He is a political crank with no academic credentials or even education to speak of. He is a college dropout. His writing is very tedious and not terribly interesting. The writings are always along the lines of rejecting western liberalism in favor of old-style Russian Imperialism & the Orthodox Church.I've heard this guy is Putin's brain, the guy who provides the theoretical construct for Putin's whole regime.
I've also heard it claimed Putin had no idea who he was until Dugin's daughter was murdered by the Ukrainian hit squad.
No clue personally what the reality is, in his case. Anyone know?
He gets more attention than he deserves in Europe and US. He has repeatedly been used by people in Europe and the US to give an intellectual structure to Putin's rule. But he isn't really reflective of Putin's policies or how Putin governs. The people in the US and Europe have seen him (somehow) as a Conservative Nazi Communist Fascist Nationalist Occultist and Orthodox Christian satanist. He is somehow in their views all negative ideologies at the same time. They hang all kinds of ideas on him to build elaborate conspiracy theories.
