随着唐纳德·特朗普政府向俄罗斯低头，“美国优先”运动中顶尖的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）影响者们以令人不安的方式投身于亲俄情绪之中，他们越来越紧密地与那些实际上处于弗拉基米尔·普京掌控之下的领导人和国家结盟。而在塞尔维亚新近宣布的一场会议便是典型例证。
As Donald Trump’s administration bows to Russia disturbing ways top MAGA influencers in the “America First” movement are getting in on the Russophilia by increasingly wedding themselves to leaders and nations that are effectively under Vladimir Putin’s thumb. And a newly announced conference in Serbia is a prime example.
周一，保守派政治行动会议（CPAC）透露计划于11月在贝尔格莱德举办会议。近期在海外举办的其他CPAC会议实际上已沦为威权主义的助威集会，而塞尔维亚的这次聚会似乎也将不例外。CPAC正大力宣传塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇将出席，后者因对俄罗斯强人俯首帖耳而获得“小普京”的绰号。
On Monday, the Conservative Political Action Conference revealed plans to hold a convention in Belgrade in November. Other recent CPAC conventions abroad have effectively served as authoritarian pep rallies and the Serbia gathering seems like it will be no different. CPAC is touting an appearance by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who has earned the moniker“Little Putin” for his deference to the Russian strongman.

塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇将为我们在东南欧举办的首场会议担任主讲嘉宾，汇聚来自该地区的保守派领袖，团结在主权、信仰、家庭、自由……2026年10月19日 值得注意的是，此次会议的宣布正值媒体报道之际，包括MS NOW的大卫·罗德关于特朗普前竞选官员为亲普京的塞尔维亚民族主义者游说的报道。
President Aleksandar Vučić will headline our first-ever conference in Southeastern Europe, bringing together conservative leaders from across the region united around sovereignty, faith, family, free…October 19, 2026 It’s notable that this convention was announced amid reporting, including from MS NOW’s David Rohde about former Trump campaign officials’ advocacy on behalf of pro-Putin Serbian nationalists.
武契奇可与特朗普相提并论，因为他被一些人视为普京的傀儡，曾反对对俄制裁，并实际上协助克里姆林宫破坏欧盟稳定。而且，像特朗普一样，他也是一个日益走向非自由化政党的旗手，该党曾试图操纵选举制度以利于自身。鉴于这一切，MAGA阵营崇拜塞尔维亚现任领导层也就不足为奇了：这是一个广泛迷恋威权主义的运动。但值得注意的是，正如对待俄罗斯一样，即使是一些保守派也对塞尔维亚的反民主倒退持警惕态度。
Vučić is comparable to Trump in that he is viewed by some as a Putin stooge who has opposed sanctions on Russia and effectively aided the Kremlin’s efforts to destabilize the European Union And, like Trump, he has been the standard-bearer for an increasingly illiberal political party, one that has sought to manipulate electoral systems in its favor Given all of this, it’s no wonder why MAGA world adores Serbia’s current leadership: This is a movement broadly infatuated with authoritarianism But it’s noteworthy that, much like with Russia, even some conservatives are wary of Serbia’s antidemocratic backsliding.
在塞尔维亚本周末举行议会选举之际，一个由七名参议员组成的两党小组——其中包括来自爱荷华州、密西西比州和北卡罗来纳州的共和党人——就武契奇的政党发出了警告。
Ahead of Serbia’s parliamentary elections this weekend, a bipartisan group of seven senators — including Republicans from Iowa, Mississippi and North Carolina — issued a warning about Vučić’s party.
“遗憾的是，塞尔维亚和国际选举观察员均发现，2022年上届议会选举的诚信存在严重侵犯。我们现在在10月25日投票前看到了类似的令人不安的迹象，”参议员们在一份声明中说。“关于非法窃听反对派成员以及试图诋毁和破坏选举观察团的报道令人深感忧虑，塞尔维亚当局必须确保所有政党在一个公平的竞争环境中角逐，并保障所有公民公平进入投票站。”
“Unfortunately, both Serbian and international election observers found serious infringements to the integrity of the previous parliamentary elections in 2022. We are now seeing similarly troubling signs ahead of the October 25 vote,” the senators said in a statement“Reports of unlawful wiretapping of opposition members and attempts to discredit and undermine election observation missions are deeply concerning, and Serbian authorities must ensure a level playing field for all parties and open access to the polls for all citizens.”
共和党将CPAC带到塞尔维亚，随着该党向普京低头，这凸显了“让美国再次伟大”运动对民主的广泛蔑视，其最著名的活动家团体之一公开选择与这样一个政党结盟。这也说明了一个似乎更痴迷于在国外扩大影响力，而非解决其亲爱的领袖在美国国内给美国人制造的诸多危机的运动。 MS NOW
It’s telling of the MAGA movement’s broad disdain for democracy that one of its most prominent activist groups is openly choosing to associate with such a party. And it speaks to a movement that seems more obsessed with expanding its influence in foreign lands than addressing the numerous crises their dear leader has created for Americans at home The post Republicans are taking CPAC to Serbia as the party bows to Putin MS NOW
