Keith Preston notes: “Vladimir Putin’s name is known throughout the world. Alexander Dugin’s name, not so much. But to people in the know, Alexander Dugin is a very important name, as the Russian public intellectual says what Putin thinks. The Agenda examines the man who has been called “Putin’s brain.”
I did laugh at the hostile tone the interviewer took toward the end, though. He seems to feel genuinely threatened that someone in the West could look favorably towards a traditionalist Christian society.
For the multi-culturalists, all cultures are of equal value except Christian ones, which of course are evil and oppressive in their view.
I thought he gave a good explanation at the cultural and religious agenda of Putin's Russia through its primary intellectual voice. And that the West is not the "End of History" as Fukuyama would have us believe in his book. The young PhD grasps the appeal this has for Russians. Very few in the West grasp this elementary fact.
Yeah, it was kind of a cheap shot at the end. "If Russia's so great, why don't you move there?" I'm not sure what that proves other than the host is boorish.
