The "International Russian Conservative" aka fascism Forum that was hosted by the Russian party ‘Rodina,’ a close ally of Putin's "United Russia," on 22 March 2015 in St.Petersburg gathered some of the Europe's and America's most marginal and extreme far-right, fascist, and neo-nazi figures. Cast your vote to identify who is the biggest lunatic among them (maximum three votes).
1. "Western Europe will either become an Islamist caliphate or there will be a terrible civil war or perhaps both. Which makes the survival of Christendom absolutely impossible without the rise of the Third Rome: Moscow.”
Nick Griffin, Holocaust denier, the expelled former leader of the anti-immigrant British National Party and a fervent defender of Neo-Nazis (examiner.com).
2. "The Europe of fatherlands shouldn't concern itself with problems of gays and lesbians."
Udo Voigt, member of the European parliament for German neo-nazi party NPD. In 2004, Voigt was charged with incitement to hatred for calling Adolf Hitler a "great man." In 2007, he faced additional charges for suggesting the name of Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2009, Voigt received a suspended prison sentence after being charged with inciting racial hatred and defamation for circulating racist pamphlets during the 2006 World Cup (examiner.com).

Jim Dowson, Ex-member of Britain First from Scotland, British anti-abortion-rights campaigner.

Roberto Fiore, leader of Italy’s far-right party Forza Nuova.
10. "Obama and America — they’re like females! They’re feminized men. You have been blessed by a man who is a man! And we envy that."
