Person:notes | Russian political philosopher, political scientist, analyst, strategist and long- standing ideologue of the theories of Russky Mir and Eurasianism. He is a member of the so-called Izborsk Club, a Russian Conservative think tank which specializes in studying Russia’s foreign and domestic policy. Dugin has ideologically and theologically justified Crimea’s annexation and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, seeing it as a “liberation” of Ukraine from Western influence. Dugin’s ideology is centered on the idea of building a totalitarian, Russia-dominated Eurasian empire, which includes Ukraine for historical, religious and geographical reasons. Dugin’s ideological assumption is that Ukraine is an artificial state threatening the security of Russia and the envisioned Eurasian Empire. Therefore the military invasion of Ukraine was inevitable. He called on President Vladimir Putin to militarily invade eastern Ukraine. Dugin has promoted the Russian World concept linked to the expansive, revanchist nationalism of the Putin era, entailing the idea of the historic motherland protecting the subjects of the Russian World. He has helped to revive the concept of “Novorossiya” or “New Russia” — a historical name, used during the era of the Russian Empire for an administrative area that is currently part of Ukraine. Dugin called on the denazification of Ukraine and called its government fascist. He actively supported the pro-Russian separatist movement in Eastern Ukraine and instrumentalised his worldview theory by establishing the “Eurasian Youth Union”, which was undertaking activities directed at undermining the sovereignty of Ukraine. Therefore Aleksander Dugin is responsible for, supporting and implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, or stability or security in Ukraine. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-57103 | ||||
