J.D. Vance wants to “change our relationship to Israel.” This is good news for Alexander Dugin’s club.

Shortly before the elections, during a meeting with Russian-speaking bloggers, Netanyahu stated that Russia was conducting a massive campaign to undermine Israel. He specifically mentioned the Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, calling him a “terrible person” who exerts a destructive influence on young American right-wingers, turning them against Israel.

So, who is Dugin, what is his influence on Kremlin policy, and why is he a “terrible person”?
