Alexander Dugin, whose daughter Darya was killed Saturday by a car bomb, is the high priest of a virulent brand of Russian nationalism that has become increasingly influential in Moscow.
At the age of 60, from a family of Russian military officers, his journey has been remarkable: from fringe ideologue to the leader of a prominent strand of thinking in Russia that sees it at the heart of a"Eurasian" empire defying Western decadence. He is the spiritual founder of the term"the Russian world."Along the way, this strand has incorporated a deep loathing of Ukraine's identity outside of Russia.
" Gradually, inexorably, Dugin's views have moved from the fringe of political debate in Russia to its center. In 2011, when he was prime minister, Vladimir Putin began to talk of a Eurasian Union. Dugin reflected that Putin needed"an ideology, a reason why he needs to come back" for a third term as president.
