The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

The other world is not something entirely separate, like another planet or universe, but a different dimension of our world.

Alexander Dugin explains how Iran has emerged victorious in its war against Israel and the United States, and why this dramatic shift creates a unique window of opportunity for Russia to launch a decisive offensive and finally win in Ukraine.

Alexander Dugin shares his sharp analysis of the current global confrontation, the meaning of Russia as a civilization-state, and the deeper shifts taking place in Russian society and elite thinking.

Alexander Dugin argues that SPIEF reflects Russia’s enduring commitment to a multipolar world order in opposition to Western global hegemony.

Alexander Dugin condemns the Ukrainian strike that killed 21 students and delivers a scathing critique of Russia’s overly moralistic approach to the war, calling for decisive victory, strategic ruthlessness, and a fundamental shift in how the conflict is fought.

Alexander Dugin argues that Tulsi Gabbard’s departure marks the end of the original MAGA project and the collapse of hopes for a new American course towards Russia and multipolarity.

From Trump on X and Trump in China to the war on Iran and the development of AI — what is happening with reality? Whose reality?

Alexander Dugin argues that Russia faces a civilizational struggle defined by time, acceleration, and the need to break what he calls the country’s “heroic sleep” before the collective West escalates the conflict further.

The below transcript is from Prof. Alexander Dugin’s latest episode of the Radio Sputnik Escalation Show.

I congratulate everyone on Victory Day! They were victorious. Then we lived by that Victory for quite a long time. Later, its fruits were stolen from us. They even tried to steal the great holiday itself. That failed.

We are convinced that this world exists—the one in which we live with bodies and feelings. At times we allow that God exists as well, yet we relate Him to our world: we and He. We ask Him to help us within this, our world, or in some other way.

King Charles III of England, speaking before Congress, called for the preservation of NATO, support for the regime in Ukraine, and the joint launching of a war against Russia. Congress applauded. Above all the Democrats, though a significant number of Republicans as well.

Today was a very important day for Mali. This country, under the leadership of President General Assimi Goïta, is the most important outpost of the multipolar world in West Africa — and in Africa as a whole — together with the other members of the Alliance of Sahel States: Burkina Faso under the heroic Ibrahim Traoré and Niger under General Abdourahamane Tchiani.

Let’s remind our listeners what Palantir is. It is one of the key startups created by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp in Silicon Valley. They are developing a system for global surveillance of everything happening on the planet: in space, in the civil society of Western countries, and far beyond their borders. All these databases converge into unified hubs, into centers which, despite their formal “private” status, are deeply integrated into the system of intelligence agencies and political decision-making.

I have always approached Carl Schmitt with enormous interest and attention. I translated his works. Certain things—for example, his treatment of Hobbes’s Leviathan, his interpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, or his critique of Political Romanticism—provoked some resistance in me. Yet overall, I considered, and still consider, the majority of his ideas and concepts to be highly relevant.

Palantir Manifesto is much more important than Trump. Trump is insignificant pawn on the serious chess board. His role is total destruction. The preparations stage. Palantir is much more serious. It is the plan to safeguard the declining dominance of the West by radical means.

The country has been at war for a fifth year, and the question of revising the “elites”—many of which were formed during the darkest times of the 1990s, according to the principle of “corruption, banditry, and baseness”—has long since come to a head. A fair question arises: what should Russia’s ruling elite be like?

Conversation with Alexander Dugin on the Sputnik TV program Escalation.

Donald - Melania political pair reminds more and more House of cards scenario. Including Melania leading ONU security counsel session predicted in the House of cards. There are so many reasons to replace the exhausted mad old man by beautiful sober lady. And to publish files.

Alexander Dugin argues that Trump has stripped away diplomatic illusions and revealed the raw, brutal essence of American hegemony, turning the conflict with Iran into a decisive battle for the future of multipolarity.

The scenario is always the same: first, threats are issued, troops are deployed, and air strikes are launched. Then — whether by the Americans, their local allies, or ‘their own’ hands — the figure embodying resistance, sovereignty and consolidation is eliminated. They are either discredited or physically eliminated.

The Netanyahu/Trump pole is most of all focused on Iran. If Iran were to fall, they would most likely turn their attention to supporting Ukraine and targeting Russia. But Iran’s desperate resistance is diverting their main attention. Right now, Russia is not their priority — Iran is. Of course, Trump no longer cares at all about “peacekeeping,” so any settlement with Russia, if it has any meaning, is purely pragmatic. His war is the war with Iran. Israel has made this war Trump’s war. And Trump is not backing away from it.

It seems to me that in this war—one that is teetering on the edge of becoming a Third World War—we still do not fully understand whether it has already begun or is only approaching. Perhaps these developments can still be delayed, if not entirely avoided.
