Aleksandr Dugin, a Eurasianist who is close to the Kremlin, has told ethnic Russians in Ukraine that they must not cooperate with Kyiv in any way, that they must be ready to “act radically,” even to the point of sparking a civil war in that country, and that Moscow will support them because it supports “the independence of South-East Ukraine.”
Three days ago, Dugin made those comments via Skype to the wife of Pavel Gubarev who has been detained by the Ukrainian security services for his separatist activities. They were picked up off the Internet and have become something of a sensation on Ukrainian sites. It is worth underscoring that Dugin came from the radical Russian opposition before 2000, changed sides and became a Kremlin loyalist when Vladimir Putin came to power, and that his latest comments came even as Putin and his officials were declaring that they have no further plans for advancing into Ukraine. Neither Dugin nor the Kremlin has confirmed these words, but neither has disowned them either, an indication that one or the other or both are interested in continuing to destabilize Ukraine even as Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov tells US Secretary of State John Kerry that Moscow wants to stabilize the situation. full: http://www.interpretermag.com/dugin-tells-separatists-in-ukraine-what-to-do-next/ Russian fascist Aleksandr Dugin's dreams of dictatorship in Russia: http://anton-shekhovtsov.blogspot.com/2014/02/russian-fascist-aleksandr-dugin-is.html _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
