Help Support CEP’s Monitoring Of Right-Wing Extremism In Central And Eastern Europe |
This year, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) used comprehensive research and actionable reports in an effort to monitor the growing spectre of right-wing extremism in all regions East of Berlin. In doing so, CEP has taken on the crucial task of investigating and understanding the trends emanating from this region and synthesizing them for policymakers, community leaders, and educators to effectively implement counter-extremism measures. This builds on a long-standing body of work of CEP, such as an analysis of paramilitary training infrastructure in Central and Eastern Europe as well as various reports highlighting the phenomenon of Foreign Fighters in Ukraine, which details the transnational social movement of volunteering for Ukraine, including those physically fighting on the frontlines. |
The extremist Russian biker gang, the “Night Wolves” On the opposite side of the war, CEP examined and produced new research on Russian right-wing extremist actors. These in-depth reports included an examination of the Night Wolves, AKA Putin’s Angels, an extremist biker gang from Russia, including their areas of reach and ideologies. Additionally, through its long-standing partnership with the non-partisan think tank GLOBSEC, CEP mapped out right-wing extremist networks in Central and Eastern Europe and hosted multiple webinars this year centered around right-wing extremist groups and networks in that region that reject globalization and “western” values. Your donations are crucial in maintaining this level of consistent and high-quality research on this topic. We look forward to continuing to grow and improve our research capabilities with the help of your critical support. |
