I'm no fan of Dugin or National Bolshevik Party or whatever the heck his ideology is these days, but I do think the extent to which he's called "Putin's Brain" is really exaggerated. I wonder if the car bomb was meant for him.
who is dugin? is he basically behind the patsoc thing? i know nothing about him and am going off of cursory google searches
Pasting from wikipedia here:
The comments Dugin made were in the wake of this event:https://www.dw.com/en/the-odessa-file-what-happened-on-may-2-2014/a-18425200Dugin's comments that got him fired (in Russian):--
AI Translation:"These fallen heroes in the house of trade unions, they have already made their decision. They fell for the freedom of the South-East of Ukraine from the neo-Nazi Kiev scum. I think that Ukrainian today to be, frankly, after that, I myself am Ukrainian, you know? I have… I have ancestors from Poltava. I'm ashamed. I'm just ashamed of that, but still a significant part of my blood. I want this blood to be purified of the blood of the scum, the Kiev junta, and I really cannot carry this Ukrainian blood in me until I see the executed bastards who committed lawlessness on May 2nd. This is serious.
It's the voice of blood. In fact, I wouldn't joke with such things. And I believe that these bastards have no right to some western Ukrainian statehood with the center of Kiev. I understand that the South-East will never be in this bastard state. But these people have no right to control even western Ukraine. And for them, as long as they are on the ground, as long as all the evil that we see is happening, no one will sleep peacefully. Therefore, in fact, only normal people should rule these beautiful, in fact, once beautiful Ukrainian people, this is a wonderful country with which everything connects us. It's just that as long as Kiev, while there are nits in Kiev, in fact, a Russian person, a person who comes from Kievan Rus, these are our roots, cannot exist peacefully. Either it really needs to be wiped off the face of the earth and rebuilt, or in fact people have to come to their senses. I think that in Ukraine, a total popular uprising is needed in all its territories, in all its regions.
An armed uprising against the junta. Not just in the Southeast. Otherwise, because the same thing can happen in Uzhgorod, and the Rusyns have already been occupied by the same young people, occupied the Ruthenian house where they gathered to solve their completely calm problems. The same thing is already hanging over the Hungarians, in Subcarpathian Rus, over the Russians, over everyone, in fact. So it is with ukrainians. Remember who Sanya Bily, the late, mocked? Over Ukrainians like him, in fact, these are not some foreigners at all. And what did he start doing? He was stopped. But now even more terrible people have come – we did not see the atrocities of Sani Bilogo, he just dragged some kind of tie, it was a very ugly scene. But what we're seeing on May 2nd is beyond the pale. And I think to kill, kill and kill. There should be no more talk. As a professor, I think so.
So he’s the ‘fiscally conservative socially liberal’ meme but flipped?
like a conservative who believes "Communism for me, but not for thee" like it's fucking weird. It ideologically doesn't make any sense nor can it work in real world conditions, yet some folks - in the void caused by the fall of the USSR - cling onto it as a possible viable alternative to the current state of Russia. Instead of actually turning back to communism weird enough.
So, Russian hogs that pretend to read theory?
or make up theory to read. I couldn't really say since my info's more second hand from someone who actually spent time reading dugin's stuff to figure out wtf he's on about. It's like supposedly local fascists orgs in Russia hate him, the communists seem ambivalent leaning to hating/disliking him, conservatives think he's like hot shit since it's essentially soviet nostalgia but for the russian people instead of the soviet peoples. or something like that.

He's often blamed on the patsoc thing/patsocs get called Duginists, I know Caleb Maupin has some connection to him but I don't think its that important, patsucc as a tendency was gonna rise with or without lineage to Dugin I'm pretty sure.
He’s a grifter who rode on the political climate of the 90s in Russia and was part of an artistic movement in the same era called the National Bolsheviks Party with Limonov.
It doesn’t take a political genius to see why Russians has revanchist tendency when you transformed them into the world’s gas station
