Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this study is the analysis of Slovak non-parliamentary extreme right political subjects. It starts with the introduction and description of basic terminology (far right extremism, political radicalism) used in the text. The paper then introduces small radical right-wing political parties, civic groups, nonregistered groups, militant organisations and subcultures connected with the Slovak radical right. The study focuses on the period after the year 2000, nevertheless, radical right-wing groups active before 2000 are also briefly introduced. Main attention is paid to particular strategies and mobilisation issues of these groups to address the public, voters or supporters. Author concludes that prospects for the further development of the extreme rigt current in Slovakia are very limited because the scene is very fragmented and individual organisations are not able to cooperate with each other.
