eng	The Continuity and Discontinuity in the Use of Violence by the Russian Far Right, 1900-1940.	The paper was focused on the practical use of violence by the Russian radical right and its legitimisation in pre-revolutionary Russia and the post-revolutionary exile. The far-right professed the conservative state ideology “Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality”; it was against parliamentarianism, liberalism, and socialism. Although rooted in conservative thought, the far right was radical in its populism, antisemitism and quest for mass appeal. The far-right parties sought to defend the existing order and resorted to violence, which they legitimised as self-defence against revolutionaries. After the 1917 revolution, various far-right figures went into exile and continued the struggle against the Bolshevik regime. This time, violence was legitimised as righteous revenge against the usurpers of the Russian homeland. The paper dealt with how the far right legitimised political violence. It points to the continuity in the use of violence, which was also related to the continuity of antisemitism. Politician Nikolai Je. Markov was presented as an example of such continuity. At the same time, however, it draws attention to shifts in the legitimisation of violence.	political violence; Russian emigration; Russian radical right; Union of the Russian people; Nikolai E. Markov
