The Russian Federation’s brutal attack on Ukraine in February 2022 caused a seismic shift in European and global politics. While much of the ongoing debate, discussion and policy activity since the outbreak of the war has focused on international relations and security issues, the multiple effects and implications of the war on the domestic politics of European countries have received much less attention. This workshop seeks to help fill this gap by focusing on the strategies, positions and discourses of Radical Right actors in Europe in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Through the case studies of several Radical right European parties, the presentations in this workshop will analyze the evolution of these political actor’s positions, discourses or electoral strategies on Russia, Ukraine and more globally on European security since the war. They will as well observe how has Russia’s war on Ukraine and its effects, including the refugee crisis and rising prices, affected the electoral prospects of the Radical right in various national context.
