Moscow is quietly funding Europe's far-right parties to destabilize Europe.

 

It's surprising how popular the Russian nationalist Vladimir Putin is among far-right political parties in Europe. It must have something to do with the amount of Russian money that has been donated to far-right political parties to try and destabilize Europe.

Russian money helped to finance Marine Le Pen's presidential campaign in 2014. Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPO), are known to have received money from a Russian spin doctor in exchange for introducing certain proposals in the national parliament. The Russian FSB have cultivated ties with the far-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party and gave instructions to an AfD member of parliament to try and derail or delay deliveries of German battle tanks to the Ukraine.

In 2014, Nigel Farage who leads the populist right-wing Reform UK party, declared that Vladimir Putin was the world leader that he most admired.
