I've seen people saying this is because she was "blown clear of the car". Which makes me do a little chinny-reckon gesture.

dugin is a western obsession, or so it seems to me, inside russia I dont think hes that important

my impression of him is if he's anything in Russia he's a would-be court philosopher with little to no influence on or access to the court

kinda like how the Nazi inner circle found it useful to publicly promote Alfred Rosenberg while privately holding his ideas in contempt

except that Rosenberg even aside from his theories was a significant Nazi figure (and major Holocaust perpetrator)

whereas Dugin as public figure seems to be closer to like a better-educated Russian Alex Jones crossed with a fair bit of Julius Evola

but since a bunch of his ideas jive with the Official Nationality trip Putin wants to be (or seems to want to be) on

autocracy, Orthodoxy, expansionism, anti-West/liberal world order, the inherent mystical greatness of Russia, etc

and he seems quite anxious - as thinker/grifiters usually are - to promote himself

it's easy for foreign non-expert journalists or talking heads to latch onto him as a real court philosopher

he's seen as a far right troll by russian people I speak to.

Troll being the operative word there. his brand is tailor-made to appeal to western liberal anxieties, something he admits as much in that essay.

A con artist and nothing else. The fact that the West take him seriously is an indictment of the lack of a concrete objection to fascism in western countries. Most western antifascists only reject such ideas superficially. Spin them in queer pagonist, postcolonial, let a hundred nationalities bloom, patriotic anarchist, and they're all over them.
