From: On all aspects of Russia and the FSU [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Andreas Umland Sent: Monday, December 26, 2016 2:12 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Publ.: Dugin & Russia's New Far Right Intellectual Circles 2012-13, EUROPOLITY 10:2 ''Alexander Dugin and Moscow’s New Right-Radical Intellectual Circles at the Start of Putin’s Third Presidential Term 2012-2013: The Anti-Orange Committee, the Izborsk Club and the Florian Geyer Club in Their Political Context,'' Europolity: Continuity and Change in European Governance. Vol. 10. No. 2. 2016. Pp. 7-31. This paper contextualizes a brief moment in the development of Russian right-wing intellectualism in a volatile transition period of the Putin System. It briefly introduces three new far right circles the appearance of which, it is argued, signified a novel stage in the development of the Russian extreme right within the peculiar conditions of Russia’s post-Soviet neopatrimonial regime. The paper focuses on the personae of Aleksandr Dugin – one of post-Soviet Russia’s most prominent fascist ideologues and the prime proponent of “neo-Eurasianism.” The paper also briefly touches upon the significance of the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine for the radicalization of Putin’s authoritarian rule and its resulting rapprochement with the Russian extreme right.
