National Bolshevism[a][b] is a neo-fascist tendency which upholds extremist nationalism, chauvinism, and imperialism while employing symbols and rhetoric originating from, and co-opting nostalgia for, former socialist states such as the Soviet Union.[1]

National Bolshevism has had multiple iterations throughout the decades beginning with the anti-Semitic figures Ernst Niekisch and Karl Otto Paetel in Germany during the early 20th century. Among the most popular National Bolshevik movements is that spawned from the National Bolshevik Party in 1993, which was co-founded and influenced by fascist author Aleksandr Dugin.
