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."

> You signed up here just to tell me this? Yeah, i read FR regularly, but you managed to get me registering. I will not comment about links you posted above, but i will tell you: dont't try to hide, speak for yourself. I just told you about this Dugin beign madman, you decided not to answer but to post yet another piece of BS. btw, do you take all this seriously? if your answer is "Yes", and since Dugin is mad (not hard to find this out by reading just citations), should WE, anyone, take YOU seriously? Frankly, i'll laugh at anyone here in Russia who'll try to speak seriously about Dugin, Limonov, Zyuganov, and Zhirinovskyi. And finally, have you been to Russia last two-three years? If not, why are you telling me about how miserable our life is while it is not.
