Dugin was deprived of his position at Moscow State University - he blames Surkov or Ukrainian agents
The famous Russian Eurasian philosopher Alexander Dugin was deprived of his position at Moscow State University under the influence of Ukrainian agents or at the request of former assistant to Russian President Vladislav Surkov.
Dugin himself stated this on the RT Russia television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The philosopher told how he lost his position as head of the department of sociology and international relations and left the university.
“There are two versions of this... I spoke very actively for Crimea, for Donbass, for Novorossiya. We invited Pushilin and Purgin to visit us at Moscow State University. I should have been promoted for this, it seems. But Ukrainian colleagues wrote at that moment on Change. org demand to remove me for Russian imperialism. Here our various liberal colleagues got involved, and their strength, when I was supposed to be approved once again at a university-wide meeting - all the documents were ready, for the head of the department.
I was approved, I received this document - a normal procedure, I didn’t even pay attention to it. Suddenly information comes that the decision has been revised - this is the first time in the history of Moscow State University that in fact we are not approving you. Without any justification. And this coincided precisely with the Ukrainian Change. org... My attempt to find out how this happens ended with the fact that the dean who invited me there was fired at that moment,” said Dugin.
To this, TV presenter Anton Krasovsky asked why Dugin did not turn to his influential friends, for example, Vladislav Surkov, who was then an assistant to the President of the Russian Federation.
“He's not my friend. I collaborated with him, but it is possible that it was thanks to him that everything happened. It’s possible, I don’t know. I spoke quite critically about him a couple of times. Everyone claims that he is a very vindictive person, but I really don't know. When I tried to ask my friends what was the matter, they told me: “It’s not clear. It's just not clear. In this situation, they should have supported all this patriotic support for patriotism, for “Crimea is ours”, for the “Russian Spring” and somehow even expanded this situation”...
I said it a couple of times, I don’t remember exactly. That he turns high patriotic ideas into postmodernism and a farce, that he breeds meaningless youth movements instead of creating a truly ideological, political project. So he talks about sovereign democracy - a great idea. Then I say: “Let's develop it further. Sovereign democracy is a good idea, a combination of sovereignty and democracy, let’s put it meaningfully there and there.”
He says: “It’s like the hit of the season - we talked, clicked and moved on to another,” Dugin added.
The philosopher also believes that Surkov scattered his efforts rather than bringing things to completion.
“He created these idiotic youth organizations. He created them to fight the orange networks, and at the moment when Bolotnaya Square began, there was no one there, absolutely no one. As soon as the money stopped coming. It was a simulacrum. Because he is a postmodernist, because this style is close to him.
...I got the impression that he was receiving some correct instructions from Putin, that let’s write, for example, a textbook on patriotism, for example. I wrote this textbook for him, he called back every chapter and said: “This needs to be corrected, my son is a little bored reading about your Socialist Revolutionaries, let’s do something more fun.”
But this is all normal, this is a working process, but as a result everything turned into nothing, into a simulacrum. Because they gave a couple more liberals a couple of chapters to finish. And the result was bullshit. And exactly the same with the youth movement - everything turned into a kind of mix...
Surkov really liked combining the incongruous. He says: “Well, I forced the liberal Friedman to raise a toast to the great Russia,” and we won’t call the patriot, on the contrary, talk about freedom and the rights of citizens. This was achieved." That is, it seems that these are the ideas of postmodernist “black snow”, “white darkness” - these are these postmodern Tarantino paradoxes, when one destroys the other, and a psychedelic effect is created. It seems to me that Vladislav Surkov has a very strong sympathy for psychedelics,” Dugin concluded.
