Russia, Russia, Russia! So much hot air and so little understanding in the wake of Donald Trump’s rise, especially with the hyperbole leveled at the new president.
But what ideology or strategy actually explains the motives and plans of the Russians? One name stands out: Aleksandr (or Alexandr) Dugin, the man behind Duginism. As nuts as this guy may be, the Ruskies listen and have even given him prominent official positions in foreign policy.
To make sense of this man and Russian policy, we have the prolific YouTuber and analyst Lucian Valsan (pictured above) on the show, all the way from Romania.
Russian academic and foreign-policy guru Aleksandr Dugin is not so well known in the West, but he has had a profound impact on Russian policy. (Alexandr Dugin)
