Abstract

The far right political parties in Germany have always attracted much attention of researchers because of the history of this country and its fascist part. Taking into consideration the overall radicalization of electoral preferences in Europe, the number of scientific publications has growing even more. Therefore it is important for Ukrainian political science to become a part of this discourse and to pay due attention to research of this issue. While the most famous far National Democratic Party of Germany is being studied, the Republikaner party is absent in scholarly publications. Thus, it is important to understand the main reasons for its establishment, the peculiarities of its ideological principles, electoral successes and failures, as well as prospects for future development.
