Who is Alexander Dugin
For some a geopolitician and philosopher, for others – “Kremlin watchdog”. Aleksander Dugin has been talking for years about the destruction of Ukraine, which he presented in his ideological concept as anti-Russia.
Aleksander Dugin, through his disheveled hair and long beard, is compared to Rasputin – a mystic who enjoyed influence at the court of the last tsar, Nicholas II. Some note its resemblance to the stereotypical post-Soviet film villain when he explains with a strong English accent why he thinks the West is the enemy. Dugin’s philosophy, which draws from conservatism, Satanism, Bolshevism and Eurasianism, may seem abstract, but, as Marcin Łuniewski wrote in Rzeczpospolita, it has become one of the main ideas about what contemporary Russia could look like.
Dugin’s Thought in the Cabinets of Russian Authorities
Dugin’s thought reached the Kremlin, and the philosopher himself became the main ideologist of Russian neo-imperialism. Dugin praises totalitarianism and criticizes the West and liberalism. Believes that Russia is a separate civilization with a mission – believes that Moscow should control all former Soviet republics and former socialist bloc states; in the east, the border should end either in Mongolia or on the coast of the Indian Ocean. This is what Eurasianism is based on – on detachment from Western civilization and the conviction that the Bolshevik October Revolution was necessary to stop the rapid modernization of Russian society.
“We must reject Western civilized racism and ethnocentrism. We are the people of Asia, Eurasia. […] Why do we need to be Europeans? They have rolled down and are offering us to follow them. Our backwardness prevents us from changing into the kind of subhumans who live in modern civilization. Civilization is death “- said Dugin during one of his lectures.” The gay parades in Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris and London, somewhere near Brest should stop and here should already take place normal parades of normal Eurasians “- he added. He called Poland” cordon “between Russia and Germany and a fictional state financed by the USA.
Dugin cannot stand the fact that Kyiv does not want to join Eurasia. “Kill, kill, kill Ukrainians,” he called in a recording that was released during the fiercest fighting in the Donbas in eastern Ukraine. The philosopher supported the annexation of Crimea and separatist movements. For this he lost his job at the university and was banned from entering the European Union, but his popularity among Russians grew.
Experts point out that Vladimir Putin “says” Duginem; so is Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. They argue that Ukraine is not a separate nation, but “anti-Russia created by the West”. Using Dugin’s terms, politicians introduce him to the mainstream – especially his ideas presented in the books “Fundamentals of geopolitics” from 1997 and “The Fourth Political Theory” from 2009. Dugin argued that the combination of elements of communism, fascism and Nazism would help eliminate liberalism. . That is why the philosopher is called the “brain of the Kremlin”.
Others – like Michał Sutowski from Krytyka Polityczna – claim that Dugin is not a philosopher or geopolitician, but simply a “Kremlin chain dog”.
