There are also those who personally rendered services to Putin by acting as “election observers” in various sham elections taking place in Russia or Russian-controlled territories of Ukraine. And then there is Frédéric Boccaletti who combines pro-Putinism — he was an observer for Russia’s parliamentary election in 2021 — with a history of anti-Semitism. Indeed, in the late 1990s he was the owner of a bookshop specializing in anti-Semitic and Holocaust denying works.  French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has gone to extraordinary lengths to rid her National Rally party of its historical reputation for racism and xenophobia. | Francois…
