Abstract

Hungarian right-wing extremism has a young face. It originated in the youth scene of the 1980s. The Jobbik party, which stands at the centre of the extremist subculture, was founded by students. The most important tool for the dissemination of revisionist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Romani ideas is the Internet.
