"The American Empire Should Be Destroyed": Alexander Dugin and the Perils of Immanentized Eschatology

Over two decades have passed since the â‚¬Å“Cold Warâ‚¬Â between the Soviet Union and the West ended. Many citizens of the former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact nations have embraced the opportunities which come with expanded civil liberties and economic growth, but extremists exploit nostalgia for the days of empire. In the words of Vladimir Putin, â‚¬Å“the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century.â‚¬Â
A new ideologyâ‚¬"Eurasianismâ‚¬"is being advanced by those who dream of a new empire and revenge on the Western powers which brought about the collapse of the Soviet empire. Aleksandr Dugin, the father of Eurasianism, was recently described by Foreign Affairs as â‚¬Å“Putinâ‚¬s Brain.â‚¬Â For Dugin, the battle between Russia and the West is an epic struggle to fulfill ancient myths: a battle between the mystical forces of the mythical land of â‚¬ËœArctogaiaâ‚¬ and a decadent, materialistic America. â‚¬Å“The American Empire should be destroyed,â‚¬Â Dugin declares, â‚¬Å“And at one point, it will be.â‚¬Â
America needs to understand the nature of the Eurasianist ideology, and the fanaticism which wages war against the people of Ukraine today, and against the West tomorrow.

â‚¬Å“All too often, history is driven by the mad passions and ambitions of tyrantsâ‚¬"and by warped visions of â‚¬Å“progressâ‚¬Â crafted in the shadows behind their thrones. James Heiserâ‚¬s brilliant new book drags one of todayâ‚¬s most dangerous â‚¬Å“gray eminencesâ‚¬Â into the light. His careful, intricate analysis reveals Aleksandr Dugin, whose twisted ideology shapes Vladimir Putinâ‚¬s brutal and aggressive effort to build a Eurasian empire centered on Russia. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the perilous and irrational motivations of those who now rule in Moscow.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Patrick Larkin, co-author of Red Phoenix, The Enemy Within, and other best-selling thrillers, and author of The Tribune

â‚¬Å“James Heiser has written a profoundly fascinating book on an important and troubling man. Anyone concerned about the future of Russiaâ‚¬"indeed international affairs in generalâ‚¬"should read this book.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Peter Schweizer, President, Government Accountability Institute, William J. Casey Fellow at the Hoover Institution, author, Extortion, Victory, and Reaganâ‚¬s War

â‚¬Å“A penetrating analysis of the dangerous totalitarian dogma of the man who has become Putinâ‚¬s Rasputin. If you want to understand the new threat to Western civilization, you need to read this book.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Dr. Robert Zubrin, President, Mars Society, President, Pioneer Astronautics and Pioneer Energy, author, Merchants of Despairâ‚¬"Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism

â‚¬Å“As his views reported by Heiser make clear, Dugin believes these are literally the forces of the anti-Christ, and to combat them he calls for the mobilisation of the peoples of Eurasia led by Russia, and including the former Soviet republics, Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey and Iran, thus forging a â‚¬Ëœnaturalâ‚¬ alliance with Islam while also ensuring Russian access to warm-water ports.â‚¬Â
--Mervyn F. Bendle, â‚¬Å“Putin's Rasputin,â‚¬Â for Quadrant Online

"Alexander Dugin is little known in Western countries. In this book, James Heiser convincingly advances the case that this Russian philosopher and occultist should be better known and helps us to get to know him.
"... â‚¬ËœThe American Empire Should be Destroyedâ‚¬ provides a well-written history of the rise of Dugin and his influence on Russian politics. Likewise, it convincingly makes the case that the West needs to wake up to the threat which Duginâ‚¬s philosophy poses when it is advocated, in part, by the Russian elite."
--Ed Dutton, Quarterly Review
