Finally online! The article I have been most excited about, coauthored with Audrey Gagnon, on the benefits and challenges of researching the far right as a woman.

What I also found is that paradoxically, the war failed to become a mobilizing factor for the far right. As the mainstream increasingly became anti-Russian, the far right lost its niche, as its other ideas were not shared by other parties and society.

What I find is that the movement has lacked access to formal politics over the years, mostly mobilizing on the streets. It has also been mostly peaceful.

Contrary to Russian propaganda, the far right is far from having a direct influence on political processes in Ukraine. Contrary to Western media hype, it is also far from being a transnational far-right tourist hotspot.

Finally online! This was a challenging paper to write, as the far right in 🇺🇦 has been so politicized by Russia. But for this same reason, it is maybe also the most important paper I have written, studying the actual movement to counter misconceptions around it:
