The paper theoretically defines far right, extreme right and radical right. Afterwards, it embedds thought and practice of Dragos Kalajic in the context of various ideological streamings within the European far right 1971- 2024. This half-century period can be roughly divided into three subperiods: 1) from the first Kalajic?s books till multi-party system formation 1971-1989; 2) from multy party-system formation till Kalajic?s death 1989-2005; 3) after Kalajic?s death. The first one was determined by Kalajic?s adoption of Giulio Evola?s and the New Right ideas. The second one was related to Wars of Yugoslav succession, formation of the ?Serbian New Right?, consisted of Kalajic?s closest extreme right followers, extreme right Serbian National Renewal and its paramilitary unit White Eagles, and Kalajic?s orientation towards Russia and Alexander Dugin?s ideas. The third one was marked by posthumous ideological Kalajic?s influence on Serbian academic authors of radical right orientation. Ideology-critical approach reveals reasons behind the fact that an Evola?s epigon was enabled to publish three books at reputable publishers in former Yugoslavia, and has been highly respected among extreme rightists since the end of socialist Yugoslavia. By the same token, the paper explains why Dragos Kalajic has recently become a role model and symbol for the mainstream intellectuals who converted to radical right ideas
