Using the economic, political, and social issues of pre-Fascist Italy as a model, comparisons are then made with post-Soviet Russia. Significant similarities become apparent, allowing possible conclusions about the possibility of a Russian fascist party coming to power. Although there are two key differences between the political issues of pre-Fascist Italy and post-Soviet Russia, the influence these two factors may have on the possible rise of a fascist party in Russian politics is difficult to predict. 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 533 Photocopy. |bAnn Arbor, Mich. : |cUMI Dissertation Services, |d1999. |e23 cm. 590 Dissertations and Theses 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 651 0 Russia (Federation) |xHistory |y1991- 651 0 Italy |xHistory |y1914-1922. 650 0 Fascism |zItaly. 956 41 |u http://dc.ushmm.org/library/bib39930/1376145.pdf |z Hosted by USHMM. 994 E0 |bLHM 852 0 |bstacks |hDK510.76 .E38 1995 852 |bebook
