Imagined common enemies Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service dreams of an alliance with Washington against ‘Eurofascism’
On April 16, 2025, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service issued a head-turning press release warning that “Eurofascism” has returned and again become “the common enemy of Moscow and Washington.” The text appeared on the agency’s official website with a Soviet-era propaganda poster (see below) edited to depict European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as Adolf Hitler. Below, Meduza summarizes the Foreign Intelligence Service’s bizarre proclamation. Do not read this text if you want to keep your sanity.
Europe has always had a soft spot for totalitarianism. France has repeatedly hosted dictatorial, infamously brutal regimes, such as the Jacobins or Napoleon. To its credit, America remains free because it stands up to dictatorships, whether it’s the British Crown or the Jacobin Revolution. The French writer Pierre Drieu coined the term “Eurofascism” and argued that it reflected a pan-European impulse, not just a German one. Also, fun fact: he was a Nazi collaborator. And let’s not forget that France even had its own SS division.
Conservatives in the United States know that crimes against humanity run in the blood of the British elite, and today’s British “liberal imperialism” is more destructive than fascism. There are well-known close ties between the British aristocracy and the Nazis. Churchill once visited fascist Italy. And in 1946, he dragged the U.S. and Europe into the Cold War. Meanwhile, the British were flooding the world with covert propaganda and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in Africa, the Middle East, and Indonesia. Even Western experts admit it. It’s no wonder that London now plays a leading role in prolonging the West’s war in Ukraine.
As Washington drifts from Brussels, it’s again finding itself inching closer to Moscow, not for the first time. They’ve been partners before in opposing Paris and London, such as during the Suez Crisis or the Crimean War. Some foreign analysts are hopeful that Russia and the U.S. might once again join forces — this time to avert a broader global conflict and push back against the provocations of Ukraine and the deranged Europeans, spurred on by Britain.
