| Summary/Abstract |
The goal of this article is to analyse the political communication style of the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (Dvizheniye Protiv Nelegalnoy Immigrazii - DPNI), which is one of the central nodes in the Russian extreme-right movement web network. In the article, the political communication style of the organisation is investigated at two levels - the presentation of online identity and the presentation of offline identity. Online self-presentation is studied by means of the qualitative analysis of the incoming links (position in the web network) and the internal structure of the website. DPNI is conceptualised as a new type of political organisation based on the networking principle allowing flexible membership and based on the interplay of its online and offline self-presentations. The study provides insights into how the new media become embedded in the political communication of extreme-right political organisations in Russia.
