“Holy Rus'” is an essential concept in Russian mythology, but also eschatology

Alexander Dugin is a serious scholar, a genuine intellectual, and a provocative social scientist who may be not unworthily pronounced the most formidable theoretical opponent of Western liberalism since Lenin.

From this moral realism, it is justified to strive for a balance of power to realize a little more justice or a little less injustice.

Proponents of the “Dugin the mastermind” argument need to substantiate their claims with evidence and ask themselves how effective, if at all, is Dugin at influencing Kremlin elites and Russian foreign policy.
