Dugin has long been more than just an ideologist; he is becoming integrated into Russian education.
The ideologist of the "Russian world" and philosopher Alexander Dugin, against the backdrop of the ongoing fourth year of war with Ukraine and new strikes from the "Oreshnik" system, stated that "in light of current events, all Russian people who, for some reason, have not yet been baptized should do so immediately."
He noted that one cannot be sure that eternity will not come soon, and then it will be too late: "One day eternity will come, and in it the moment of free choice will disappear. And it is extremely important. Perhaps this moment of freedom is with us for a very short time. Everything will disappear, but the decision to undergo holy baptism and the church sacraments will remain, reaching to the very core of eternity."
Dugin also recommended acting correctly right now. "Our faith is in the Savior. No one will save us except Him. That is who we must turn to. Without delay," Dugin wrote in his blog. In his opinion, the stakes for Russia have risen so high that new actions from Russia and more terrifying and catastrophic steps must be considered.
Alexander Gelievich Dugin (born January 7, 1962, Moscow) is a Soviet and Russian philosopher, political scientist, sociologist, translator, public figure, and propagandist. He holds a PhD in philosophy, a doctorate in political science, and a doctorate in sociology. He is a professor and served as acting head of the Department of Sociology of International Relations at the Faculty of Sociology of Moscow State University from 2009 to 2014. He is the director of the Ivan Ilyin Higher Political School at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
Leader of the International Eurasian Movement. Honorary professor at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and Tehran University. Visiting professor at Southern Federal University and senior researcher at Fudan University (Shanghai).
In 2014, the American publication Foreign Policy included Dugin in the top 100 "global thinkers" of the modern world in the category of "agitators."
Dugin's views are assessed by a number of researchers as fascist. The philosopher himself has always denied these accusations, classifying himself as belonging to his own "fourth political theory," which, in his opinion, should be the next step in the development of politics after the first three: liberalism, socialism, and fascism. Dugin's political activity is aimed at creating a Eurasian superstate through the integration of Russia with the former Soviet republics into a new Eurasian Union (EAS). For a long time, Dugin has called for the killing of Ukrainians, the invasion of Ukraine, and its annexation.
Since 2014, he has been included in the European Union's sanctions list, and since 2015, he has been included in the sanctions lists of the USA, Canada, and several other countries.
Moscow State University, following the Russian State University for the Humanities, has introduced a course by Dugin for its students. At the Faculty of Political Science of Moscow State University, lectures are held in the series "Introduction to Westernology. Political Aspect," where the philosopher explains what the "satanic West" is and how to study it.
Last year, the United Kingdom included Dugin and his Center for Geopolitical Expertise in its sanctions list. The justification states that Dugin participates in destabilizing Ukraine by supporting or promoting actions that threaten its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or independence.
