Often dubbed “Putin’s brain,” “Putin’s Rasputin,” or “Putin’s philosopher,”Alexander Dugin’s neo-Eurasianist philosophy—emphasizing Russia’s role as a counterweight to Western liberalism who advocates for a multipolar world order—mirrors elements of Putin’s geopolitical rhetoric and actions, such as the emphasis on traditional values, criticism of individualism, and the pursuit of Eurasian integration. Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin (Alexander Dugin), born on January 7, 1962, is a prominent Russian political philosopher, strategist, and public intellectual known for his advocacy of neo-Eurasianism and opposition to Western liberalism. The son of a Soviet military intelligence officer and a physician, he grew up in an affluent family but became an anti-communist dissident during the 1980s, immersing himself in far right and esoteric ideas influenced by thinkers like René Guénon and Julius Evola, but at the core of Dugin’s philosophy isNeo-Eurasianism, which envisions Russia leading a land-based alliance of civilizations against the “Atlanticist” West, drawing on geopolitical theories from figures like Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger.

His seminal 1997 book,Foundations of Geopolitics, became a textbook in Russian military academies and outlined strategies for weakening Western alliances, including destabilizing Ukraine to prevent it from aligning with Europe or NATO. Dugin has publicly supported Putin’s actions, such as the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, framing them as defenses against “Ukrainian Nazism” and Western hegemony and for this reason Dugin’s daughter, Darya Dugina (also known as Darya Platonova), was killed in a car bombing on August 20, 2022, near Moscow, by Ukrainian intelligence. In interviews, Dugin has acknowledged his influence on Putin as “strong, although indirect,” noting that his exclusion from public life under Boris Yeltsin ended with Vladimir Putin’s ascent, allowing him to disseminate ideas that shaped broader Russian discourse.

In early March 2026, Alexander Dugin shifted his stance publicly on Donald Trump, rightly criticizing him as a “neocon” (neoconservative) who has deviated from true conservative or traditionalist principles, while elevating Tucker Carlson, as the authentic embodiment of the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, a position I fully embrace even if I’m still skeptical of Carlson’s real motivations behind his sudden change of mind, but that’s another story. However, Dugin’s criticism appears tied to Trump’s public disavowal of Carlson, where Trump accused him of being “not MAGA” and “not America First” after Carlson rightly opposed U.S. involvement in a potential war with Iran, framing it as contrary to American interests and to his presidential campaign promises, as I also pointed out to my audience many times in the last few months in my shows and articles.

Alexander Dugin now portrays President Trump as having “lost his way” and aligning with the “neocon” establishment foreign policy hawks, a position I also share with many disappointed “MAGA Americans,” and now for the first time, Dugin is embracing what I have fully exposed in my latest bookTheRise and Fallof a FrankistMonster: Exposing Jeffrey Epstein and The Most Powerful Jewish Sect in the World,about the real origins of Zionism being the Sabbatian Frankist heresy.

On March 6th, 2026, Dugin wrote an article on his blog,multipolarpress.com:

“To understand how it happened that the modern Israeli state stands in complete contradiction to Jewish religion in its orthodox, Talmudic formulation, we must dig deeper and go back at least to the 17th century, to the era of the pseudo-messiah Sabbatai Zevi. As Gershom Scholem writes, he was the first harbinger of Zionism.Sabbatai Zevi declared that he himself was the Mashiach, and therefore the Jews now had the right to return to the Promised Land.”

Dugin adds that with Zevi’s successor, “the Sabbatean Jacob Frank,” who “converted to Catholicism,” the “very concept of the Mashiach had changed,” describing “The essence of Zionism as a kind of Jewish Satanism.”

Not Satanism in relation to other peoples or cultures, but Satanism within Judaism—that is, an inversion of values. If classical orthodox Judaism insists that the meaning of Jewish existence in dispersion (galut) consists in awaiting the Mashiach, who will come from outside, and only then should one return to the Promised Land, Zionism is based on the principle that the Jews themselves are God. Therefore, they can return to Palestine right now and can do so by force, thereby rejecting the Talmudic prohibition and proceeding to build the Third Temple. The appearance of the Mashiach will be the culmination of this messianic process, but in essence, every Israeli is the Mashiach. Hence, the completely specific relationship between Zionism and Judaism. On one hand, Zionism is a continuation of Judaism; on the other, it is a refutation of Judaism, since it rejects the most fundamental principles of Judaism: the culture of pious waiting and the culture of repentance (teshuvah).”[1]

So, as I pointed out in my book on Jeffrey Epstein, Dugin believes,“Zionist ideology cannot even be fully called ‘Jewish’ because it is based on the refutation of the basic principles of Judaism.”[2]And as I’ve also explained in my book,“Sabbateanism was rejected by orthodox Judaism, but it did not disappear completely and continued to spread, especially among Ashkenazi Jews.”[3]
