Expo (magazine)

Expo is a Swedish anti-racist magazine started in 1995 and issued by the non-profit Expo Foundation (Stiftelsen Expo). The magazine, issued four times a year, contains investigative journalism focused on nationalist, racist, anti-democratic, anti-semitic, and far-right movements and organisations. The people responsible for Expo make no connections with specific organisations or political parties, but work together with individuals and organisations that share Expo's platform. The chairman of the Expo foundation is Charles Westin. The magazine is headquartered in .

The organisation has several parts. Expo Arkiv is an archive of far-right and anti-democratic events in Scandinavia. The archive is open to researchers, students, and individuals who need information. Expo Research is a research organisation whose members find and collect information on racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic organisations in Sweden and Europe. The information comes from informants, defectors, public files, authorities, independent researchers, and so on.

The people responsible for Expo closely co-operate with Monitor in Norway and Searchlight in the UK. They also exchange information with groups and magazines such as Antifa Infoblatt in Germany, Reflexes and CRIDA in France, Tun Balalaika in Russia, and Nigdy Wiecej in Poland, as well as Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights (IREHR) and Center for New Community (CNC) in the United States.

Expo became widely known in Sweden in June 1996 following a string of threats and attacks directed against companies printing and selling the magazine, and organisations supporting it. The words "Inget stöd till kommunist-Expo" (No support for communist Expo) were painted on the wall of the Moderate Party headquarters. In response, leading tabloid newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen printed and distributed the June 1996 issue as a free supplement, with a circulation of around 800,000 copies.
