Putin’s ideologue (Dugin) is speaking openly about race. What do you think about his worldview?
He’s scared. He knows what’s coming.
Muscovy never had (and still does not have) Christianity — what existed there was a mixture of Islam and Mongol Nestorianism (architecture, clothing, weapons, slavery, harems‑ceremonies; everywhere you look — Islam or Islamic influence). Therefore all actions of Muscovy and its church must be understood with this context in mind.
"Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."—gonzague de reynold, 19501
In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.— thomas gomart, 20062 "
