Background

Established in January 1951, [4] the magazine was started as a meeting point, for those who had collaborated with the Nazis or who had been active with the Vichy regime and had just freed from prison. [1] It was named for the counter-revolutionary writer Antoine de Rivarol. [4] Previous editor of the magazine was Marie France Wacquez. [5] In 1951 Rivarol bought the collaborationist magazine and "organ of resistance" against the Resistance, Écrits de Paris . It was a notable voice demanding amnesty for those targeted by the Épuration légale. It was founded in 1947 by René Malliavin  [ fr ]. Since then it been the monthly brother publication to Rivarol, sharing its editorial line.
