Alexander Dugin's civilizational war rhetoric

Overview

Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin has increasingly framed the ongoing conflict between Russia and the West as a fundamental civilizational struggle. He noted that the original intent of the ‘Special Military Operation’—a limited action to secure sovereignty in the post-Soviet space—shifted after the failure to capture Kyiv in May 2022. This transition, supported by remarks from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov regarding Western involvement in Kyiv, has altered Russian political and social perceptions of the conflict.

Dugin has further warned that a military confrontation with the West is ‘almost inevitable’ and that the risk of nuclear escalation is ‘very probable.’ As a survival strategy, he has proposed a massive relocation of the Russian population from major metropolitan areas like Moscow and Saint Petersburg to rural regions to mitigate the impact of potential nuclear strikes on large cities.
