Éléments (French pronunciation:[elemɑ̃]ⓘ) is a French bi-monthly magazine launched in September 1973 and associated with theNouvelle Droite. It is published by theethnonationalistthink tankGRECE.
Initially serving as the internal bulletin ofGRECE, an ethno-nationalist think tank led byAlain de Benoist, the magazine began its public circulation in September 1973 as the general public showcase of the organization.[1]: 180–181 [2]Michel Marmin became its first president, followed byPierre Vial in 1983, then byJean-Claude Bardet [fr]. In 1991,Charles Champetier [fr], then aged 24, became the magazine's president.[1]
In 2017 theweb televisionTV Libertés started to broadcastLe Plus d'Élements, a talk show hosted by Olivier François in collaboration withÉléments.[3][4]
Following themurder of Darya Dugina in August 2022,Éléments posted a tribute to Dugina which compared her toSalman Rushdie and also referred to Ukrainian presidentVolodymyr Zelenskyy, duringhis country's invasion by Russia, as a "clown in a khaki t-shirt" (French:le clown au tee-shirt kaki).[5][6]
In the early 1990s,Éléments had around 5,000 subscribers, mainly from the well-educated elites, along with an audience of university students. A 1993 poll revealed that 35 per cent of the magazine's subscribers were politically close to theFront National.[7]
According to scholar Tamir Bar-On, "Éléments generally appeals to GRECE's younger, more militant audience.Éléments might also be more populist and nationalist than the more aristocraticNouvelle École", another magazine launched by GRECE in 1968.[7]
There have been several editions ofÉléments. The Russian version,Elementy, was launched by Aleksandr Dugin and published between 1992 and 2000.[8] It also had Italian and German version,Elementi andElemente, respectively.[9]
