"Russian leaders particularly the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin wants to resurrect The Russian Empire", - said the Head of the Pentagon Robert Gates. As Gates puts it, these "imperialistic intensions obstruct the US-Russian relations". The United States Secretary of Defense also believes that the "imperialistic intensions" are more common for Putin than for Medvedev. The Prime Minister of Russia is trying to make Russia the main player in the international arena by all means. This fact is very disturbing for the USA. "Are the Russians doomed to a new attempt to build an Empire?" - asks a world-wide known British historian Professor Geoffrey Hosking in his recent book "Rulers and Victims - The Russians in The Soviet Union." Thus this worries the Brits as well - "what exactly will Russians choose - the present state with parts of its territory lost or a new empire?" - asks Hosking.
"Who is mister Putin?"
This question asked in the beginning of Putin’s career has been created during the transmutation of the political language of current Russia from Modern into the Post-Modern. In classical language Putin as a human being is an essence, a reality, a personality in the first place. Then he’s being understood inside the political context along his political actions. This is the approach for the Age of the Enlightenment: there is Vladimir Putin, a politician, a person with certain specifics, with certain roots, and there is also his system of evaluations and thoughts. This was true until the Epoch of the Post-Modern has come...

Russia's new imperialists. A new breed of Russian nationalist is warping history in disturbing ways
From 1920 to 1990, the Soviet Union was governed by totalitarian communists whose regime was inspired and legitimized by the writings of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and the numerous state-supported commentators who followed them. These writers believed that "scientific Marxism" (as they variously defined it) explained all aspects of human history and culture, including the origin and development of religion, kinship, ethnicity, nations and empires, as well as the dynamics of the economy, politics, the arts and psychology.
They also believed that this system of thought contained the laws of history and that these laws predicted the ultimate downfall of Western capitalism, individualism and liberal democracy, and the international triumph of communism based on an economy of central planning and collectivization. The fact that Russia and Russian-speaking communists dominated the Soviet Union and its Eastern European and Central Asian satellite states for 70 years was justified at that time by the fact that the revolution had been started in Russia by Russians -- they considered themselves "first among equals."
Serious historians and political scientists have since demonstrated the correlation between Marxist regimes and the systematic violation of human rights, including the deportation of dissidents to death camps and the Gulag. Russian and other Marxist regimes caused the deaths of millions of their own innocent citizens.
With the rise of Perestroika and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Empire in the early '90s, almost all Russian politicians and intellectuals rejected Marxism. One would think that the Russian and Turkic peoples of Central Asia would have proceeded by attempting to rewrite their history from an empirical, non-ideological point of view -- that they would have translated the works of Western, non-Marxist historians and anthropologists in an attempt to explain the strange and terrifying communist chapter of their history. They didn't.

Zivela Srbija! Kosovo je Srbija ! Hourrah !
Hello, my Serbian friends!
It is an honour for me, to write to you, from Moscow!
In a couple of days, we will be the 24th March 2009, a tragic day, as 10 years ago, a military coalition of the most powerful countries of the planet, federated through NATO, started a military bombing campaign of 78 days on Serbia, your Serbia.
Officially, this military operation has been set off in order to stop the ‘’slaughters’’, or should I say the so-called on going genocide supposedly taking place in Kosovo. Do you know that in France, the number of one million dead people has been quoted on the television news?

Dugin: Russia should consider war to head off Nabucco project
A leading Russian intellectual has called for war to crush the Nabucco pipeline project as a means of stopping attempts to decrease European dependency on Russian energy resources
Alexander Dugin, a Russian intellectual known in Turkey for his controversial support for the Ergenekon terrorist organization - support he later retracted to distance himself from being affiliated with terror - is in the spotlight again after commenting on the Nabucco natural gas pipeline project.
Speaking to the Eurasia.org news portal yesterday, Dugin said the Nabucco project aims to bypass Russia as an alternative gas route and must be prevented at all costs, even if that means waging war. "If a military intervention is needed, then it must be done. This is directly relevant to the geopolitics of natural gas, and all means are allowed in geopolitics," he said.
Dugin is strictly in favor of Russian expansionism and nationalism and is closely affiliated with the Kremlin and Russian military intelligence. He is a strong proponent of the restoration of the Russian Empire through a partitioning of the former Soviet republics and unification with Russian-speaking territories.
"We have to topple Nabucco and partition Ukraine. Ukraine has to be divided into two vassal states. We have to always be a step ahead of our rivals. If we step back on natural gas, this obliges us to step back in other fields, too. And this is impossible to accept," Dugin opined.
Conservative thinkers in Russia are not celebrating the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Instead, they are denouncing it as aggressive colonialism, yet another attempt to impose "Western" values on other cultures.
As the newly resurgent Russian state has asserted itself increasingly on the international stage, the conservative political elite has sought to flesh out something of an ideology that justifies the rejection of international institutions and Western criticism of political developments in Russia. In doing so, it has revived the 19th-century tsarist mantra of "Orthodoxy, autocracy, and nationality."
"I am deeply convinced that the conception of human rights varies from one culture to another, from one society to another, inasmuch as the very concept of the person varies," says political scientist Aleksandr Dugin, who heads the Center for Conservative Studies at Moscow State University and is a leading public proponent of the new Russian conservatism.
In Russian culture, Dugin says, a "collective anthropology" has predominated, meaning that the individual can only fully realize his or her potential when functioning as part of the entire society. The Russian conception of human rights does not include "the right to sin," meaning that society, especially in the form of the Russian Orthodox Church and the central state, has an obligation to protect itself as a means of protecting the rights of its citizens.
In his lecture in Moscow Alain de Benoist focused mainly on the topic of globalization and expansion of liberalism
The Centre for Conservative Research of Moscow State University (MSU) Faculty of Sociology gains stronger and stronger position among scholars and researchers. It cooperates with different universities and think-tanks, both Russian and international. As it was planned, the scale of enterprises endeavored by the Centre step-by-step becomes global.
On the November 24th, the Centre for Conservative Research organized at the MSU Faculty of Sociology a lecture of a well-known French philosopher, geopolitics theoretician, and founder of «New Right» movement Alain de Benoist. Among listeners were MSU students as well as members of Movement of Eurasian Youth. As it was planned, a large MSU lecture-hall become so crowded, that some people had to stand or sit on the floor. Numerous students, Eurasian movement activists, the Faculty of Sociology tutors, and journalists gathered to listen the lecture and ask French thinker a number of different questions.
The lecture, simultaneously translated to Russian, was dedicated to the inter-civilization problems of relations between states and nations. Alain de Benoist focused mainly on the topic of globalization and expansion of liberalism understood as an unified meta-ideology. He pointed out a paradox of contemporary liberalism, which is, according to de Benoist, more radical than communist ideology in the area of pursuing many aims that communists failed to achieve.
In his vast lecture, Alain de Benoist paid special attention to the task of proper understanding the terms «globalization» and «modern times», and defining their identity and main characteristics. He underlined such a qualities of globalization as abolition of time and space. As an example he gave the destruction of the New York Twin Towers (World Trade Centre) in September, 2001. According to de Benoist, during those events all the world borders became obsolete. All of the world population was able to watch the terrorist act simultaneously, and that fact largely influenced the world’s history. Planes and fast trains, as well as other contemporary means of transport, played a revolutionary role, completely abolishing the influence that space factor renders on the humanity.

Introduction to the Portuguese National-Syndicalist Movement
Lecture delivered at the VI Young Eurasian Intellectuals Congress in the Moscow State University, 27th of November, 2008, Russia
When we mention National-Syndicalism people always remember the Spanish version and ignore the Portuguese version of the phenomenon, pushed by Rolao Preto and many other Portuguese activists.
National-Syndicalism was hated by both the New State dictatorship in Portugal and by the Communist opposition; the Communists like to forget that they were not the only political movement prosecuted by the government.
I will not give you the History of this movement, but solely it’s political leanings that caused it’s members to be considered as “Fascists” by the Left and as “Communists” by the Right.
It was a workers oriented movement that also had many intellectuals, they wore blue jean shirts because those were the shirts the Portuguese proletariat used at the time.
They defended the implementation of a family wage to the housewife’s, considering that taking care of one’s home and family was a very hard and important work that should be paid as such.
The leader of Russia's Eurasia party, Alexander Dugin, believed to be a supporter of the Ergenekon terror organization, has dismissed all such allegations, saying that he has no affiliation whatsoever with the group.
In his dismissal of the claims, Dugin responded to the contention that through his work with the Eurasia movement he had inspired or provided support to Ergenekon, an illegal crime network in Turkey with links to that nation's deep state. He explained away his meetings with key Ergenekon figures by saying that they merely met to discuss the Eurasia movement.
"These meetings did not go beyond intellectual inquiries. I have never heard of this organization. I have never advocated Ergenekon. It is completely untrue that I have served as a mediator with the Russian intelligence establishment for these people. I said I could appear in the hearings to say that I had no connection with Ergenekon. I never said I would support the members of Ergenekon organization. I am saying this again; I am ready to present myself to the court to deny the allegations against me," he emphasized.
Moscow occupied a central place in the media coverage of Turkey's investigation into Ergenekon because Levent Ersöz, the former head of the gendarmerie intelligence department who was also the alleged sales director of Rosoboronexport, a Russian arms exporter, fled to Russia when he was indicted as a suspect in the Ergenekon case. News reports alleging that Dugin expressed support for Ergenekon followed Ersöz's escape. Dugin, a professor at Moscow State University who argues that the unipolar international system created by the US at the end of the Cold War is no longer economically or geopolitically significant, spoke to Today's Zaman and stressed that he had only learned of the Ergenekon from the press.

Russia’s New - and Frightening - "Ism"
In recent years, a new ideology has gained adherents among Russian elites: “Eurasianism,” the belief that Russia must reassert its dominance over the Eurasian landmass. John B. Dunlop offers an unsettling assessment of the work of Aleksandr Dugin, the leading Eurasianist theorist.
Few books published in Russia during the post-communist period have exerted such an influence on Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites as Aleksandr Dugin’s 1997 neo-fascist treatise Osnovy geopolitiki: Geopoliticheskoe budushchee Rossii (Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geo-political Future of Russia). The impact of this intended “Eurasianist” textbook on key Russian elites testifies to the worrisome rise of fascist ideas and sentiments during the late Yeltsin and the Putin periods.
Five years before President George W. Bush announced his “axis of evil,” Dugin had introduced three key neo-Eurasian axes: Moscow-Berlin, Moscow-Tokyo, and Moscow-Tehran. The basic principle underlying these three axes was said to be “a common enemy,” by which he meant the United States.
The Moscow-Berlin Axis
According to Dugin, as a result of a grand alliance to be concluded between Russia and Germany, the two countries will divide up into spheres of influence all the territories lying between them, with no “sanitary cordon.” Dugin proposes that Germany be offered political dominance over most Protestant and Catholic states located within Central and Eastern Europe and that Kaliningrad be returned to Germany as part of this bargain.
INTERVIEW WITH JUAN-ANTONIO LLOPART | Spain eurasianist | 12.11.2008
INTERVIEW WITH JUAN-ANTONIO LLOPART
aequitasetlibertas on 21 Mar 2008
Juan-Antonio Llopart Senent is 33 years old, married and the father of a child. He works in a record distribution company. Since his adolescence, his life has been closely related to Spanish Revolutionary Nationalism. A member of the Unified Secretariat of the European Liberation Front, he directs the Spanish Republican Social League (in the past, European Alternative) and Tribune magazine. He is the author of the book, “Ledesma Ramos, A National Bolshevik?” and is currently preparing a work on the “fascist left” in Spain.
*****
QUESTION: Juan-Antonio Llopart, tell us about your militant past.
LLOPART: I joined the Youth Front at 16. After its dissolution, I was an activist in Barcelona for the Falangist Movement of Spain until 1986. Estimating that it was sterile to continue to fight under the label ‘falangist’, I then founded the Solidaristic Autonomous Movement which amalgamated with various other small groups to give rise to the Solidaristic Third Way. We published a Spanish version of European Revolution and were more or less the Hispanic branch of the French Third Way Movement. This movement entered a period of crisis in 1990. I then joined, with some other members, the group Avant Garde. At the same time I was the person in charge of the National Front Youth in Barcelona. This didn’t last very long because of the impossibility of working as a NR within a Spanish nationalist right party. I then contributed to the creation of the European Alternative.
QUESTION: Why was this group created?
LLOPART: I was with former members of the Solidaristic Third Way who had joined the Avant Garde. This group evolved from revolutionary nationalism to the nationalist right, successively becoming the Institute of Social Studies then National Democracy.
This evolution we did not accept. We wanted to work with an alternative that was national revolutionary, socialist and European. The size of the movement was not important to us and it still isn’t. What was important to us was the quality of our militants and their fidelity to our ideas.
QUESTION: What are the ideological bases of the Republican Social League (LSR)?
LLOPART: We refer mainly to the revolutionary national-syndicalism of Ramiro Ledesma Ramos, founder of the JONS. We are also indebted to German revolutionary nationalists like Paetel or Jünger, and with the doctrinal contributions of Jean Thiriart. It is also significant to announce the influence on the LSR of Iberian-American Third Way movements like the Justicialismo of Peron or the Aprisme of Haya de la Torre.
