Vladimir Putin’s ally and extreme Russian nationalist, Alexander Dugin, has said that a “nuclear apocalypse” is a likely outcome if the country faces losing the war.
The man who has often been dubbed Putin’s mentor or guru has preached a philosophy of Russian expansionism and that the country should be at the heart of a EuroAsian empire.
He sees the Russian world triumphing over the West and an integral part is to see Ukraine as part of Russia and not having a separate identity.
