aleksandr dugin

aleksandr gelyevich dugin -lrb- ; born 7 january 1962 -rrb- is a russian political scientist known for his fascist views and who calls to hasten the `` end of times '' with all out war .
he has close ties with the kremlin and the russian military , having served as an advisor to state duma speaker and key member of the ruling united russia party sergei naryshkin .
dugin was the leading organizer of the national bolshevik party , national bolshevik front , and eurasia party .
he is the author of more than 30 books , among them `` foundations of geopolitics '' and `` the fourth political theory '' .
he focuses on the restoration of the russian empire through the unification of russian-speaking territories , which roughly corresponds to the former soviet republics , such as georgia and ukraine , and unification with russian-speaking territories , especially eastern ukraine and crimea .
in the kremlin , dugin represents the `` war party '' , a division in the heart of the leadership concerning ukraine , and is seen as the driving conceptual force behind vladimir putin 's initiative for the annexation of crimea by russia .
according to his geopolitical views , he considers the war between russia and ukraine to be inevitable and appeals for putin to start military intervention in eastern ukraine .
believing that the so-called fifth column has been working for two decades to destroy russia 's sovereignty from the inside , he proposed in 2014 to strip all dissidents , including musician andrei makarevich , from their russian citizenship and deport them from the country .
