Russian ultra-nationalist ideologue Oleksandr Dugin, who is considered one of the biggest supporters of the attack on Ukraine, assured that he remains loyal to Vladimir Putin, despite Moscow’s defeat in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, denying the hypothesis that he has distanced himself from the Kremlin leader, reports AFP, reports news .ro. Earlier in his Telegram channel, “Putin’s mastermind” drew a parallel with customs in archaic societies where leaders were killed if they could not help their people, but the message was deleted.
“In the West (…) they began to spread false information that I and the Russian patriots distanced themselves from Putin after the surrender of Kherson and demanded his resignation,” Oleksandr Dugin wrote in his Telegram account.
“Grieving the loss of Kherson is one thing, and our relationship with Verkhovna is another. We are loyal to Putin and will support the military operation (in Ukraine) and Russia to the end,” he added.
On Friday, Oleksandr Dugin published a separate message in which he criticized the Kremlin after the loss of Kherson. He declared that the Russian authorities “can no longer yield” and “the limit has been reached.”
Based on this report, the American think tank Institute for the Study of War clarified that the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson caused an “ideological split between pro-war figures and Vladimir Putin”, which will undermine the credibility of the Russian president.
A Telegram message in which Dugin expressed his frustration and even suggested that Putin should be killed has been deleted, WION reports.
Russian society must mobilize
“If we have any dissatisfaction, it concerns the members of the ruling elite who are already on the run and betraying the Supreme Commander one by one,” he wrote on Saturday.
The ideologue also said that Russian society should mobilize “spiritually and ideologically” in order to win the conflict without the use of nuclear weapons.
The withdrawal from Kherson, a strategic city in the south of Ukraine, was publicly supported by other Russian figures who demand the application of the most radical solutions in Ukraine, especially the leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and the leader of the PMK “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.
