      Wasn’t intending to insinuate otherwise. I’ve been led to believe, that quite possibly incorrectly, that his writing was considered useful by the current regime.

        Dugin is basically irrelevant inside of Russia, he’s just beloved by westerners for some reason. He’s sort of like Tom Clancy or Jordan Peterson for Russia.

        In one of his books he says that what Russia needs to do is annex northern China. Do you think that’s something that’s part of Russia’s geopolitical plan or are these the ramblings of a crazy person?

        Yeah a good way to look at it is that the My Pillow guy has more actual direct influence on geopolitical leaders than Dugin ever did
