Russian Fascist Organization (RFO) was the name adopted by aRussian émigré group active inManchuria beforeWorld War II.
The RFO was formed in 1925 by members of the law faculty atHarbin Normal University. Under the leadership ofN.I. Nikiforov, it looked toItalian fascism for inspiration and produced the 'Theses of Russian Fascism' in 1927.[1] The RFO smuggled some propaganda into theSoviet Union, although this was brought to the attention ofChina who banned the group from publishing such works.[2] In 1931 the RFO absorbed into the newly foundedRussian Fascist Party (RFP) under the leadership ofKonstantin Rodzaevsky.
