As tensions between Russia and the West escalate to levels not seen since the Cold War, Vladimir Putin's chief ideologue has issued a stark warning to Russians. Alexander Dugin is urging the nation to prepare spiritually for what many interpret as an impending catastrophe — one with alarming echoes of nuclear apocalypse.
The 64-year-old ultra-nationalist philosopher, often regarded as the intellectual architect of the Kremlin's geopolitical worldview, has released apocalyptic statements that have reverberated through Moscow's corridors of power. In an ominous online post, Dugin called upon all unbaptised Russians to seek baptism immediately whilst urging those who rarely attend church to become regular attendees, framing faith as essential preparation for the afterlife.
