Francuska skrajna prawica i Rosja Putina: niedawny i zaskakujący romans

The French far-right organization and its leader, Marine Le Pen, have been engaged in a strategy designed to presume power and take over the presidency after Emmanuel Macron. To do this, the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen rebranded the party, renewed her squad and promoted fresh and young faces. But did it change its posture on abroad policy? What is present the place of Russia in the political agenda of the National Rally?

It has been more than a decade since French far-right political movements developed a real fascination with Russia and a vocal admiration for its leader, Vladimir Putin. Considering the long and complex past of the clubs, parties, sects, journals and political groups of this political trend, this love affair is rather recent. And it is far from natural.
