WHY RUSSIA AND DUGIN?
Dugin is not stupid. He’s versed in science, philosophy and theology. He knows exactly what he’s doing and why he chooses scientific, philosophical, and religious frames deliberately at the items that he does. But just as Heidegger tried to reverse verb and noun, and Hegel longed for the peace of the farm, and Kant tried o create a secular theology, Duggin yearns for the simplicity of peasant life and insulation from a modernity that Russia cannot evolve into – without the trust necessary. Modernity is dependent upon trust and trustworthiness. That’s why europeans can do it, and so many others can’t.

Same reason he appeals to right wing americans.
They’re longing for a past because they’re not brave enough to fight for the future.
