XENOPHOBIA AND RIGHT-EXTREMISM ISSUES IN THE MODERN EUROPE

The article considers peculiarities of right-extremism and its threat to the modern Europe. Xenophobia and migrantophoby, along with discrepant policies of ruling parties, often lead to extremism and violence. The ultra-right extremism is also closely linked to migrantophoby and racial hatred. These are not new phenomena but can be traced back through history, including Germany, France and Austria. Umberto Eco’s features of Eternal Fascism are also perfect for characterizing “European New Order” and modern ultras. Far-right activity in Germany and Austria is mainly analyzed. Finally, the author touchs upon the issue of Euroscepticism and Brexit.
