The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

Alexander Dugin argues that Donald Trump, disillusioned by the lack of progress in resolving the Ukrainian conflict on his own terms, is preparing for a unilateral withdrawal.

When it became clear that the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) could not fulfill the task of integration, the Eurasian Union was created. But it was founded solely on economic ideas. And since integration between countries cannot be achieved on economic grounds alone, this idea stalled once again. Only in the creation of the Russia-Belarus Union State3 have certain successes been achieved.

Alexander Dugin warns that only the creation of a Union State between Russia and Iran — modeled on the Russia-Belarus alliance — can serve as a salvational measure to prevent an unwinnable U.S.-Iran war fueled by neocon and pro-Israel interests.

The attacks on the Near Caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra clearly show that the satanic regime entrenched in Kiev is living out its final days. This is its agony. That is why they seek to desecrate as many sacred sites as possible, to inflict as much evil as they can upon the people, the culture, the country. And for that reason, what has happened is not at all surprising.

Alexander Dugin offers a sweeping analysis of Africa’s historical trajectory — not merely as a geopolitical space but as a betrayed civilization — framing Pan-Africanism as a metaphysical and imperial project within the rising multipolar order. He traces the stages of Pan-Africanism’s development, denounces the African states’ postcolonial mimicry of Western forms, and affirms Africa’s unique plurality of Logoi and its destined rupture with colonial time through a return to sacred identity, deep decolonization, and alliance with Eurasia.

I have noticed that the consciousness of many people [Russian citizens, ed.] cannot cope with the events of 24 June. So they tend to say: 'it didn't happen'; 'it wasn't real'; 'they were there on purpose'. This is the only way to numb the acute pain of what happened. 

The XV BRICS summit made a historic decision to admit 6 more countries into the organisation - Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This effectively completed the formation of the core of a multipolar world.

Alexander Dugin explores the complex legacy of Ernst Jünger, a titan of German modernism, focusing on the concept of the ‘Worker,’ a central figure that encapsulates Jünger’s views on politics, existentialism, and the transformative struggles of the twentieth century.

'A true intellectual, a man for whom his thoughts are more important than his physical existence': this is how they write about the Russian thinker Aleksandr Dugin, the Western press calls the philosopher 'Putin's mentor', 'the brain of the Kremlin', 'the ideological foundation of the SMO'. To destroy him, terrorists blew up Dugin's daughter Daria a year ago. What did she die for and what ideas does Dugin himself support? Interview by Marina Hakimova-Gatzemeyer.

The events of the last few weeks have highlighted the axes of new geopolitical alliances and completely rebuilt the geopolitical map of the world.

Postmodernism is the paradigm towards which the transition from the previous paradigm, the modern, is taking place. The transition is taking place before our eyes, so today's society (at least western society, but also planetary society as far as western influence is concerned) is a society in transition. Not only is Russian society transitive in a broad sense, but also the social matrix that defines the life of humanity to this or that degree is changing its qualitative nature today.

Let us trace the fate of the Logos in the Postmodern. It is extremely important to always remember that the Logos is one of the manifestations of the heroic myth, i.e. the product of the diurnal regime (according to J. Durand's classification). Nor is it the only one, nor is it absolute. The Logos includes the antithetical and pleonasmic sides of the heroic myth (heterogeneous homogenisation) and takes them to their ultimate limit, but it also leaves aspects of the Diurnal myth such as the direct and frenzied will to power, passionality and hyperbolisation in the unconscious. Of course, these aspects of the Diurnal - relatives of the Logos - also penetrate the same, but not explicitly, but through the inertia of the choreic attraction of the heroic myths to one another (i.e. not logically).

Political philosophy has always been denied full recognition, focusing on analyzing the metaphysical aspects of Neoplatonism. Neoplatonic concepts such as “permanence” (μονή), “emanation” (πρόοδος), “return” (ὲπιστροφή), etc. were treated in historical-philosophical works separately from the sphere of the Political. Thus, the Political was interpreted only as a stage of ascent toward the Good, embedded in the rigid hierarchical model of Neoplatonic philosophical thought, but not as an independent pole of the philosophical model.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 allowed liberalism to emerge as the undisputed, dominant global ideology. Over the past several years, however, the ideology’s future has come increasingly under question. Populist upheavals in the United States and Europe exposed growing discontent with the inability of liberal institutions to cope with foreign policy and economic failures. At the same time, new emerging powers such as Russia, China, and India among others have begun to put forth their own ideological alternatives.

North Korea is a beautiful thing. Interestingly, the Korean word 'Juche' (주체) is a deeply philosophical term and means 'subject' or even the Heideggerian Dasein. It has everything else included in it: independence, freedom, civil sovereignty.

The novel-life, a 'non-historical novel' as the author Evgeny Vodolazkin (doctor of philology, specialist in ancient Russian literature) calls it, is a description of the destiny and inner development of Arseny the healer. After receiving medical training from his grandfather Christopher, Arseny enters life with all its complexities, temptations and trials. From the beginning, Arseny's profile betrays a man called in spirit and marked by a special gift, an unusual charisma. He is mobilised by a higher power to serve people. He is not of this world, but he serves people of this world. Already in this we can see the plot of suffering and pain.

I thank you all from my heart all those who  commemorate the tragic day 20 august 2022 when my daughter Darya was brutally killed by Ukrainian terrorist woman. I thank all my friends and friends of Darya for Your condolences and sharing my deep sorrow. I also thank you for publishing the different books written by Dasha or dedicated to her memory.

Alain de Benoist examines the contrasting frameworks of liberal internationalism, nation-states, and civilisational states in defining the characteristics of the Earth’s Nomos.

The Teori Dergisi, which is published in Türkiye, conducted a comprehensive interview with Russian thinker and political theorist Aleksandr Dugin on Russia-US relations. The interview, which addressed many important issues, especially the relations between Trump and Putin and the Ukraine issue, is still relevant. We are publishing the entire interview conducted by UWI writer and political scientist Onur Sinan Güzaltan in English. The subheadings belong to us.

Donald Trump’s dissolution of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is an event of paramount importance, one whose significance can hardly be overstated. But why did this happen? First and foremost, it is crucial to recognize that Trump, in his second term, is not merely a successful politician — he represents an alternative strategy. This is a strategy of anti-globalism and realism in international relations.

Putin’s appearance in Kursk in military uniform and his meeting with General Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff, right on the front line demonstrates Russia’s absolute determination to achieve the goals of the special military operation without any compromises.

With globalists in decline and multipolarity on the rise, Japan has a rare chance to reclaim its independence.

Donald Trump’s return to power is not merely a political event. It is a geopolitical shift of historic proportions. In The Trump Revolution, Alexander Dugin dissects the rise of Trumpism 2.0 and its role in dismantling the liberal-globalist order, replacing it with a new reality: the Order of Great Powers. This is not the cooperative multipolarity envisioned by Russia and China but a harsher, pragmatic world in which only strong and truly sovereign civilizations can assert themselves.

G. Greenwald: Professor, thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me. It's great to see you. I want to start with the change in what seems like the climate and certainly in Washington, in the United States, where there's a great deal of expectation that with a new president, one who specifically is vowing that he wants to see an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine and there's a lot of expectation that that is going to happen. I think the same is true in Western European capitals, for better or for worse. Some people are happy, some people are not. What is the expectation here in Moscow in terms of that likelihood?
