Duginism is the personal ideology and 
philosophy of 
Russian 
political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, creator of the 
Fourth Theory, leading thinker of 
Eurasianism in the modern day, and best known for his radical 
nationalist and 
anti-liberal views. He is very 
ultranational and mystic.
History
Early Life
Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin (Александр Гельевич Дугин) was born on 7 January 1962 in 
Moscow, into a family with deep roots in the 
Soviet military establishment. His father left the family when Aleksandr was just three, but still he ensured that they had a good standard of living, and helped Aleksandr out of trouble with the 
authorities on occasion. He was transferred to the customs service due to his son's behaviour in 1983.
Underground Years
In 1979, Aleksandr enrolled at the Moscow Aviation Institute. His time there was short. He was expelled and left without a degree. Accounts differ as to whether the cause was poor academic performance, his dissident activities, or both. What followed was an unusual interlude: Aleksandr took work as a street cleaner. He used a forged reader's card to gain access to the 
Lenin Library, where he devoured texts far outside the 
official Soviet curriculum. Some accounts suggest he also worked in a 
KGB archive, where he had access to banned literature on 
Freemasonry, 
fascism, and the 
paganism.
In 1980, Dugin joined the 
Yuzhinsky Circle, an avant-garde 
dissident group which dabbled in 
Satanism, 
esoteric Nazism and other forms of the 
occult. In the group, he was known for his embrace of 
Nazism which Dugin himself attributes to a rebellion against his Soviet raising, as opposed to genuine sympathy for 
Hitler. There, he adopted an alter ego with the name of "Hans Sievers", a reference to 
Wolfram Sievers, a Nazi researcher of the 
paranormal.
Studying by himself, Dugin learned to speak 
Italian, 
German, 
French, 
English and 
Spanish. Dugan became influenced by 
René Guénon and the 
Traditionalist School. In the State Library he discovered the writings of 
Julius Evola, whose book Pagan Imperialism he translated into 
Russian.
Political Awakening and the Late Soviet Period
By the mid-1980s, Dugin had begun to move beyond the purely 
esoteric 
milieu of the Yuzhinsky Circle and into more explicitly political waters. The loosening of ideological controls under 
Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost created new opportunities for dissident thought, and Dugin seized them eagerly. He established contact with figures on the 
European 
far-right, most notably 
Alain de Benoist. Through these contacts, Dugin began to absorb the doctrine of the 
Conservative Revolution, drawing heavily on the works of 
Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, 
Ernst Jünger, and 
Carl Schmitt.
In 1988, Dugin co-founded the 
Pamyat 
nationalist movement alongside Dmitri Dmitriyevich Vasilyev, though his association with the group proved short-lived. Pamyat's crude 
antisemitism and 
Russian ethnic nationalism sat uneasily with Dugin's increasingly sophisticated and syncretic ideological project, and he departed the organisation within a year. The experience was nonetheless formative, giving him his first taste of organised political activity and public agitation.

Notes
- ↑ It is theorized by some that Dugin is a unique kind of sophisticated troll, and that his
philosophy and 
ideology are actually just multilayered 
satire, akin to the "
Lenin was a mushroom" hoax.
