Putin’s Path to Right-Wing Anti-Capitalism

Alexander Dugin discusses Putin’s recent statements, unearthing a new ideology of right-wing anti-capitalism and its potential implications for Russia’s political landscape.

Putin’s criticism of capitalism during his Valdai speech, as well as a series of other brightly coloured ideological statements by the head of state, is a very serious event. Putin is a pragmatist and realist, and he has tried to stay as far away from ideology as possible throughout his rule. This was his signature style: no ideological preferences and, on the contrary, restraint of any ideological extremes. This is related, in particular, to the complete incoherence of United Russia, where a large black hole adorns the place of an idea.
