Life
Originally from Vienna, Markovics first came into contact with fraternity members in high school , studied history at the University of Vienna and describes himself as a patriotic activist and journalist. He ran in 2010 in Vienna-Landstrasse for the FPÖ at the district level.
Markovics co-founded the Identitarian Movement Austria in 2012 and was its chairman between 2013 and 2015. This sees itself as the last generation that can save the West from destruction. Afterwards he was head of the theory group of the Identitarian Movement in Austria and until 2017 also editor-in-chief of a blog for the Identitarian Movement.
Markovics was active as a journalist by conducting interviews with numerous identities or leading persons from the FPÖ and later FPÖ ministers, who, along with the FPÖ's advertisements, were distributed in identity printed works or were printed in media related to the FPÖ. Markovics is also the author of numerous articles and contributions to geo- and metapolitics, u. a. he has published in Arcadi , Info-DIREKT , Der Eckart and on the Secession website . Markovics caused a sensation with a live appearance in the ORF magazine Bürgerforum on November 25, 2015. Markovics' appearance led to an Austria-wide controversy about the station's invitation policy.
In 2018, Markovics received an award from Russian President Vladimir Putin for his commitment to the 19th World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi 2017.
At the beginning of 2019, Markovics became general secretary and press spokesman for the Vienna-based Suvorov Institute, Society for the Promotion of the Austro-Russian Dialogue. The institute is accused of offering right-wing extremists a stage. It has a nationalist, anti-liberal and anti-Western agenda.
Markovics is a member of the Vienna Academic Fraternity Olympia , which is also assigned to right-wing extremism and which also includes numerous leading FPÖ politicians.
