Philosopher and political scientist Alexander Dugin drew attention to an investigation into who the 'international experts', entrenched in the education system, are and how their dependence on the West harms Russia.
Dear colleagues, dear friends,
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.
Dasha, back at the very beginning of the Special Military Operation, once told me: “Prigozhin is so strong and confident, bold, sharp, that probably no one prays for him. It doesn’t even cross anyone’s mind. Let’s at least start praying for him.”
What happened at the XV BRICS Summit in Johannesburg is truly historic. Even if the President of Russia, the founder of BRICS, did not take part in it, it is still a turning point in modern history. The world order is changing before our eyes. Let us parrot the meaning of the ongoing tectonic changes.
Alexander Dugin, one of the world’s most famous political philosophers, joins us in a new episode of our New Rules podcast
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.
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.
Our war with the West on the territory of south-west Russia has a characteristic feature: the difference in timing, i.e. in the speed of mobilization, actions and reactions, and decision-making.
To my great regret, due to circumstances I was unable to attend the 'Tradition' Festival this time, although I tried not to miss it. Tradition is the main word in my life. It has become the main word and the last in my daughter Dasha Dugina's life.
My (alas deceased) friend, great businessman and patriot, Mikhail Yuriev, once asked me a question: why is the ideal a zero foreign trade balance, i.e. the situation where the country sells as much as it buys (i.e. the volume of imports equals the volume of exports)? It turns out, he concluded, that the ideal would be to reduce foreign trade to zero, a very good point on which he built his curious book Fortress Russia. The main idea is: Russia should close itself off from the world and build an autonomous society based only on our traditional Russian values. If you want a perfect foreign trade balance, do it. That is a very productive way of thinking.
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.
I would like to say a few words about the intellectual message that stands out through Dasha, her life, her projects and aspirations, and the depths and heights of her heart as embodied in her diary and expressed in the two main ideas which I will now present.
"The day was beautiful, exciting. I am happy. Lorenzo, we must have the courage to die for our ideas!"
In the history of 20th century philosophy and political science, everything associated with existentialism is opposed to politics. It is the existentialism of Sartre, Camus, leftist existentialism, which serves as a basis for criticising political structures and political systems, because it is a remote response to Heidegger.
Absolutely necessary changes are urgently needed in our society. Only they can lead us to Victory. And without Victory, there will be no Russia. Everyone understands this today. To save the people and the state, we must change. And radically and urgently.
It is wonderful that Africa remembers its friendship with Russia and does not abandon it even in the current difficult circumstances. But in history and politics, the friendship of nations has not only emotional, but also geopolitical, ideological and economic grounds.
Alexander Dugin states that what is happening in Russia is only a "latent civil war," with the people and army on one side and the liberals on the other, opposing additional moves towards patriotism.
