Arktos was founded in
India in 2009 by
Swedish businessman and former active neo-Nazi
Daniel Friberg and John B. Morgan, an
American editor. The company launched in 2010, then relocated to Sweden in 2014 and Hungary in 2015. Friberg had previously distributed
white power music and
Nazi paraphernalia before starting the company. His stated goal was to create a Swedish parallel to American
alt-right media. Friberg is the CEO, while
Gregory Lauder-Frost, formerly of the
Conservative Monday Club, leads the British division. American professor
Jason Jorjani became editor-in-chief in 2016, but later left that position when he began to distance himself from the
alt-right, though he has since then continued to release books with the publisher. Arktos was the world's largest distributor of far-right literature as of 2017, according to
The New Yorker. In 2019, Arktos was publishing more than 120 titles by 54 authors, including translations of the Russian ultra-nationalist
Alexander Dugin and the French far-right thinker
Alain de Benoist. ==See also==
