Where can you find doctors who could cure Dugin?

To understand who Alexander Dugin is — often described as “Russia’s main philosopher” — it is enough to look briefly at his biography.

 

During his studies, he was expelled in his second year. At a young age, he became involved in marginal radical circles, including the so-called “Black Order of the SS,” where he adopted extravagant titles. He later joined the Yuzhinsky Circle, an informal group that many researchers associate with the emergence of ultranationalist and neo-fascist ideas in post-Soviet Russia.

 

In the following years, Dugin collaborated with other far-right organizations but was eventually expelled from some of them due to internal conflicts and ideological extremism, including controversial esoteric interests.

 

From an early stage, his intellectual development took place far outside the framework of academic philosophy or democratic political thought. Decades later, this same figure became one of the most frequently cited ideologues of Russia’s contemporary imperial and revisionist worldview.

 

This trajectory raises serious questions — not of a medical nature, but about the intellectual foundations and ideological sources shaping modern Russian state narratives.
