Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher and advisor to Putin, is a prominent figure in the American right. His theories, a mix of anti-modern, anti-Enlightenment Western thought and Russian mysticism, portray a cosmic war between "thalassocratic" (Western, individualistic) and "tellurocratic" (Russian, hierarchical) societies. While his influence on Putin's policies is debated, his ideas resonate with the American right, contributing to the ongoing political polarisation.
