The war in Ukraine: who is Alexandr Dugin, the father of the Russian journalist murdered outside Moscow

“A holy war against the Antichrist and Satanism” represented by the so-called “modern Western value system” Alexander Duguin the Russian invasion of Ukraine, “a question of being or not being” that Russia will do everything to win, “even in the event of a nuclear collision”.

In the West he earned the nickname “Putin’s Rasputin”, or even the “brain” of the tsar, because Dugin’s slogans are becoming more and more frequent in the speeches of the Kremlin leader.

Starting from the concept of “New Russia” to indicate the Ukrainian territories to “free”, or the repeated references to Russian orthodoxy that Putin flaunts by being immortalized in the church and presenting himself as a champion of Christianity and tradition.

And there is no shortage of trips to Italy of the philosopher father of the so-called Fourth political theory (passing on fascism, communism and liberalism) which in 2018 blessed the yellow-green government, led by Giuseppe Conte.

“Salvini won, who with his sweatshirts and t-shirts helped stop demonizing populism, and also the 5 Star Movement. Together with them the people wonin this new fight against the elites to find their own identity, “said Duguin later.

However, the “great sympathy” for the leader of the Northern League, whom the Russian philosopher had interviewed in Moscow in 2016, did not last long. “The transformation of him in an atlantist and liberal sense is a sin, because it has lost the dimension of true populism “commented Duguin a couple of years ago, disappointed by the “influence of the American liberal right on Salvini”.

In one of the latest releases, the new Rasputin he had identified the far right as the new favorite Giorgia Meloni, for his criticism of the anti-Covid measures and the distance “from the failed policies of the globalist and liberal (Mario) Draghi”. “I have a feeling, it will make its way,” he said by way of prophecy and pointing to the upcoming elections in Italy.
