As the party identity of the far-right transforms, they shift from being marginal nationalist anti-migrant forces, contradicting the democratic culture of Germany, to movements which defend identity and rights, including women’s rights. Thus, the far-right in Germany claim to become a part of the civic culture that includes the right to criticize and disagree with the government’s policies. The article examines how far-right parties interact with the female electorate on the example of the Alternative for Germany party. The study highlights the main activities of the Alternative for Germany in attracting women’s votes, based on the analysis of the party’s political program, interviews with party members and media materials. These activities include the orientation towards the socio-economic issues, concerning women, the consideration of the migrant problem through the prism of the Muslim threat towards women, the protection of the interests of conservative women, the attraction of women as party leaders. The author pays a special attention to female right-wing activists, as independent actors in the political life of Germany. Based on the cases of Beate Zschäpe, Francisca Berit and #120db movement, the following interests of female activists were determined: opposing to gender mainstreaming, which threatens the traditional family structure, and opposing to Islam as a source of violence against women. Alternative for Germany aims at strengthening its positions among all women, whose rights are an integral part of European identity, therefore, the actualization of women’s involvement in the movement becomes not only instrumental, but also of value nature. More radically oriented female activists get involved in the European Identitarian movement.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Изменение политического ландшафта современной Германии проявилось в активизации праворадикальных организаций, ставшей результатом кризисных явлений начала XXI века. Можно говорить о том, что правые радикалы в своей партийной идентичности трансформируются: от маргинальных националистических антимигрантских сил, противоречащих демократической культуре Германии, до движений, выступающих в защиту идентичности и прав, в том числе женщин. Таким образом, правые радикалы Германии претендуют на то, чтобы стать частью гражданской культуры, включающей права на критику и несогласие с политикой властей. В статье на примере деятельности «Альтернативы для Германии» рассматривается проблема взаимодействия праворадикальных партий с женским электоратом. На основе анализа политической программы, интервью с представителями партии и материалов СМИ выделены основные направления деятельности «Альтернативы для Германии» по привлечению женских голосов. Среди них ориентация на социально-экономическую проблематику, волнующую женщин, рассмотрение мигрантской проблемы сквозь призму угрозы со стороны приезжающих мусульман по отношению к женщинам, защита интересов консервативно настроенных женщин, привлечение женщин в качестве главных лиц, отвечающих за повестку партии. Особое внимание уделено праворадикальным активисткам как самостоятельным акторам в политической жизни Германии. На примере кейсов Беаты Цшепе, Франциски Берит и кампании #120db были выделены основные интересы активисток: противостояние гендерному мейнстримингу, угрожающему традиционному семейному укладу, и противостояние исламу как источнику насилия по отношению к женщинам. Основные усилия «Альтернативы для Германии» направлены на укрепление своих позиций среди всех женщин, чьи права являются неотъемлемой частью европейской идентичности, следовательно актуализация вовлечения женщин в движение становится не только инструментальной, но и ценностной. Активистки, которые ориентированы более радикально, оказываются вовлеченными в европейское движение идентитаристов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>right-wing radicalism</kwd><kwd>gender</kwd><kwd>Alternative for Germany</kwd><kwd>identitarians</kwd><kwd>women’s activism</kwd><kwd>rights of women</kwd><kwd>civic culture</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>правый радикализм</kwd><kwd>гендер</kwd><kwd>Альтернатива для Германии</kwd><kwd>идентитаристы</kwd><kwd>женский активизм</kwd><kwd>женские права</kwd><kwd>гражданская культура</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено в рамках проекта РФФИ 21-011-31794 «Мобилизация vs самоорганизация: кросснациональный анализ факторов и векторов женского участия в политике».</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The reported study was funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) 21-011-31794 «Mobilization vs self-organization: cross-national analysis of factors and vectors of female participation in politics».</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Albertazzi, D., &amp; Mueller, S.
