This article presents the results of research conducted as part of a project of the Czech Ministry of Interior. Its main objective was to explore the risk level of right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic. One of the project's phases was a survey (n = 2056, population of people older than 15 years, probabilistic sampling). Through face-to-face interviews, we discovered that 2.5 % of inhabitants in the Czech Republic go along with the ideas of the ultra-right wing and are also willing to support radical political parties in elections. The percentage of people who support ideas typical for right-wing extremism and moreover are willing to publically support political parties which offer radical solutions (through participation in right-wing demonstrations, or by helping with the organization of their events) reaches 6 %. Our research shows that the main risk (from the point of view of the combat against right-wing extremism) represents the latter group. The research also reveals that the sources of extremism are multiple and that this phenomenon encompasses macro-social as well as micro-social issues. From the macro-social point of view, it is possible to point to influences like unemployment, the level of education, the atmosphere in the society, the individual's ability to integrate and reach his/her goals etc. In the micro-sociological frame of the reference, it was found that extremism is influenced, for example, by satisfaction with family relationships, ability for self-realization, material provision, and the extent of personal experience with minorities and foreigners. Some psychological and socio-psychological factors apply as well (e.g. temperament, stereotypes and prejudices).

Right-wing extremist groups in almost every Western European country became aware of the concept of no-go-areas over the course of the 1980s and 1990s, and some of them even applied this concept over a short period. This study looks at the manifestations of this concept in Germany, where politics and society are still confronted with the legacy of Nazism. The author sets out to examine whether no-go-areas actually exist in Germany, and if they do, to look at how life in them is organised, how they are accepted by majority society, and how these activities are supported (or initiated) by the NPD, a German right-wing extremist party. In the region of former East Germany in particular there has been an increase in support for neo-Nazism as an extreme reaction to the deteriorating economic and social situation. Studies have shown that in this region more and more citizens are sinking into the 'modernisation trap', and as a result right-wing extremism and neo-Nazism are gaining more and more ground. One way in which the extreme right-wing NPD and related or subordinate 'friendly' organisations want to 'control the streets', and thereby also the public, is through the establishment of 'no-go-areas', which are areas dominated by neo-Nazis. The objective is to create a zone for neo-Nazi sympathisers, chase out foreigners and co-citizens who do not share extremist views, and work towards achieving the ultimate goal: destroying democracy and establishing the 'Fourth Reich'

Results of a representative sociological survey of the Slovak public‘s openness to the ideas of right-wing extrémism in 2012 confirm the initial hypothesis of the growing tolerance towards extrémist activities and even their active encouragement. In Slovakia, 4 % of the population, a segment that shares extréme right-wing ideas, has expressed their willingness to support those political parties that offer radical solutions in the elections. At the same time, 7% of the population that hold views typical of the right-wing extrémism are willing to support the extrémist parties through active participation in public meetings. By contrast, in the Czech Republic, the risk group constitutes only 8 % of the population (2 % - potential voters, 6 % - participants in events). The highest incidence of right-wing extrémism has been observed in the youngest population stratum aged under 29, which manifests the greatest readiness to support extrémism both in the elections and through active participation in meetings up to the use of force in handling potential problems with troublesome groups (13 %) both in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia.
