In an exclusive interview, RT talks with prominent Russian political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin on the Ukraine conflict and the changes an ultimate Russian victory would bring to the world.
Russia has changed its paradigm from realism to the Theory of a Multipolar World, has directly rejected liberalism in all its forms, and has directly challenged modern Western civilization, openly denying it the right to be universal.
In December 2022, the A.M. Katz State Concert Hall in Novosibirsk hosted the First Siberian Forum of WRNS with the participation of the heads of the Government of the Novosibirsk Region and the Novosibirsk Metropolia of the Russian Orthodox Church. Among the speakers at the event was the most famous philosopher of modern Russia, Alexander Dugin, with whom Leaders Today correspondent Alexander Zonov spoke shortly afterwards in Moscow. We would like to thank Evgeny Tsybizov, co-chairman of the Russian People's World Council and head of the Tsargrad NGO, for his help with the organisation.
Yes, the success of artificial intelligence, this “electronic golem” is really amazing. To take and write an impeccable article, and soon, I have no doubt, to not only write an article, but to come up with a topic, an idea and a style that the author was going to think about is amazing. But to be honest, it doesn't really scare me.
First of all Soros provides definitions of "open" and "closed" societies. In the open societies the State protects the freedom of the individual. In the closed ones, the individual serves the interests of the State. In theory, this corresponds to the opposition of Western liberal democracy and traditional society (whatever that may be). Moreover, in the field of International Relations (IR) this corresponds exactly to the polemic between liberals in IR and realists in IR.
India and the U.S. last week launched a joint initiative on critical and emerging technologies (iCET). This was discussed in Tokyo back in May 2022 at the Quadrilateral Dialogue summit. Now the signing took place in Washington just after the U.S.-India Business Forum.

In the next part of our 'ABC of traditional values' we will talk about the letter 'I' - historical memory and intergenerational continuity. What is more important than this traditional value if we want to achieve all the others? After all, if we lose our historical memory, if we become like the one who does not remember his kinship, then, in general, it will not matter what we have planned before.
One of the most popular and debated arguments is the West's theft of Russia's foreign reserves and, consequently, the blaming of the liberal bloc government for placing them. I am far from a supporter of liberalism, in fact I am an irreconcilable opponent of it, but it is still worth getting to the bottom of the myths and propaganda.
We present the third part of a new project by the Russian TV channel Tsargrad, 'The ABC of Traditional Values', a series of talks by three Russian thinkers: Konstantin Malofeev, Alexander Dugin and Protopriest Andrei Tkachev. Today's talk examines one of the most important spiritual and moral values from the list of 'Fundamentals of State Policy' approved by Presidential Decree 809. We are talking about patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny.
In the final part of his study, Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin draws disappointing conclusions about the state of modern society in the West and Russia's chances of salvation based on a substantive analysis of human nature.
I have noticed that certain registers of understanding are rapidly disappearing in society. It is as if the spectrum of waves on which people communicate - references, quotations, examples, the minimum obvious set of references, including rhetorical figures, references to seemingly obvious cascades of knowledge (in history, culture, art, science, philosophy, politics) - is constantly and irreversibly shrinking.
In the second part of his anthropological study, Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin draws analogies between the material and spiritual worlds, between the worlds of humans and angels. The dualism discussed in the first part of the analysis is characteristic not only of humanity, but also of angels. How does it work in both worlds?
In our time it is becoming increasingly clear that man himself, his very existence, is in question, and it is becoming increasingly clear that we are living in a critical, extremely critical moment in history, and it is possible (and even probable) that we are living in the end times.
Today's Christians cannot help but have difficulties in their faith, not only because they live in an anti-Christian culture but also because faith is presented to them as something fragmented (e.g. a response to an existential challenge) or as a conceptual abstraction. Christianity lacks life. It is not completely lifeless, it is maladaptive, the life of Christianity is pale, which is why churches are half-empty, and even if they are full (on feast days), somehow they are not. Christian life is muted, muffled, muffled; it does not burn, but it ignites. It is a fact. There are exceptions, but they are extremely rare, and each case must be analysed carefully - whether we are talking about Christianity or whether the source of inspiration is somewhere else, or perhaps even somewhere else.
The most thoughtful observers of the Ukrainian front note the peculiar nature of this war: the chaos factor has increased enormously. This applies to all sides of the Special Military Operation, both to the actions and strategies of the enemy and our command, as well as to the dramatically increased role of technology (all kinds of drones and UAVs), and the intensive online information support, where it is almost impossible to distinguish the fictitious from the real. This is a war of chaos. It is time to revisit this fundamental concept.
The West is clinging to the impossible dream of hegemony, Russian philosopher tells RT
The conflict in Ukraine is the world’s “first multipolar war,” in which Russia is fighting for the right of every civilization to choose its own path while the West wishes to maintain its totalitarian hegemonic globalism, Alexander Dugin told RT in an exclusive interview on Friday.
Today, the Virgin Mary is the most vital and the one who brings the inviolable to earth. Angels and shepherds praise. The Wise Men travel with the star. For us the child is born, the Eternal God.
Philosopher Aleksandr Dugin discusses the Soviet Union’s legacy, multipolarity & other issues in an exclusive interview to RT.
A new world chaos
The conflict between two world orders
If we consider the problem of chaos from a philosophical and historical perspective, it becomes very clear that SMO is about Russia's struggle against the civilisation of chaos, which is, in fact, the new democracy, represented by the collective West and its rabid neighbourhood structure (Ukraine). The parameters of this civilisation, its historical and cultural profile, its ideology in general, are fairly easy to identify. We can recognise the movement towards chaos from the very first rebellion against orbitality, hierarchy, the ontological pyramidal volume that embodied the order of traditional civilisation.
In the Greek Orthodox tradition, churches that are dedicated to Sophia the Divine Wisdom have their patronal festival on the day of Mid-Pentecost. It means that today is truly a day of philosophy, truly a day of the Divine Wisdom, which our ancestors, our founding fathers handed down to us. As you know, in the Divine Liturgy, there is a priestly exclamation: "Wisdom! Arise!" Sometimes our theologians and philosophers try to contrast divine wisdom with human wisdom. But in the original Greek text of the liturgy, the word 'Sophia' is used. Sophia refers to both meanings of wisdom: divine wisdom and human wisdom. These two meanings do not totally coincide, but, at the same time, they are not in opposition.
