Just Who is Daria Dugina’s Father, Described by West as ‘Putin’s Chief Ideologue’?_我的网站

一 |     Western media have spared no time in squeezing hype and sensationalism from the grizzly killing of Daria Dugina, with article after article on her death characterizing the late 29-year-old journalist’s father Alexander as Vladimir Putin’s “ally,” “closest aide,” or even the “brain” behind the Russian president’s geostrategic thinking.,Who is Mr. Dugin?,Dugin, 60, has been on the radar of Western mainstream media for nearly a decade, and since the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis in 2014 has often been described as a key Russian political thinker with close ties to the Kremlin or even with Putin personally – claims which are shaky at best and tabloid-level speculation at worst.,From Existential to Mystical: Tension With Russia Gets Dugin Aspect in West5 September 2015, 17:19 GMT,The thinker and academic first emerged on the Russian political scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when he marked opposition to the liberal, pro-Western political, social, and economic reforms being carried out by Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin.,In 1993, Dugin co-founded the National Bolshevik Party (NBP) – a radical political and counterculture movement seeking to fuse the seemingly irreconcilable – ultranationalism and communism, together with dissident Eduard Limonov and underground musician Egor Letov. The party became known for its "direct action" activities, including attacks on politicians and other public figures across the post-Soviet space, occupations of government buildings and party offices to protest neoliberalism, economic reforms, graft, NATO expansionism, and other issues. The NBP was eventually banned by Russian courts in 2007 over its radical activities.,Dugin left the NBP in 1998 amid irreconcilable differences with Limonov, and became an advisor to Communist Party politician and then-Duma Chairman Gennady Seleznev. During this period, he became head of the "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" on national security issues in the Duma, and lectured on geopolitics for the Russian General Staff.,From the late 1990s onward, Dugin became a proponent of Eurasianism – a highly eclectic ideology consisting of a nationalism, Orthodox faith, socialist and anti-modernist ideas and views, mysticism, and marked opposition to US-style social liberalism and capitalism.,In 2009, Dugin penned the Fourth Political Theory, a treatise akin to late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s Green Book on a “new” political ideology designed to succeed the 20th century ideologies of Western-style liberalism, socialism, and fascism in light of the challenges posed by Western postmodernism. The latter was described in his book as a “morbid blend of the society of the spectacle and consumer culture” seeking “ultimate world domination” upon which a “war” must be waged.,RussiaMoscow: If 'Ukraine's Trace' Found in Dugina's Death, It'll Point at Kiev's State Terrorism PolicyYesterday, 09:05 GMT,Putin’s 'Aide, Ally and Brain'?,While some of Mr. Dugin’s views may superficially resemble those of the Russian president – especially as the latter are often interpreted by Western mainstream media painting him as a far-right or far-left radical, a closer inspection reveals crucial, narrative-breaking differences.,For one thing, Putin is not a socialist, and the Russian government’s policies have been firmly rooted in free market principles throughout his tenure in office. Secondly, unlike Dugin, who holds the USSR up on a pedestal as an expression of the “Russian dream,” and who has praised Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin at length, Putin has distanced himself from the USSR and consistently criticized the Bolsheviks’ policies, especially Lenin, blaming the revolutionary for the “time bombs” he says were placed under Russia, which culminated in the Soviet Union’s destruction.,Putin, unlike Dugin, has not advocated for a “Eurasianist” approach to relations with Russia’s neighbors, rejecting the latter’s vision of an empire stretching from the Far East to the shores of the Atlantic in favor of close trade and economic ties with the European Union, and the formation of a multipolar world order in which the sovereignty and freedom of national development trajectories of states both big and small are respected.,RussiaPutin: Collective West Purposely Destroying European Security System, NATO Moving East16 August, 07:08 GMT,Far from being a Kremlin loyalist or mouthpiece, Dugin has regularly criticized Putin and the Russian government over what he perceives as their shortcomings. In 2014, Dugin called for a tougher line in the crisis in Donbass, while Moscow sought to hammer out a negotiated settlement, with his criticisms ultimately contributing to his dismissal from his professorship at Moscow State University the same year. Dugin has also attacked Russia’s elites over their overly fragmented nature and susceptibility to Western influence. In a 2019 interview, Dugin praised Putin for “saving Russia,” but added that he felt that “none of his successes have reached a point of irreversibility.”,In a 2015 interview, Dugin revealed that he did not know the Russian president personally, had no influence over him, and never received a reply to any of the letters he had sent to the president.,If Not ‘Putin’s Brain’, Then Who?,Dugin is not “Putin’s brain,” nor his aide, secret counsel, or mentor. What he is is a leading Russian intellectual, political philosopher, and contemporary thinker who emerged to prominence during the turbulent years of the collapse of the USSR, and has managed to stay politically and publicly relevant for more than 30 years.。

Starting Wednesday, home-made C919 aircraft will fly a daily international route from Beijing to Ulan Bator in Mongolia, marking the first routine international passenger service for the Chinese-built jet.
According to Air China's official App, the flight will depart Beijing Capital International Airport at 3 pm and arrive in Ulan Bator at 5:15 pm local time. The return flight will leave Ulan Bator at 6:30 pm and arrive in Beijing at 8:35 pm.
The C919 is a narrow-body passenger aircraft with a maximum capacity of 192 seats. It is China's first self-developed trunk jetliner, built in accordance with international airworthiness standards and featuring independently registered intellectual property rights.
The newly launched direct flight route is not merely the inauguration of a new commercial route, but also a milestone that marks the official entry of China's homegrown large aircraft into the international civil aviation transport market, Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times on Tuesday. 
In his view, Ulan Bator, roughly 1,200 kilometers from Beijing, is a natural choice for the inaugural route. Its manageable distance allows for same-day round trips, meaning domestic technical support can be on hand quickly during the initial phase. That not only ensures safety and efficiency but also helps build know-how for international operations - all in keeping with a prudent, pragmatic approach to growth.
What matters more, though, is the practical value this route brings, Wang noted. Mongolia's highland climate - with its short summers and harsh winters - poses fresh challenges for failure patterns, maintenance procedures, and spare parts stocking. 
Yet it is only by operating in such varied conditions that we can collect real data, test the aircraft's adaptability, and refine a robust support framework; ultimately, it is through weathering these diverse environments that China's large aircraft will earn its global operational credentials, according to Wang. 
The C919 has already accumulated operational experience on regional routes. It completed its first commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing on May 28, 2023. On New Year's Day 2025, China Eastern Airlines became the first carrier to deploy the C919 on scheduled flights between Shanghai and Hong Kong. In November 2025, Air China also began operating the C919 on regular flights between Beijing and Hong Kong.
The C919 has safely transported more than 5 million passenger trips since entering commercial service three years ago, and has reached 23 cities in its flight network, its producer the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China said on its official WeChat account on May 28 this year.
