Alexander Dugin: who is Putin ally and apparent car bombing target? (The Irish Times)

Influence over the Russian president remains a subject of heated discussion.

The actual influence of Dugin over Putin’s day-to-day operations has been a longstanding topic of debate, with some Russia experts calling him “Putin’s spiritual guide” and others, mostly those in Moscow, saying he was an irrelevant figure eager to appear close to the Kremlin for personal profit. Dugin’s illiberal totalitarian ideas were deemed irrelevant, and he found himself on the fringes of political power. Born in 1962 in a high-ranking military family, Dugin spent his early years as an anti-communist dissident. However, his actual influence over the Russian president remains a subject of heated discussion. In the book, Dugin laid out his vision to divide the world, calling for Russia to rebuild its influence through annexations and alliances while proclaiming his opposition to Ukraine as a sovereign state. Dugin’s worldview is most clearly articulated in his 1997 publication The Foundations of Geopolitics, which reportedly became a textbook in the Russian general staff academy and solidified his transition from a dissident to a prominent pillar of the conservative establishment.
