Aleksandr Dugin, the philosopher considered the key ideologist of the “Russian world,” has warned that Russia could follow the fate of Iran after the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Dugin has posted several alarming messages on Telegram, reports Dialog<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The final bell has rung for Russia,”<\/i> wrote Dugin, anticipating a scenario similar to Iran’s for the Kremlin. “I believe the strategy of creating the impression that everything is fine in Russia and that life continues in peace has been exhausted. We are next… Globally, everything depends on how much the IRGC can resist. If Iran resists, everything could turn bad. If it collapses, we follow,”<\/i> added the philosopher, known as the Z-philosopher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dugin expressed his admiration for the swift and decisive decisions of American President Donald Trump, but labeled him as “pure evil”<\/i> for eliminating the Iranian regime. At the same time, he called for immediate militarization, massive personnel rotations, and mobilization, which he says the Russian government “does not want to do.”<\/i><\/p>\n

He also proposed renaming the aggression against Ukraine as “Sword of Katechon,”<\/i> believing that this gesture could change the course of the war and allow Russia to achieve real victories.<\/p>\n

Rhetorically asked what would happen if the West repeated the operation on Russia and eliminated Vladimir Putin, Aleksandr Dugin asked: “Excuse my audacity, but I will ask the obvious question. Are we prepared for such a scenario? Do we have a protocol? Do we have a solid structure that can keep Russia afloat if something happens?”<\/i><\/p>\n

Dugin’s messages reflect the fears of the Russian ideological elite, in the context of destabilizing authoritarian regimes after Western military operations in Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
