The ‘Brain’ Behind the Crimea Annexation Wants to See a Return to Russian Imperialism

As a founder of Russia’s Eurasia Party — and, unsurprisingly, a leading advocate of Eurasianism — Dugin’s political outlook is one based around anti-liberalism, anti-Americanism, and a return to Russian imperialism.

The Eurasianism ideology, developed among the Russian emigre community during the 1920s, regards Russia as having closer links to Asia than Europe or the rest of the West.

Dugin wants to see the formation of a new Eurasian empire that will include every state from the former Soviet Union, as well as extending into other Asian countries.

By this, he means a society where individual freedoms are ignored and everything is organized for the glory of the state — effectively, a return to totalitarianism. This idea, he admits, is based upon the construction of the state under Nazi Germany.

I wonder why are such an ideologies are so popular around the world these days? I think the problem is pro-Americanism is of little value right now because for democrats it is a sin their administrations won’t leave unpunished.

Dugin’s book says Russia must support and empower disruptive groups in the USA. Some people think Russia supports those in the right, but in reality Russian support tries to create people like Timothy McVeigh.

Russia is playing it in a way that it may support both gay activists and Westboro Baptist Church. Anything that hurts the host country of these parasitic organizations.

Here is how John B. Dunlop summarizes the part concerning USA.

(Through wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

Russia should use its special forces within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism. For instance, provoke “Afro-American racists”. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.”

Nasty stuff. But isn’t America doing the same in other contries, including Russia?
