Ultra-right movement in FRG and Bundestag election at 24 of September 2017

The purpose of this work is to analyze reasons of some rise of ultra-right movement in FRG that was shown by results of Bundestag election at 24 of September 2017. Program documents, speeches of far-right populist-conservative party "Alternative for Germany" (the party, which managed getting into the Bundestag on the third place with 12,6 % following such parties as CDU/CSU and SPD) leading figures, AfDKompakt paper contents were sources for preparing this work. Also this work relies on German press contents: Die Welt, die Zeit, Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Der Tagesspiegel and analytical papers in "Vierteljahrshefte fur Zeitgeschichte", "Blatter fur deutsche und internationale Politik", etc. Rightist conservative populist party "Alternative for Germany", which formed in April 2013 is the part of traditional German far-right movement represented by separate groups from right-wing populists such as islamophobic Pegida to extremist neofascist NDP. Radical and extremist views of right-wing traditionalists used to hinder their political success up to the present time, so there usually were only occasional representations in some of Landtags, city councils and communes. They could not practically come beyond the pale of non-system opposition. But then getting in to Bundestag "Alternative for Germany" succeeded being involved into political party system of FRG. Why did "Alternative for Germany" attain such success in a short period of time as getting into almost all of 16 Landtags during the 2013-2017 period and entering the Bundestag at 2017 election? The "old" right-wing groups were antagonizing due to their provocative extremist declarations and actions. More than once they were receiving attention of federal and territorial Offices for the protection of the Constitution. These parties and groups constantly experienced lack of financing and had no charismatic leaders. In terms of social and age composition there mainly were middle and lower classes people and radically-minded young men. Meanwhile founding figures of "Alternative for Germany" were people of upper-middle class, well-educated ones, who had experience of public activities in different conservative organizations standing for conservation of "traditional" values and prevention of "modernistic experiments" and against the "islamisation" of Germany. They managed to use others' fears for future, to accumulate right-wing groups' ideas and to arrange some "right shift" among middle class of society of Germany.
