Argues that Russian nationalism presents a serious alternative to declining Soviet ideology and that the USSR may revert to authoritarian isolationism. Rejects the distinction made by U.S. Sovietologists between "good" Orthodox nationalists and "bad" atheist "National Bolsheviks". Russian nationalism has always been dominated by authoritarian trends tending to fascism. Traces the development of Slavophile ideology since the 19th century which, under German influence, became increasingly antisemitic. Cites a 1901 novel by Sergei Sharapov, where the Jews are the main enemies of a future Russian Empire. Surveys revived nationalism since the 1960s, including antisemitism (e.g. in the journal "Molodaya Gvardiya"). Describes the struggle between liberal and fascist tendencies in the journal "Veche", and antisemitic elements in Solzhenitsyn's works. His religious faith prevents Solzhenitsyn from uniting with an atheist regime against the Jews - a step taken only by G. Shimanov, leader of the Ultras or Russian fascists.,(From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
