ABSTRACT
On May 22, 2010, in a public display indicative of the increased activism of extremist groups in democratic Poland, about 200 supporters of National Radical Camp (NRC), an officially registered far-right party, marched through the streets of Lublin, a major city in eastern Poland. Participants in the march wore their trademark beige shirts and carried signs proclaiming their patriotism and desire to act on their version of it (e.g., “I’m Polish so I have Polish duties,” “Our streets, our buildings,” “We scream today, tomorrow we act”). 1 In an exception to the general pattern displayed in such marches, this time NRC supporters refrained from the Nazi salute.
