In the research Paper we investigate and clarify why the far right parties got so strong afterwards and what danger they eventually represent for the liberal democratic order that European society is based on. Questioning how the external dimension expressed in the Russian connections and their international networks in general, helps their empowerment in today’s international context of tension and fear, in which directions the far right of Europe looks for support and if these supports could make them stronger and influence the liberal order in Europe afterwards, what their nature and purpose is. Hence we structured our research around the question: How is the liberal order of Europe affected by Russia’s policies of supporting the far right political parties? Conducting this research around the question mentioned above it attempts to bring a new way of understanding these connections, to look at them from the perspective of a Western’s liberal order, how it could impact it, this way providing advanced knowledge on that in order to recognize the nature of Russian relationships with the far right of “Old” and “New” Europe
