Managed Nationalism (en.wikipedia.org)

“Managed nationalism” is a term used by some academics to describe an alleged Russian government strategy under Vladimir Putin of selectively cooperating with far-right nationalist and neo-Nazi groups to bolster state influence at home and abroad. The article traces how such collaboration intensified after events like Ukraine’s Orange Revolution and later Euromaidan, and how crackdowns sometimes followed major violence. It links the approach to Russia’s broader efforts to cultivate and support far-right politics in other countries while using groups to counter opposition movements.
