Konstantin Rodzaevsky - World War II and Execution

World War II and Execution

During World War II, Rodzaevsky tried to launch an open struggle against Bolshevism, but Japanese authorities limited the RFP’s activities to acts of sabotage in the Soviet Union. A notorious anti-Semite, Rodzaevsky published numerous articles in the party newspapers Our way and The Nation; he was also the author of the brochure "Judas’ End" and the book "Contemporary Judaisation of the World or the Jewish Question in the XX Century".

At the end of the war, Rodzaevsky began to believe that the Soviet regime under Joseph Stalin was evolving into a nationalist one. He gave himself up to Soviet authorities in Kharbin in 1945, with a letter that shows striking similarities with the doctrines of National Bolshevism:

"I issued a call for an unknown leader, ... capable of overturning the Jewish government and creating a new Russia. I failed to see that, by the will of fate, of his own genius, and of millions of toilers, Comrade J V Stalin, the leader of the peoples, had become this unknown leader".

He returned to Russia, where he was promised freedom and a job in one of the Soviet newspapers. Instead, he was arrested (along with his fellow party Lev Okhotin), tried and sentenced to be shot; he was executed in a Lubyanka prison cellar.

In 2001 in Russia a book was published by K. Rodzaevsky Zaveshchanie russkogo fashista ("The Last Will of a Russian fascist").
