Posted by Matt in March 26th, 2008

In his articles Is Putin’s Russia fascist? published on the site of The National Interest Online on December 3, 2007 and Surviving Russia’s drift to fascism published in the Kyiv Post, January 17, 2008, Professor Alexander Motyl of Rutgers University seems to argue that Putin’s Russia can be classified as a fascist state.
