If you justify the genocide in Gaza, or the war crimes committed by Israel and the IDF, you are not welcome here.

If you justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine, you are not welcome here.

If you justify any other oppressor or occupier, you are not welcome here.

Any apologism result a ban, settler colonialism and genocide are not a matter of opinion.

This was published in 1997 and putin was following it with some minor changes (they didn't anticipate China to grow so big) until 2022 where things did not go exactly according to plan.

Also book by Prof. Snyder "Road to U freedom: Russia, Europe, America" talks about putin and helps understanding him what he is after.

I read that summary and it doesn't have anything to do with restoring the Soviet Union.

Dugin appears to be putting forward a Russian neoconservatism.

Do I need to explain how different those things are?

If you said "Putin wants to return to the martial might of the Romanov dynasty of the 17th century" that would be more convincing and accurate, although still missing a lot.

Well you didn't read the book, just summary, so here is a video that says a bit more: https://youtu.be/Q9MSV9Bp35Y

Also the mentioned Prof. Snyder's book, Road to Unfreedom answers why it is so important to putin.

I watched the video. I honestly wasn't very impressed with the presentation.

Either way it's clear Dugin had some hits and misses. Seems like he correctly called Georgia, Ukraine, and possibly the former austro-hungarian countries, whereas he seems to have missed on Germany, the Baltics, and China

It's also abundantly clear that he is not a Leninist, all his arguments keep on hearkening back to tradition and culture and religion, whereas I don't see any discussion of class or labor relations at all.

Wanting to create a pan-Eurasian bloc of traditional societies is...not the USSR
