Éléments

Initially serving as the internal bulletin of GRECE, an ethno-nationalist think tank led by Alain 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 by Pierre Vial in 1983, then by Jean-Claude Bardet [fr]. In 1991, Charles Champetier [fr], then aged 24, became the magazine's president.^[1]

In 2017 the web television TV Libertés started to broadcast Le Plus d'Élements, a talk show hosted by Olivier François in collaboration with Éléments.^[3][4]

Following the murder of Darya Dugina in August 2022, Éléments posted a tribute to Dugina which compared her to Salman Rushdie and also referred to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during his 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 the Front 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 aristocratic Nouvelle École", another magazine launched by GRECE in 1968.^[7]

There have been several editions of Éléments. The Russian version, Elementy, was launched by Aleksandr Dugin and published between 1992 and 2000.^[8] It also had Italian and German version, Elementi and Elemente, respectively.^[9]
