"Reportedly, Dugin worked with the classified files on the theoreticians of Italian and German fascism, whose papers had been seized by Russian soldiers during and after World War II. He also reportedly researched the files of the Russian Eurasianists, a group of emigre Russian scientists and intellectuals active in the 1920s."
"Also in the late 1970s, Dugin joined an underground group of Moscow intellectuals interested in mysticism, paganism, and fascism, and this experience contributed greatly to Dugin's intellectual development. He reportedly maintained contacts with the group until 1988, when he and another member, Geidar Dzhamal, joined Pamyat, a nationalist, anti-Semitic organization."
"In the run-up to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dugin began to promote increasingly neo-fascist ideas, even expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler's SS. In 1991, he began publishing "Elementy," an ultra-rightist magazine in which Dugin wrote admiringly of SS leader Heinrich Himmler and other Nazi figures."
"Dugin's flirtation with Nazism reached its peak in the fall of 1993. On the eve of the violent confrontation between President Boris Yeltsin and the opposition-dominated Supreme Soviet, Dugin appeared on the main national television channel as the host of a new series called "Secrets of the Century," which advocated an intellectualized version of fascism."
"Dugin formed an alliance with the controversial writer and activist Eduard Limonov, who launched his National Bolshevik Party in 1994. Dugin became the party's chief ideologue and the editor of its newspaper, "Limonka."
"Dugin's association with the National Bolshevik Party was short-lived. He soon shifted back to the right and attempted to revive the pure Eurasianism that he had earlier studied in the intelligence archives. His 1996 book "Mysteries of Eurasia" is his neo-Eurasianist manifesto. In it, he called for the creation of a Eurasian Union that would comprise Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Iran, India, the Arab world, and continental Europe and would oppose the United States."
"The leitmotif of "Foundations of Geopolitics" is that the United States is Russia's primary geopolitical adversary and must be destroyed before it destroys Russia."
"In 2000, Dugin created Eurasia, a Moscow-based social-political movement and political party that fully supports Putin."
"Around the same time, Dugin publicly embraced a branch of the Russian Orthodox Church that practices Old Believer rites but recognizes the authority of Moscow Patriarchate. He also began advising the patriarchate on strategies for disseminating Russian Orthodoxy abroad.
The Eurasia party's founding congress was held at the patriarch's Moscow residence in 2002."

Excellent article. Central Asia has been all but invisible to the West for more than a century because of Russian/Soviet domination. We need to pay attention to what's happening east of the Caspian and (what's left of) the Aral Sea.
I was deployed to Karshi-Khanabad, Uzbekistan in 2003-04. At the time it looked like the beginning of a friendship between us and the Uzbeks. I forgot that Karimov is a Stalinist dictator. Not as bad as in Turkmenistan (that place might as well be North Korea). Anyway, we're gone and the Russians are back in. Too bad.
Also if you google Alexander Dugin and come up with his Wikipedia article, it talks about France and Germany being part of a stretegic line, and Iran being an important partner. All fits in perfectly with what Putin has been doing in the last few years.
"That Nazi, Alexander Dugin, who makes no secret of his infatuation with the esthetic and practice of Hitler's SS, is never off the screen of the state television stations, having now been promoted to the position of one the leading official ideologists of the regime."
Isaac Luria and Sabbatai Zevi in Russian Orthodoxy, also by Alexander Dugin.
Better kept in the dark, you're thinking?
Certainly not, but there's nothing common with state policy !!!You introduces us Dugin's doctrines and tell it's official Putin's government policy. BMS it is unfair!
There is, of course, no proof that such a grand plan actually exists. ==
The key phraze of whole article:)).. Whole article is the pile of gossips and wild imagination.
In fact, Russia's best-known Eurasianist, Dugin, has become an increasingly prominent figure in Russia. ==
BHAHAHAHA!!:))
FYI I didn't see Dugin on TV for 10 years already. If you say Pavlovskii I would agree somehow. He at least has his own TV show now. But Dugin:)).
Anyway his ideas about euroasian imperialism isn't interesting anymore. I tell you the best kept secret from westren media: Russia turns to her egoistic capitlism national development. So Russia wants to get rich no matter how. That is the new national idea which engulfed almost everyone.
Ukranians, Georgians, Central Asia, China are interested if they bring money to Russia. If not then no interest. Any business which brings money is for propagation.
In order to defend the current and future profits Russia rearm her army and create the new paramilitary.
Noone in West even understand what is happening:). You all are as those old sovetologists who didn't understand what happened in Soviet Union. Now with new Russia is same stupidity.
"Alexander Dugin, a philosopher who will present a political analysis programme on Spas, says Russia has long needed such a channel.
"Today Russian television entertains people and that means it tears society apart," he says.
"I'm convinced that entertainment is a very negative and useless thing. It corrodes individual identity, society's identity and finally the whole country's identity. Russia was amused - and as a result Russians have got lost."
Do you think that posting stuff written by insane person unknown to noone but you and your fellow russophobes gives you any weight?
This Dugin madman is UNKNOWN in Russia (I personally got to know about him from your posts). Same about Eurasianism. This is one of crazy theories having nothing to do with reality.
Fact that this man is Russian has nothing to do with Russia at whole and with Russian politics.
Better yet, what about posting stuff written by local Napoleon Buonoparte or some other random person residing in nearby madhouse? There are plently of insane persons everywhere, in all countries writing stupidity. Some even get posted by people like you in local newspapers or appear on local TV.
They have nothing to do with reality. Please don't make yourself look like they are.
You don't watch Spas? ==
It is sattelite TV channel. I don't have the stattelite TV now. When I had it sometimes ago I didn't see that channel on broadcast.
Anyways Russia has many sattelite TV channels. Maybe one more won't be bad.
You signed up here just to tell me this?
Nothing illustrates this as much as the runaway popularity of Dugin's newly established Eurasia movement
"Moscow's recent maneuvers in Central Asia reflect Eurasianism's growing ideological weight. There, through a combination of constructive engagement and coercion, Russia has managed to re-establish much of its Cold War dominance."

"Modern-day Eurasianists, including Alexander Dugin, have steadfastly predicted that Russia and the US-led West are destined to clash. The two sides have "strictly opposing" interests, Dugin maintained in a June commentary published by the Argumenty i Fakty."
"Putin has offered evidence that he is again leaning in a Eurasian direction. During an August 26 celebration of the city of Kazan’s 1,000th anniversary, Putin publicly praised Lev Gumilev, the historian and philosopher who is recognized as a founder of the modern Eurasianist movement. At this time, when it appears that Eurasianist thinking is again on the ascendancy in Moscow, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the ideological foundation of Eurasianism."
