New Resistance (Brazilian Portuguese: Nova Resistência) is a Brazilian revolutionary nationalist organization with an anti-liberal, anti-capitalist and traditionalist political orientation. The organization is considered pro-Russian and supportive of the views of Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin.[1]
Views
It opposes the governments of Brazil in the 2010s. In economic policy, NR defends distributism, an economic theory inspired by Catholic social doctrine and disseminated by authors such as Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953). Its main idea is the defense of small private properties – which should belong to families – in opposition to concentrated ownership. New Resistance initiated the 2023 Global Conference on Multipolarity, with speakers including NR Leader Raphael Machado, Aleksandr Dugin, Maram Susli, Zhang Weiwei, Jan Carnogursky, Iurie Roșca, Matt Robson, Pepe Escobar and Vice-Minister of Culture of Venezuela Sergio Arria, as well as video messages from Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.[2][3][4]
US Global Engagement Center
On October 19, 2023, the United States Department of State's Global Engagement Center issued a Special Report claiming that NR is a creation of the Russian government to promulgate disinformation in Brazil and that it held ties to Aleksandr Dugin's Eurasianist Movement. The report cited Nova Resistência hosting Russian "intellectuals" and "academics" who regularly offer "malign influence". The report cited members of the group meeting with representatives from Belarus, North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela, who openly expressed support for the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah. The State department concluded that Nova Resistência is a Russian creation to mobilize the Brazilian people to fight on the side of Russia and its proxies in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5][6]
