСТЕНКО|title=Що таке "рашизм"?|publisher=Газета «День»|date=18 March 2014}} {{in lang|uk}}</ref> russicism is an ideology that is “based on illusions and justifies the admissibility of any arbitrariness for the sake of misinterpreted interests of Russian society. In foreign policy, racism manifests itself, in particular, in violation of the principles of international law, imposing its version of historical truth on the world solely in favor of Russia, abusing the right of veto in the [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]], and so on. In domestic politics, racism is a violation of human rights to freedom of thought, persecution of members of the "dissent movement", the use of the media to misinform their people, and so on." Oleksandr Kostenko also considers russicism a manifestation of [[Psychopathy|sociopathy]].
-One of the researchers of rashisn, Ukrainian historian [[Kyrylo Halushko]], describes rashism to have the following characteristics<ref>{{Citation |title=Рашизм має дуже глибоке історичне коріння - історик |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Av73pbc5-k |language=en |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref>:
-* inhuman cruelty
-* crimes against humanity
-* contempt for universal values
-According to Mr. Halushko, rashism also has deep roots in the history of Russia, in particular in the history of the Muscovia, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union; rashism, according to Halushko, has been most evident during Putin's rule in the last 20 years. However, according to the historian, racism is inherent in Russian culture, so historians and researchers are tracing the roots of rashism in the Russia's history and culture.<ref>{{Citation |title=Рашизм має дуже глибоке історичне коріння - історик |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Av73pbc5-k |language=en |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref>
-Another Ukrainian historian Vladlen Marayev, argues that [[Nazism]], fascism, [[Stalinism]] and Rashism are in fact the same. According to the historian, the most obvious common features are: the militarization of society, the cult of the war of aggression, the desire for constant "blitzkrieg", the inability to objectively analyze their own strength. The distinguishing feature of Rashism from Nazism and Fascism is the significant corruption and nepotism which are inherent in the current authoritarian regime in Russia.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Рашизм, або чому росіяни – нові нацисти |url=https://voxukraine.org/rashyzm-abo-chomu-rosiyany-novi-natsysty |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=voxukraine.org |language=uk}}</ref>
