European Far-Right Groups Back Putin at Russia Forum
Representatives of about a dozen far-right groups from across Europe gathered in Russia Sunday for a pro-Kremlin conference as concern grows over Moscow's alleged attempts to court extremists on the continent. About 150 members of Russian nationalist and right-wing European parties - including Greece's Golden Dawn and Germany's National Democratic Party - met in Russia's second city Saint Petersburg to berate the West for its stance on the Ukraine conflict and to promote "traditional values". Far-rights groups across Europe have become vocal supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin over his handling of the Ukraine crisis, prompting allegations they have reached a Faustian pact to help burnish the Kremlin's battered image.
