I'm not sure they're on their way out, but nationalism in itself has surely been changing.
That said, if Russia leads Europe down a new path of political, financial and armed conflicts, like it seems to be set on doing, that could re-ignite a lot of nationalistic passion.
Politicians around Europe might also realize that the good old fashioned nationalism they've been moving away from in their love for EU actually serves a purpose in protecting their countries from separatist movements.
