He is more popular in the Russian Army and in the security establishment (searching for a cause when Marx is dead) than in the office of Putin. But, Dugin has made the strange idea about Euroasianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasia_Movement acceptable in Russia.
Russia, or persons representing the state, are profiting on the Iranian sanctions and are laundering money and oil from Iran, thus they do not want a solution of the present situation. I anticipate that Iran want to end their dependence on Russia, but the do not know how to do it.
Note that the Russian economy requires an oil price 120-130 /bbl in order for break even of their budget. The next time that the oil price will be parked for months below, say, 80/bbl there will be a new revolution in Russia as they run out of money. Putin knows this and that is why Russia is supporting problems in Middle East to keep the oil price high.
