Aleksandr Dugin, a prominent advocate of fascist and anti-Western views, has risen from a fringe ideologue to deeply penetrate into Russian governmental offices, mass media, civil society and academia in ways that many in the West do not realize or understand. Prominent members of Russian society are affiliated with his International Eurasian Movement. Among Dugin's most important collaborators are electronic and print media commentator Mikhail Leont'ev and the legendary TV producer and PR specialist Ivan Demidov. If Dugin's views become more widely accepted, a new Cold War will be the least that the West should expect from Russia during the coming years.
