Popis: Countries like Romania, Hungary or Croatia are small and backward powers, but also main allies of Nazi Germany on the Eastern front during the Second World War, major contributors to the Jewish and other minorities extermination and important suppliers of raw materials to its effort of war. Sandu provides a comparison of their political Fascist movements and revolutionary regimes within a cultural history frame. He therefore draws on their converging ideologies and social practices, often in violent opposition to more traditional Far-Right Parties and political culture. His approach contributes to the generic definition of Fascism mainly inspired by the theories of Fascism as a “Palingenetic Populism” popularized by Roger Griffin and of “Political Religion” reinvigorated by Emilio Gentile.
