Alexander Dugin, a Russian intellectual, is considered Putin’s “brain.” His influence on Russian president is huge, although it has been a leading figure in both the European “new Right” and the “alt-right” in the United States.
It belongs to the political thinkers who invent a dynamic and glorious past, to interpret the failures of the present.
As the tragedy in Ukraine continues, it is good to understand his ideas, as they have been embraced by the Russian regime for the last 20 years and today have led us to the brink of yet another global conflict. Dugin, a child of the late decline of the Soviet Union, belongs to the political thinkers who invent a dynamic and glorious past, full of mysticism, in order to interpret the failures of the present. They argue that the future requires the recovery of this past from the liberal, commercial, and cosmopolitan present. This is exactly what Dugin stands for. His 1997 book, The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia, outlines what we see today: Russian agents, he says, must reinforce any divisive tendencies in the United States by supporting separatists in Britain; , the historical gap with mainland Europe must be widened and the separatist movements must be strengthened. Western Europe must “embrace” Russia, baiting its natural resources. NATO will be disbanded from within, he points out.
Putin literally followed Dugin’s road map. After finishing with the USA and Europe, he proceeded with his visa for Russia. “Ukraine is an independent state with territorial ambitions, which poses a major threat to Eurasia. “Without a solution to this problem, there is no point in discussing European policy,” said Dugin. of. As Britain disintegrates, Moscow piles up debris until the Eurasian Empire stretches “from Dublin to Vladivostok.” Dugin concludes that “if Hitler had not invaded Russia, Britain would be a thing of the past. The United States would remain isolated and divided, and Japan, a partner of Russia, would rule China.
