It does indeed seem that many tenets of neo-Eurasianism -- including an insistence on Russia's central role in Eurasia -- have become elements of state policy during Putin's presidency. Putin's foreign policy has clearly adopted a geopolitical approach, in sharp contrast to the ideologically based Soviet foreign policies and Tsarist-era messianic imperialism. Putin has consistently advocated trans-Eurasian transport projects, which are mainstays of Dugin's neo-Eurasianism. Dugin has written that Russia can only over take the Atlantic powers economically by developing its own trans-Eurasian infrastructure to counter their control of the world's waterways.

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.

Russia and neo-Nazis

"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."
