My Take
Dugin is not someone I can discuss in terms of liking, but he is impossible to dismiss. As the leading theorist of Russian neo-Eurasianism, his writings like Foundations of Geopolitics have demonstrably shaped how a nation imagines its place in the world. I find that genuinely unsettling, the idea that ideas hammered out in one man's study can ripple into state policy. I don't endorse his worldview, but as an editor I respect the need to understand minds whose influence outstrips their fame. He is a reminder that thought, for better or worse, is never harmless.
