Even #Russia's "friendly" #Kazakhstan is cracking down on Russian #propaganda.
According to Deutsche Welle, Kazakhstan has banned entry to several well-known #Russian propagandists, including:
• Tina Kandelaki
• Tigran Keosayan
• Alexander #Dugin
• Nikita Mendkovich
Historian Andrey Grozin was also recently denied entry after making derogatory statements about Kazakhs—accusing them of livestock theft and arson, and mocking President Tokayev’s image.
The West doesn’t need to “understand” #Dugin’s ideas – it needs to reject them outright. Every time he’s platformed, his #dystopian fantasies get one step closer to reality. The world has enough problems without indulging another failed #authoritarian dreamer.

#Dugin’s Eurasianist theories have been used to justify #Russia’s #wars, interference in Western politics, and violent #geopolitical strategies. But I guess normalizing Russian #imperialism and #fascism is just the next step in restoring trade relations and lifting #sanctions.

… legitimized rather than condemned. #Dugin presents himself as a philosopher, but he’s really just a second-rate #Rasputin cosplayer. His “theories” are nothing more than dressed-up justifications for #authoritarianism, #genocide and imperial conquest.

And Carlson isn’t alone. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria also platformed #Dugin, referring to him as a “#Russian political philosopher” instead of an #extremist fascist. This normalization is dangerous and shifts the #Overton window in favor of #authoritarianism. To be fair, CNN REALLY…

Tucker, who can’t even pronounce #Dugin’s name (WTF is “Duujin”?) has also complained that the madman’s books can’t be found on Amazon. Despite being an ultra-nationalist #propagandist, he is increasingly being normalized as a “philosopher” in Western discourse.

This trend was started in Apr 2024 by everyone’s favorite #vatnik #propagandist and “#Russia expert”, Tucker Carlson. He gave #Dugin an uncritical platform. By doing so, he mainstreamed his #ideology to millions already primed to distrust their own democratic institutions.

#Dugin has consistently advocated for #Ukraine’s annihilation. He claims Ukraine is an “artificial country” that must be absorbed into #Russia. His rhetoric has dehumanized #Ukrainians, even calling them a “race of degenerates” in 2014.

Eventually, #Dugin envisions a multipolar world where #authoritarian empires—led by #Russia—replace Western liberal values with traditionalism, spiritualism, and, of course, absolute power. He frames this as a struggle between a “corrupt, materialistic West”…

Some of #Dugin’s most extreme fantasies – #wars, #occupations, and ethnic cleansings – are unfolding in #Ukraine and #Georgia. The final outcome is still uncertain, but his vision is being carried out in real-time.

#Dugin called for destabilizing the #US by exacerbating internal divisions. Fast forward to today: culture #wars, #conspiracy theories, far-right lunatics, and social media algorithms doing half the work for him.

In my first #Dugin Soup, I covered the man’s 1997 book Foundations of #Geopolitics — a manual for dismantling the West, breaking up #NATO, and building a #Russian-led empire. In it, he makes eerie “predictions” that seem to be playing out today.

In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll introduce a Russian ultra-nationalist #propagandist and “philosopher”, Aleksandr #Dugin. He’s best-known for his blueprint on #Russia’s geopolitical strategy and for his #genocidal rhetoric towards #Ukrainians.

In that same book, Osnovy Geopolitiki, #Dugin also suggests to alienate the UK from the rest of Europe… which was achieved with #Brexit in June 2016, just a few months before Trump got elected,
…to visit #Romania. Recently, #Dugin praised Călin during an interview, claiming that “Călin #Georgescu is an outstanding politician, he is useful for us. He cannot be called pro-#Russian, but he is similar to #Orban.”
