EndKampf

Following on the tradition of the “Polaires Brotherhood” and “Red Shambhala,” Dugin has shaped Russian foreign policy according to his millenarian and Kabbalistic fantasy of fulfilling the End Times prophecies, by consciously advancing a diametrical version of the neoconservatives’ Clash of Civilizations, the most modern adaptation of the Hegelian Dialectic. Dugin’s counter-agenda to the neoconservative Clash of Civilizations is a dialectic that pits the denizens of Atlantis against those of Hyperborea. Jafe Arnold has demonstrated that one of the most central sources to be found in Dugin’s early publications is Herman Wirth, who co-founded the Ahnenerbe with Himmler in 1935, and who was Evola’s main source for his Hyperborean hypothesis.[1] Wirth, Guénon, and Evola were all inspired in their Hyperborean speculations of Bal Gangadhar Tilak’s immensely influential 1903 work The Arctic Home in the Vedas.

In addition to the Nazi occultism inspired by the Morning of the Magicians, Evola was is inspired  by Guénon vision of a conspiracy of “counter-initiatic” forces, wherein he accused Aleister Crowley of having staged his suicide in order to become a “secret advisor” to Hitler.[2] Guénon consistently insisted the Primordial Tradition “to be Nordic, and even more exactly to be polar, since this is expressly affirmed in the Veda as well as in other sacred books.”[3] However, Guénon repeatedly insisted that Hyperborea and the “Hyperborean tradition” should not be conflated with Atlantis and the “Atlantean Tradition,” which he considered representative of the “counter-initiatic” doctrines.[4] Evola also followed Guénon in arguing for precedence for Hyperborea, and specifically associated the Nordic Tradition with the “traditional civilizations of the Indo-European area,” which occupied a central position in Evola’s narratives on “spiritual racialism.”[5]

These ideas inspired Dugin to imagine a confrontation between the democratic and liberal West, or the “Order of Atlantis,” against the “Order of Eurasia,” as spanning across centuries and millennia, and as the main underlying “conspirological” factor of history. However, as Dugin notes, this confrontation should not be over-simplified as merely a struggle between “good” and “evil.” Rather, they are two aspects of a dualist struggle that is necessary for the unfolding of history. Therefore, explains Dugin:

…strictly speaking, claiming that Eurasia is good and Atlantis is bad, or that Rome is good while Carthage is evil, and vice versa, is impossible. Everyone called by their Order must take a decisive step and serve precisely their Order. The laws of our world are not determined, but depend on the outcome of the Great Battle, the outcome of the drama of “Eurasia versus the Atlantic,” and depend on the totality of planetary solidarity on the part of all of those called to service, all of the soldiers of geopolitics, and all of the secret agents of Land and Sea. The outcome of this cosmological war of Apollon with the Python depends on each of us, whether we are aware of it or not.[6]

According to Dugin, we cannot choose the “right” side of the eschatological struggle. Each flank is destined to play their respective role. Because, as Dugin notes, as concerns the Final Times, it is said that “even the chosen will be seduced.” Dugin concludes:

Yes, our enemies have their own truth. Yes, we should respect their deep metaphysical choice… But in doing so we should not lose our resoluteness, our rage, our cold and passionate Cruelty. We will be forgiving only when our Continent will be free… Judging by certain signs, “the Time is at hand.” The Endkampf, the Final Battle, should burst here and now. Are you ready, gentlemen of the “Polar Order”? Are you ready, soldiers of Eurasia? Are you ready, wise strategists of the GRU? Are you ready, great peoples, having made your bet by the very fact of your birth?[7]

Like Parvulesco, Dugin believes that we were at the precipice of the End Times. According to Dugin, all religious traditions describe the End Times as the Last Battle, as the final struggle. Different traditions interpret this conflict in different ways. For Orthodox Christians, Judaism is considered to be the religion of the Antichrist, while for Jews the “gentile-Christians from the northern country of the King of Gog” are the concentration of eschatological “evil.” The Hindus believe that the Tenth Avatar will destroy the Buddhists, while the Buddhists are awaiting the Buddha of Forthcoming Times, the Savior of Maitreya.[8]

To Dugin, we are now living in the Endkampf, the German word for “battle of the end,” recognized by numerous faiths around the world. Since 1962, devout Jews in Israel have lived in a special “End time,” in the “time of the Messiah.” America is striving to establish a New World Order. Muslims are expecting the Mahdi. The Hindus are expecting the world to further decline as the Kali-Yuga, or Age of Darkness, progresses. The racist messianism of the world’s neo-Nazis are experiencing a revival. Catholics await the Last Pope (Flos Florum) and the Orthodox the Last Patriarch. Buddhists believe the modern Dalai Lama is their last. China is transfixed in mystical expectation. And, the Soviet Union collapsed suddenly and unexpectedly.[9]

Dugin’s intended goal is nothing less than helping to bring about the End of the World, which is dependent, he believes, on the implementation of his ideology. As Dugin proclaimed in his recent book, The Fourth Political Theory:

The end times and the eschatological meaning of politics will not realise themselves on their own. We will wait for the end in vain. The end will never come if we wait for it, and it will never come if we do not. This is essential because history, time, and reality have special strategies to avoid Judgment Day, or rather, they have a special strategy of a reversionary manoeuvre that will create the impression that everyone has come to a realisation and an understanding. This is the huge arsenal of Heidegger’s noch nicht, or eternal ‘not yet…’ If the Fourth Political Practice is not able to realise the end of times, then it would be invalid. The end of days should come; but it will not come by itself. This is a task, it is not a certainty. It is active metaphysics. It is a practice.[10]

Dugin has developed an “eschatological ecclesiology” expounded in his book, Absoliutnaia Rodina (“The Absolute Homeland”), which takes an opposite view of the role of Gog and Magog, and presents an interpretation of history diametrically opposed to the American Evangelicals and their supposed alliance with Western liberalism. Ultimately, the Clash of Civilizations is an apocalyptic scenario, interpreted as a showdown between the forces of light, represented by Western democracy, against the forces of darkness, represented by Islam in alliance with Russia, characterized as Gog and Magog. In the early nineteenth century, some rabbis of Hasidism, a Jewish sect that also derived from Sabbateanism, identified Napoleon’s invasion of Russia as “The War of Gog and Magog.”[11] However, as the century progressed, apocalyptic expectations waned as Europe began to adopt an increasingly secular worldview. This was not the case in the United States, where a 2002 poll indicated that 59% of Americans believed the events predicted in the Book of Revelation would come to pass.[12]

Ezekiel 38:2–3, 39:1 mentions, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him.” Rosh, “Ros,” “RwV” in the Greek of the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint, is the ancient name for Russia. During the Cold War the idea that Russia had the role of Gog gained popularity, since Ezekiel’s words describing him as “prince of Meshek” sounded suspiciously like Russia and Moscow.[13] Even some Russians took up the idea, apparently undisturbed by the implications, as did Ronald Reagan.[14] Millenarians during the post Cold War era still identify Gog with Russia, but they now tend to stress its allies among Islamic nations, especially Iran.[15]

Similar expectations were expressed by George W. Bush. In the lead-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Bush told French president Jacques Chirac, “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East.” In what sounded like a conflation of New Age and Evangelical teachings, he urged the French leader, “This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase His people’s enemies before a new age begins.”[16] Chirac consulted a professor at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Lausanne to explain Bush’s reference.[17] Chirac wondered, “how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs.”[18] In that same year, Bush is also said to have told the Palestinian minister of affairs that with his invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, he was on a divine mission and had received orders from God himself.[19]

Conspirology

Dugin’s End Times expectations were derived from his mentor, Jean Parvulesco, who expanded on Saint-Yves d’Alveydre’s synarchist concept of a united Europe to build his prophecy for Eurasia. According to Dugin, “The Order of Eurasia is the complete Conservative Revolution, the Great Revival of geopolitical consciousness.”[20] Combined with the ideas of Parvulesco, Dugin revived the geopolitics of Mackinder, Haushofer and Carl Schmitt to produce a Eurasian agenda as a new justification for the age-old aspirations of Russian imperialism. Calling it “conspirology,” derived from Parvulesco, Dugin dismisses the typical notion of a “Judeo-Masonic” conspiracy, in favor of an interpretation of political history involving a “geopolitical conspiracy” that pits an Atlantic Order against the Eurasian Order. According to Dugin, as an Englishman, Mackinder was an “Atlanticist,” and acknowledged the danger of a Eurasian union and urged the government of England to prevent such an alliance.

This distinction was further developed from Carl Schmitt’s Kabbalistic land/sea dichotomy to elaborate his own interpretation of geopolitical history.[21] In modern times, the epitome of “land” power is Russia, along with the Central European Austro-Hungarian and German empires. The West is identified with Atlanticism and opposes Eurasianism. “The Eurasian orientation in character,” according to Dugin, “is primarily pronounced in Russia and Germany, the two most powerful continental powers whose geopolitical, economic, and, most importantly, deep ideological interests are fully opposed to the interests of England and the USA, that is, the Atlanticists.”[22] As Dugin eerily summarized:

Order of Eurasia against Order of Atlantic (Atlantides).
Eternal Rome against Eternal Carthago.
Occult punic war invisibly continuing during millennia.
Planetary conspiracy of Land against the Sea, Earth against Water, Authoritarianism and Idea against Democracy and Matter.[23]

Dugin’s core idea is that the “liberalism” of the West represents an assault on the traditional hierarchical organization of the world. The first principles of the Eurasian geopolitics, Dugin reports, were formulated by the Russian anti-communist White émigré community connected to the Aufbau and Karl Haushofer, who insisted on the necessity of the Eurasian geopolitical alliance of Russia, Germany and Japan as a counterweight to the “Atlantist” policies that opposed them.[24] Repeating the ideas of Nazi theorists Haushofer, Rudolf Hess, Carl Schmitt, and Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, Dugin claims that this liberal threat is the ideology of the maritime-cosmopolitan power “Atlantis,” which has conspired to subvert more conservative land-based societies since ancient times.

Dugin adapted his interpretation to the traditional synarchist dichotomy between Hyperborea and Atlantis. Guénon wrote of a great Hyperborean culture that flourished around the Arctic Circle and of its outposts Shambhala in the East and Atlantis in the West. According to occult tradition, Atlantis came to an end after a lengthy period of chaos and disaster brought about, in the words of Madame Blavatsky, because the “Atlantis-race became a nation of wicked magicians.” Atlantis was supposedly destroyed by a conspiracy of evil magicians who had seized control of the mighty continent.[25]

Dugin believes that Hyperborea was home to a pure Aryan or Hyperborean race, the ancestors of today’s Russians. The Hyperboreans were in touch with a transcendent spiritual reality. Later they migrated south through Eurasia, where they established great civilizations but also lost their original racial purity and spiritual powers. The Aryans are set against the more primitive and earthbound dark-skinned people of the tropical south. [26] According to Dugin:

It is interesting that Saint Yves d’Alveydre, who in fact married the Russian occultist Countess Kelley, played a major role in popularizing the subject of Aghartha, the mystical underground of the country also identified as Shambhala or the center of the world. The symbolism of Aghartha, as René Guénon showed in his book The King of the World, has the same polar symbolism as the axial mountain. Consequently, Aghartha is directly related to Hyperborea and the respective sacred legitimization of the geopolitical mission of Russia in integrating Eurasia.[27]

As explained by Mehmet Sabeheddin, long before the final end of Atlantis, great migrations took place to different centers of the earth. According to one legend, a righteous remnant journeying from the Arctic Circle to Shambhala, in the remote regions of Central Asia. Other legends suggest Atlantean survivors established the ancient Egyptian civilization. Occult lore speaks of Shambhala as the positive center of the “Brotherhood of Light”, and Atlantis as the negative center of the evil magicians, the “Brothers of the Shadow.” Wherever we look we see the division of secret societies and occult endeavors into these two opposing ‘Orders’. All occult movements and teachings inevitably serve either the “Order of Eurasia” or the “Order of Atlantism,” with their respective symbolic centers of Shambhala and Atlantis.[28]

According to Dugin, in the planetary “conspiracy,” the secret confrontation and invisible struggle between these two opposing “occult” forces has predetermined the course of world history. These forces are represented by “land” and “sea.” In ancient history, the “sea” power of Phoenicia (Carthage) became the historic symbol of “sea civilization” as a whole. The land empire opposing Carthage was Rome. The Punic Wars were therefore an expression of the confrontation between “sea civilization” and “land civilization.”

In more recent times, England became the “island” and “sea” empire, the “mistress of the seas,” succeeded by the giant island-continent of America. The Phoenician-Anglo-Saxon geopolitical type generated a special “trade-capitalist-market” model of civilization based on economic and material interests and the principles of economic liberalism. Contrary to the Phoenician model, Rome serves as a model of military-authoritarian structure based on administrative control, civil religiosity, and on the primacy of “politics over economics.”[29]

G.R.U. Galaxy

Dugin claims to have been introduced by Parvulesco to secret documents that purportedly revealed a Eurasianist conspiracy inside the GRU.[30] The GRU, or the Main Intelligence Directorate, was the foreign military intelligence agency of the Soviet Army General Staff of the Soviet Union until 1991. The GRU’s first predecessor in Russia was formed in 1918 under the sponsorship of Leon Trotsky, then the civilian leader of the Red Army. It was originally known as the Registration Directorate (Registrupravlenie, or RU). Semyon Aralov (1880 – 1969) was its first head. The GRU had the task of handling all military intelligence, particularly the collection of intelligence of military or political significance from sources outside the Soviet Union.

Gladio operative Claudio Mutti, a friend of Dugin, reported that Parvulesco provided an account that confirmed rumors reported by “dissident” Soviets about the existence of a pro-Eurasian movement working secretly inside the Red Army.[31] Much as some conspiracy theorists have claimed that the CIA and various secret societies like Skull & Bones are the real powers behind American politics, Parvulesco claims the situation in the Soviet Union was similar. Secret powerbrokers are now supposedly stepping out into the open to take the course of Russian politics in the direction they have been trying to steer it from behind the scenes for many decades.[32] On February 24, 1989, in Lausanne, before the members of the administrative council of the Institute for Special Metastrategical Studies ‘Atlantis,’ Parvulesco supposedly presented a report under the title “The GRU Galaxy,” and subtitled “The confidential mission of Mikhail Gorbachev, the USSR and the future of the great Eurasian Continent.” In support of his assertions, Parvulesco made reference to an expert on Soviet special services, the French right-wing counterintelligence officer, Pierre de Villemarest, who in 1988 released the bestseller The GRU: the Most Secret of Soviet Special Services, 1918-1988 in France. From 1945 to 1950, Villemarest was a member of the SDECE and GRECE. He was imprisoned during the Algerian War for his participation in the OAS. He married Daniele Martin, the daughter of Dr. Henri Martin, co-founder of the Cagoule and later member of the OAS.[33]

According to Parvulesco, a Eurasian Order was especially active in Russia in the beginning of the twentieth century, and among its representatives were the “Red Shambhala” synarchists Piotr Badmaev and Baron von Ungern-Sternberg, and many other less-known participants. Badmaev was a member of the Green Dragon Society, and an associate of Lama Dorjieff, Peter Ukhtomskii, Nicholas Roerich and Blavatsky’s cousin Sergei de Witte, in St. Petersburg at the court of Nicolas II, and part of Papus’ mission to promote him as the “White Tsar of Shambhala.”[34] As explained by Mehmet Sabeheddin, in “The Secret of Eurasia” for New Dawn, in establishing the OKR+C, Papus, Oswald Wirth and Stanislas De Guaita dreamed of uniting occultists into a revived Rosicrucian brotherhood, as an international occult order, in which they hoped the Russian Empire would play a leading role as the bridge between East and West.[35] Badmaev was later connected to G.I. Bokii, a former member of the OKR+C, and head of the “Special Department” OGPU, the secret police of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1934. It was the OGPU which supported Nicholas Roerich’s to Tibet, coinciding with the Nazi expeditions of 1934-1935.

Another founder of the OKR+C was Joséphin Péladan, who inherited the “regency” of Fabré-Palaprat’s Order of the Temple, which was based on the spurious Larmenius Charter.[36] Péladan also founded the Order of the Temple and the Grail and of the Catholic Order of the Rose-Croix. An early member of Péladan’s grail order was Belgian occultist Émile Dantinne (1884 – 1969). When Peladan died in 1918, Dantinne reorganized the order under the name of Ordre Rose+Croix Universelle. In 1934, Dantinne became one of the founders of FUDOSI, a federation of traditional Rosicrucian and Martinist orders, originating from Papus, Peladan, Stanislas de Guaita and the Ordre kabbalistique de la Rose+Croix (OKR+C). The leading societies involved in FUDOSI were Harvey Spencer Lewis’s AMORC and the Brotherhood Polaires. It was the survival of these traditions which ultimately evolved into the founding of the Order of the Solar Temple by Gladio operative Luc Jouret, a friend of Claudio Muttti.[37]

This group of Russian geopolitical mystics infiltrated the army in order to reform the Bolsheviks, and to create the “Great Continental Power” by using the communists.[38] Parvulesco also highlighted the role of Mikhail Tukhachevsky, a driving force behind Soviet development of the theory of deep operations, nicknamed the Red Napoleon.[39] According to Parvulesco, Tukhachevsky had been initiated to the Brotherhood of the Polaires during his stay in the German detention camp of Ingolstadt in 1915. It was at that time that Tukhachevsky met General de Gaulle, Monsignor Eugenio Pacelli (the future Pope Pius XII), and the Aufbau’s German General von Ludendorff.[40] De Gaulle reported that during their time together, Tukhachevsky shared his nihilist beliefs and spoke against Jews, whom he called dogs who “spread their fleas throughout the world.”[41] Soviet authorities accused Tukhachevsky of treason, and after confessing he was executed in 1937 during Stalin’s Great Purge. In his 1968 book The Great Terror, British historian Robert Conquest accuses Nazi Party leaders Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich of forging documents that implicated Tukhachevsky in an anti-Stalinist conspiracy with the Wehrmacht General Staff, to weaken the Soviet Union’s defence capacity.

The Eurasian Order moved into the Bolshevik regime, and the GRU in particular, to create a Great Continental Power by using the Messianic ideas of the communists.[42] At some point by the beginning of the 1930’s, the GRU’s network of agents in Europe, especially in Germany, deeply penetrated the German and French intelligence services. Thus, in Germany the GRU came into contact with Walter Nicolai, the chief of the Research Department of the Jewish Question, and a friend of Leon Trotsky. Through Nicolai, the GRU had access to the highest leadership of the Abwehr, the SS, and SD. The central figure of this network was Martin Bormann, a friend of Walter Nicolai and Joachim von Ribbentrop.

It was Ribbentrop who appointed SS member Otto Abetz to the position of German ambassador in Vichy France. Abetz was the founder of the Sohlberg Circle, which included personalities like Denis de Rougemont, who later figured in the CIA’s Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), and Alexandre Marc, founder of the Ordre Nouveau, which included Jean Coutrot, a friend of Aldous Huxley and reputed author of the Synarchist Pact. Marc would go on to become one of the leading figures behind the European Movement which developed into the European Union.[43] Abetz’s network during the Vichy years included Ernst Jünger and Jean Cocteau, a purported Grand Master of the Priory of Sion.[44] Cocteau also became close friends with Hitler’s favorite artist, Arno Breker. Parvulesco reports that Arno Breker told him personally that on the occasion of Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, Bormann came to him unexpected and in a state of shock, and repeated a phrase, referring to the philosophy of Heidegger over and over again: “On this June day, Oblivion won a victory over Being… Everything is over… All is lost…”[45] As Hitler’s attack was perceived as part of the Atlanticist conspiracy, the Eurasian Order did everything in its power to stop it.[46]

According to Dugin and Parvulesco, the White Russian conspirators, who maintained ties with the elites of the Nazi Party, aligned with the GRU in Russia to advance the Eurasianist cause against the KGB, who were a tool of the Atlanticist conspiracy.[47] They had been looking for the opportunity to resurface since the years 1948-1952, with their first attempts to assert their own political power. Since then, an immanent national-revolutionary doctrine of the Red Army of the Soviet Union, became more and more decisive during the 1960s, when Brezhnev and subsequently Andropov, advanced their geopolitical theses. [48] Two prominent military figures are considered to have been the leading representatives of the geopolitical doctrine of the “New Russia” of the Soviet Armed Forces: the former head of the GRU and subsequently of the General Staff, as well as later commander-in-chief of the Warsaw Pact forces, the General Colonel S.M. Shtemenko, and Marshal N.V. Ogarkov. With Shtemenko, the GRU was completely restored to its “Polaire” occult traditions, first introduced into the structure of GRU by its founder Semyon Aralov.[49]

The dismissal of Khrushev, an agent of the Atlanticist conspiracy, was the work of the Order of Eurasia, who then began to recover their positions under Leonid Brezhnev. [50] But the greatest triumph of the Army and GRU was in 1977, when the new Brezhnevian constitution founded the “Security Council,” becoming a self-supporting and formally independent legal and political force. “It was a victory of the Army over KGB. It was a victory of Eurasia,” explained Dugin.[51] The huge concentration of power in the hands of the Eurasianist military after 1977 threatened the Atlantists. According to Pierre de Villemarest and Jean Parvulesco, the Soviet-Afghan War was inspired by the KGB to discredit the Army and to provoke the Atlantic interference in the internal political situation on the part of the United States.[52]

Ogarkov carried on the activity of the “Polaire” Order within the Army to the middle of the ‘80s. It was as Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Armed Forces that Ogarkov had attempted, and nearly succeeded in, a complete takeover of the USSR’s political leadership, having ultimately failed because of the counter-conspiracy which would bring to power, through the General Secretariat of the Communist Party, “double agent” Mikhail Gorbachev, who would finally contribute to the irreversible political implosion of the former Soviet Union. [53]

Paris-Berlin-Moscow Axis

Already in the late 1960s, Parvulesco was writing about about “eurasianism,” as a geopolitical project of the Continental Bloc, and about the necessity of a Russian-German alliance, as a revival of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and of the necessity of rapprochement between the reds and the browns in a united, revolutionary, anti-Globalist front.[54] During the 1930s, while working as the German Ambassador to Britain, Ribbentrop interacted extensively with the network of the Cliveden Set, a later name for the Rhodes Round Table, who were working for appeasement with Britian.[55] Nevertheless, Ribbentrop apparently harbored an obsessive hatred for Britain, and viewed the Soviet Union as an important potential ally.[56] Besides Hitler’s own foreign policy, scholars have identified as least four other factions within the Nazi Party. Unlike the other factions, however, Ribbentrop’s was the only one that Hitler allowed to be executed during the years 1939–41.[57] As of 1937, Ribbentrop was championing the idea of an alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan that would partition the British Empire among them. In 1939, Ribbentrop played a key role in the formulation of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. As described by German historian Wolfgang Michalka, after signing the Pact, Ribbentrop expanded on this idea for an Axis alliance to include the Soviet Union to form a Eurasian bloc that would destroy maritime states such as Britain.[58]

Dugin’s mentor and Gladio-affiliated G.R.E.C.E. member, Jean-Francois Thiriart, was obsessed with the idea of creating a Euro-Soviet empire from Vladivostok to Dublin, in order to liberate Europe from American influence. Thiriart believed his “Empire” was only possible through the participation of the Soviet Union, which would join Europe and make it European again. With the demise of the Soviet Union, Thiriart was optimistic that post-Soviet Russia could serve as a “liberator” of Europe. Parvulesco was also inspired by his friend Raymond Abellio, who wanted to create a type of Eurasian Empire spanning from the Atlantic to Japan.[59] As outlined in the “Eurasian Imperial Pact,” a secret document of the Eurasian Order quoted by Parvulesco, the fulfillment of the Great Catholic Empire, the Imperium Ultimum, of the Regnum Sanctum, would involve three operational stages.[60] The first of these involves the creation of the Paris-Berlin-Moscow axis, the future major continental European imperial pole. The second stage would be constituted by the total politico-historical integration of Western and Eastern Europe, Russia and Great Siberia, India and Japan. The third stage will include—after the destruction of the globalist democratic conspiracy led by the “United States Planetary Superpower,” following a continental civil war that will be a repeat of the Civil War—the merger of South America and North America. South America, under the revolutionary impulse of Argentina and Chile, will have already been able to achieve its own continental integration, to support, politically and strategically, the South’s effort in the Second Civil War.[61] According to Parvulesco, eerily predicting the rise of Donald Trump, as summarized by Philip Coppens:

The extreme dissatisfaction within the United States, the extreme disparity between the archconservative religious community and the more liberal, means that being elected as president on a genuine agenda (rather than one of total style but no substance) is almost impossible. For Parvulesco, it will be primarily America’s Catholic, ex-European community that will lead America towards its new destiny – and cause the demise of the current “global conspiracy.” There will be a new Europe, but also a new America.[62]

“At the basis of the geopolitical construction of this [Eurasian] Empire,” Dugin writes, “there must be placed one fundamental principle – the principle of ‘a common enemy’”: the United States. Following Parvulesco, Dugin’s program focuses upon the formation of three key “axes”: Moscow-Berlin, Moscow-Tokyo, and Moscow-Tehran. With regard to the future of Europe, Dugin writes: “The task of Moscow is to tear Europe away from the control of the U.S. (NATO), to assist European unification, and to strengthen ties with Central Europe under the aegis of the fundamental external axis Moscow-Berlin.”[63] Dugin proposes that Germany be offered de facto political dominance over most Protestant and Catholic states located within Central and Eastern Europe.[64]

Dugin’s Eurasian project also mandates that the United States be attacked through Central and South America, “with the goal of freeing them from the control of the North…”[65] In a section entitled “The Fall of China,” Dugin warns: “China is the most dangerous geopolitical neighbor of Russia to the South,” and maintains that the country must be dismantled.[66] As “geopolitical compensation” for the loss of its northern regions, China, Dugin recommends, should be offered development “in a southern direction—Indochina (except Vietnam), the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia.”[67] Dugin insists that Russia’s relations with Japan, Iran, and India were more vital and significant than those with China. The focal point of a Moscow-Tehran axis is “the idea of a continental Russian-Islamic alliance,” he writes, that “lies at the foundation of anti-Atlanticist strategy… [T]his alliance is based on the traditional character of Russian and Islamic civilization…”[68]

Dugin pays considerable attention to “the American idea,” and analyses it into two components: liberalism, whose essence is individualism, and Protestant messianism or eschatologism, as exemplified in the dispensationalism of Cyrus Scofield, Hal Lindsey and Jerry Falwell.[69] Dugin reverses the identity of Gog and Magog, identifying them instead with America. According to Dugin, “The Anglo-Saxons consider themselves to be the ‘descendants of the ten tribes of Israel who did not return to Judea from Babylonian captivity.’ These ten tribes ‘recalled their origins and adopted Protestantism as their main confession.’”[70] As Dugin adds, the dispensationalists believe that before the End Times, the forces of evil and the “Evil Empire”—what Reagan called Russia, and whose main villain is King Gog—will attack the Protestant Anglo-Saxons. Thus, concludes Dugin, “we are dealing with a consistent and ‘rationalized’ doctrinal demonization of Eastern European civilization in all of its aspects – historical, cultural, theological, geopolitical, ethical, social, economic, etc.”[71]

Dugin divides Church history into three phases: the pre-Constantinian phase, the Byzantine phase to the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453—which according to him is the “thousand-year reign of Christ” mentioned in Revelation 20—and the modern, post-Byzantine phase. In essence, the third, contemporary phase of Church history, as coming after the “thousand-year reign of Christ,” is the reign of the Antichrist: America and the West.
