Putin's two philosophical influencers. Dugin and Ilyan. [View all]

Alexandre Dugin is still alive and believes that Russian should rule Ireland to Vladivostok.He contends truth is relavtive to one's experience and the West has it's truth and Russia has it's own.

ivan-ilyin was a Russian fascist of the '30s and '40s who espoused imperial Russia and is now where Putin gets his inspiration for taking Ukraine and more, and also for cleansing certain elements in society...very Stalinistic.

Both are scary and Pustin is even more dangerous than we thought.
