Since I'm a Kyivan, I must admit that I'm somewhat biased when it comes to the likes of Dugin and Surkov, but they're pretty unpopular in Russia as well. I was chatting with my Russian friend today (who lives in Novosibirsk!) and I asked what he thinks about Dugin. I was a little surprised when he told me hasn't the slightest idea who that is. So Dugin is considered a fascist, proponent of racial politics and just bug-shit crazy by Russians here's a link Дугин (https://lurkmore.to/Дугин) to a very popular Russian website, I'm deliberately not using any Ukrainian sources.) One of the thing he had tried to do is to unite Russian Orthodoxy and Thelema, that's why Russians don't like him so much. By the way, famous and somewhat controversial Protodeacon of the Russian Orthodox Church, Andrey Kuraev, believes that there are "occult elements" in Dugin’s views and considers Dugin “more dangerous than any Blavatsky because (he’s smarter and more educated)” and that he wants to turn Russian Orthodoxy into Cabala. He doesn’t like Dugin’s “Revolutionary terror” ideology either. (http://ronsslav.com/o-evraziystve-i-dugine-mnenie-andreya-kuraeva/). Dugin saw Nazis in every corner of Ukraine not so long ago, just like most democrats see them in every person wearing the MAGA hat. Well, it turned out that Ukrainians are very strange kind of Nazis who voted for the Jewish president (our prime minister is also Jewish). Russian propaganda used pictures from movie sets about WWII to prove the rise of neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Here's one of his views: "I am a supporter of black people. White civilization; their cultural values, false, dehumanizing model of the world, built by them - did not pay off. Everything goes to the beginning of the anti-white pogroms on a planetary scale. Russia saved only by the fact that we are not pure white. Predatory multinational corporations, oppression and suppression of all others, MTV, gays and lesbians - this is the fruit of white civilization, from which it is necessary to get rid of. So I am for reds, yellows, greens, blacks - but not for whites. I wholeheartedly on the side of the people of Zimbabwe." (https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/336905) Yes, let's get rid of whites！ When it comes to Surkov, who believes that there's no such state as Ukraine, well, I don't think he even worth wasting my time. I liked the bit about Jesi. This exchange is from TV show “American Gods” Mr. Wednesday: "You've got your White, Jesuit-style Jesus, your Black African Jesus, your Mexican Jesus, and your swarthy Greek Jesus." Shadow: "That's a lot of Jesus." Mr. Wednesday: "Well there's a lot of need for Jesus, so there is a lot of Jesus." So it's even in American pop-culture. Kyivan - 基辅罗斯人
