| | | It’s all about the gays. Russian edition.
Back in April, I wrote about Russia’s super-weird “political scientist,” ultranationalist mad guru, or possibly postmodernist con artist Aleksandr Dugin. A few weeks earlier, I wrote about some Kremlin enablers in Russia (including the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill) portraying Russia’s war in Ukraine as a crusade against the gay menace coming from the West.
Now, here’s a bizarre social media moment that brings the two together.
Pro-Ukraine Twitter accounts have posted a screenshot from Dugin’s account on one of the Russian social media sites:

Translation:
Make no mistake: The great Russia is conducting a battle to the death against the West, but what will be the price if we lose? Our immortal souls will be despoiled and cast into Hell if these satanists prevail! The West itself is founded on the principle of universal sodomy. Remember that the first act of the French Directory was the legalization of homosexuality; remember that British King William recruited boys from the oligarchs’ rebellion as his lovers, to say nothing of the Greek pederasty that inspired the British school system; remember too that the colonists in Roanoke went into the wilderness to commit bestiality with the barbaric natives. Defeat in the special military operation will mean that NATO soldiers, the majority of whom are mulattoes, will go from house to house all over Russia, brutally anally raping everyone on their masters’ orders! Of course it’s better to die in battle for the glory of God than to be thrown into this pit of vipers!
(Come for the homophobia, stay for the racism?)
This is, do not forget, a guy who may or may not be Vladimir Putin’s “whisperer” as some claim, but who headed a political think tank at Moscow State University until 2014, authored a textbook that became part of the curriculum at Russia’s military academies, advised several top members of the Russian political elite, and arguably played a key role in the launch of Putin’s “Novorossiya Project” in Eastern Ukraine that set the stage for the current invasion.
