Este putinismul un nou fascism?
Is Putinism a new fascism?

Summary/Abstract: The question has long been asked whether there is an ideology called „Putinism” and whether it can be assimilated to fascism. The premise of this article is that Putinism exists, it is an ideology in formation, „thin centered”, like populism. The article presents the dispute between „eternal fascism” and „the defascination of fascism”, as well as the most important positions of some authors in the field regarding the possibility of equating Putinism with fascism. The article concludes that Putinism is a new phenomenon, an ideological DIY specific to Russia today, the result of the symbiosis between nationalism, fascism and ideas specific to the far left, to which is added a form of messianism that transcends political regimes and ideologies in Russia. Putinism has not reached the stage of ideology but is manifested by extreme violence (the war in Ukraine), a sign of political radicalism.
