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.

You signed up here just to tell me this?

What is Eurasianism? Dr. Aleksandr Gelyevitch Dugin, founder of the International Eurasian Movement, attempted to explain the ideological prospects and tendencies for this Russian geopolitical movement at Johns Hopkins' Nitze School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

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."
