Russian Ultra-Nationalists Who Wage War on Putin: Analysis of the Russian Volunteer Corps' Doctrine (legrandcontinent.eu)

• RVC published a political doctrine on January 26, 2026, outlining their vision for a post-Putin Russia.
• The doctrine criticizes Putin's destruction of national identity, migration policies, and international isolation.
• Analysis shows similarities with fascism and Putinism, both relying on vague concepts and semantic voids.

"The Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), a paramilitary ultra-nationalist group fighting alongside Ukraine, published a political doctrine on January 26, 2026. Historian Marina Simakova analyzes the document, comparing it to fascism and Putinism. The RVC rejects Putin's imperialist regime, advocates for a Russian nation-state, and claims to defend traditional European values. However, the doctrine shares structural similarities with Kremlin propaganda, relying on vague 'semantic voids' rather than coherent ideology. The RVC aims to overthrow Putin and establish a new order, but remains marginal compared to pro-Kremlin groups."
