  2. Richard Spencer, the current face of US’s alt-right, believes Russia is the “sole white power in the world.” David Duke, meanwhile, believes Russia holds the “key to white survival.” And as Matthew Heimbach, former head of the white nationalist Traditionalist Worker Party said, Putin is the “leader of the free world”—one who has helped morph Russia into an “axis for nationalists.” In March of 2018, Heimbach had himself a spectacular fall.  He was arrested in his trailer after — in a twist as ludicrous as any over the past few years — having an affair with his mother-in-law, and battering his father-in-law when the latter found out. It was a bizarre ending for a man ThinkProgress had dubbed the “most important white supremacist” of 2016. 😂😆 Moscow’s appeal to the American far-right is, in a sense, understandable, if no less worrying. The links between Russia and America’s white nationalists and domestic secessionists have both expanded and deepened over the past few years. Moscow has been busily cultivating relationships with radical right-wingers in Europe. links between Moscow and America’s white supremacy movement are far deeper than approving rhetoric. Richard Spencer, for instance, who has said that he “admires” Putin and who has called to break up NATO, also helped organize a 2014 conference in Hungary that was slated to feature, of all people, Alexander Dugin. A political philosopher, Dugin is both a Kremlin confidant and the progenitor of modern “Eurasianism,” which places Russia as the center of global anti-liberalism. But in reality, its a geopolitical theory that is little more than soft cover for Russian imperialism. However Spencer remains married to one of Dugin’s English translators, Nina Kouprianova. Originally from the Soviet Union, Kouprianova — writing under the name “Nina Byzantina” — had whitewashed Putin’s regime at every turn, appearing on Russian propaganda networks as an “independent scholar." David Duke sees Russia as a country that “presents an opportunity to help protect the longevity of the white race,” according to the Anti-Defamation League. And a few years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center detailed Duke’s close personal ties with another American neo-Nazi, Preston Wiginton, who has made Moscow his adopted home.. In 2016, the Kremlin helped finance a secessionist conference in Moscow, bringing together contingents from Ireland, Spain, and Italy—as well as those from Texas, Puerto Rico, and California. The head of the main group pushing California secession, Louis Marinelli, not only lives in Russia, but opened an “Embassy of the Independent Republic of California” in Moscow. As Marinelli told a Russian interviewer, “In Russia, we have partners who are ready to support us in our aspiration.”
