Alexander Dugin talks about the need to destroy liberalism in Russia fast and definitively.
Certainly most thinking individuals would agree that in the 1990s, the Russian state was taken over by adversaries who imposed external control over it – over our entire society. Its overarching name is liberalism. Not some ‘bad liberalism’, ‘distorted liberalism’, or ‘pseudo-liberalism’, but simply liberalism. No other kind of liberalism exists. Russian liberals became nodes in this occupation network.
From the moment Putin came to power in 2000, he began gradually extracting the country from this situation. Very slowly. Deliberately. Almost imperceptibly. And we are still on this path.
With every step – every shift – in Putin’s policy (all of which is aimed at strengthening Russia’s sovereignty, meaning breaking free from external control and, consequently, deliberalising our society and our worldview), a segment of liberals gets detached. Firstly, the now-forgotten Berezovsky and Gusinsky. Then Khodorkovsky. Then, after 2014, the first mass party. And then, after 24 February 2022, an even larger party.
But that is not all. Just recently, following the tragic events in Palestine, a group of right-wing Zionists, loyal to Putin until the very end, broke away.
And more will continue to break away. The networks of liberals are so formidable and powerful that it is challenging to deal with them, especially since Putin has chosen a strategy of gradually pushing them out. It is even unclear who will perish first – they or the Russian population. Yes, they are ageing and either passing away or leaving the country. But they are also taking entire Russian generations with them – corrupted, confused, bribed, infected, driven mad, and led astray.
