The Russian Fascist Organization (RFO) ( Russian Всеросси́йская фаши́стская организа́ция (ВФО) ) was a Russian emigrant organization that was active in Manchuria during the interwar period .

The RFO was founded in 1925 by members of the Harbin University Law School . Its first chairman, Nikolai Nikiforow, took Italian fascism as a model and adapted its content to his ideal of Russian fascism. The RFO began to smuggle propaganda material into the Soviet Union, but this was discovered by Chinese authorities and apparently prevented. In 1931 the RFO became part of the Russian Fascist Party (RFP) under its party leader Konstantin Wladimirowitsch Rodsajewski .

The All-Russian Fascist Organization (VFO) founded by Anastassi Wonsjazki on May 13, 1933 in Putnam , Connecticut , continued to exist as an independent sub-organization of the RFO until 1942.

In 1934 the Russian Fascist Party in Yokohama tried to persuade the All-Russian Fascist Organization to join the All-Russian Fascist Party (VFP) founded by Russian exiles, which was finally decided on April 26, 1934 in Harbin. The formal merger was particularly problematic for Wonsjazki. He was an opponent of anti-Semitism and, following the Italian model, supported rather the monarchy and also the Cossacks , who were viewed as enemies by the RFP.

Between 1940 and 1941, the Wonsjazki and Rodsajewski cooperated more closely. However, with the arrest of Anastassi Wonsjazki by the FBI and the entry into the war by the USA in 1942, the VFO ceased to exist.
