I have read most of the books Dugin wrote before 2008. I also know him personally quite well. I don’t support many of his views, some of them I find nonsensical, other I don’t understand etc.
I leave a probability however that I am merely too ‘daft’ for his philosophy.
However what British (and I have little doubts the crime was planned and guided by Mi6 and Ukrainian whore – literally – Natalia Vovk and her direct bosses were merely perpetrators and most likely will perish soon) achieved with this disgusting terroristic attack is that millions of people in Russia and all over the world will start reading Dugin’s books, lectures, watch his interviews etc. etc. – and will discover literally the most anti-Western and anti-globalist thinker and philosopher ever, in comparison to whom any Western conservative is a kid from a sandbox.
Because Dugin’s ideas – sometimes weirdly formulated, seemingly nonsensical and astonishing – are based in the abysmal depths of ancient, medieval and modern philosophy.
His books, already translated into a dozen of languages and quite popular in some countries with strong anti-Western sentiment, especially in Iran and Turkey, but also in China, Japan etc., will be now translated into dozens of languages and will provoke a whirlpool of anti-Western ideas, narratives, emerging one after another like mushrooms after the summer rain.
And some of those offspring ideologies will be even more successful and dangerous for the West than his own ideas.
That’s what you’ve done.
This death is much more than the death of Qasem Soleimani – albeit a similar coward act. Soleimani was a logical target, he was a fighter, not a theorist. However when you try to kill the idea, the idea will likely kill you.
Britain, your soft culture, your mainstream and ‘alternative’ crap, all your ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Jeeves and Wooster’, your BBC, your Harry Potter, your Tolkien and all your Gaydalfs are joke in comparison to the ancient dragon you’ve awakened. You’ve awakened the Balrog – trust me, I know what I’m saying.
Death of Darya Dugina is the death of Socrates. You and your degenerative culture will drown in her innocent blood.

For those who are completely unaware of what Alexander Dugin is all about and only heard from the Western media that he’s ‘a Russian fascist’, ‘Putin’s brain’, ‘Kremlin pundit’ etc. – he’s sort of amalgamation of European traditionalism (René Guénon most notably and all his disciples), German ‘conservative revolutionaries’ (most notably Martin Heidegger), continental school of geopolitics (Halford Mackinder, Karl Haushofer), Iranian mysticism (Ishraq school of Shihaboddin Yahya Suhravardi) and East-Orthodox mysticism.
He’s definitely not about ‘progress’, ‘positivism’, ‘space exploration’ etc., which is why I lost interest in all this stuff. At least he rarely wrote/said anything positive about that 15 years ago.
However it would be a significant underestimation to say that his ideas are negligible only because he’s a militant conservative.
After all there will never be any breakthrough to the stars if people don’t understand their most intimate self – how they think. And that’s what philosophy – and language (and hence – math) are all about.
As those of you who are educated enough may know, the human kind has largely been in a mental and cognitive deadlock since the emerging of quantum mechanics and relativity theory. The deadlock also apprehended by David Hilbert and proven by Goedel, who showed that ‘to find complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible’.
That’s why philosophers have to return over and over again to the fundamentals of thinking and ‘purely’ humanitarian non-scientific philosophy turns out to be a glimmer of hope where modern logic stumbles.
Dugin’s achievement and merit is that he rediscovered many thinkers and ideas largely forgotten by Russian and international public and showed that the mainstream Western ideology (no matter, ‘right’, ‘left’, ‘centrist’ etc.) is a pure perversion and a trap, that doesn’t solve any of modern critical cognitive problems but lures the human kind into the abyss of decay, mental decomposition and spiritual death.
