Hypothesis: From the Tsar to the Soviet Union and to embracing capitalism, Russians have gone through every single ideology known to man, in recent years they have shown a strong receptiveness to embrace fascism, what is a nation to do when all else has failed them.
Failed Ideologies: Monarchy, Socialism, and some feel capitalism too
- the inequalities that existed during Tsarist Russia and the lack of freedoms due to Socialism in the Soviet Union have attributed to a failed state sense about the government in Russia, also capitalism in Russia has created very rich people and also very poor with virtually no middle class, people might think that capitalism has inevitably failed them as well. They feel they are faced with no choice but to try fascism, or National Socialism
Unification of former Soviet bloc states
- If the governments of former soviet countries to some extent eliminate borders and increase trade, then the people of those countries may come together and be united once again
- This would not be like the Soviet Union, no central economy; each country retains its own currency and language
- If the governments of these countries were more interconnected then the people would follow suit and become more accepting of the cultures present in those countries
Getting rid of the social roots that cause Xenophobia
- The government must attack the problem at its social roots
- They must improve the living standards of the people
- They must provide more education for youth and also provide employment opportunities
- An Educated Youth will be less susceptible to manipulation efforts by Neo Nazis
- the entire nation must go through a paradigm shift, regardless if they are Neo Nazi or not, most of the population share their views even if it is on a lesser extent
- Anti-fascist organizations only succeed in raising awareness, for a paradigm shift to occur the government must take action
- Imprisoning the culprits of racially motivated crimes is only a temporary solution
