Alexander Dugin traces the geopolitical development of Russia from its origins in Kievan Rus and the Russian Empire, through the peak of its global influence during the Soviet era, and finally to the current presidency of Vladimir Putin. Dugin sees Russia as the primary geopolitical pole of the land-based civilizations of the world, forever destined to be in conflict with the sea-based civilizations. At one time the pole of the seafaring civilizations was the British Empire; today it is represented by the United States and its NATO allies. Russia can only fulfill its geopolitical mission by remaining in opposition to the sea powers. Today, according to Dugin, this conflict is not only geopolitical in scope, but also ideological: Russia is the primary representative and defender of traditional values and idealism, whereas the West stands for the values of liberalism and the market-driven society. Whereas Russia began to lose sight of its mission during the 1990s and threatened to succumb to domination by the Western powers, Dugin believes that Putin has begun to correct its course and return Russia to her proper place. But the struggle is far from over: while progress has been made, Russia remains torn between its traditional nature and the temptations of globalism and Westernization, and its enemies undermine it at every turn. Dugin makes the case that it is only by remaining true to the Eurasian path that Russia can survive and flourish in any genuine sense - otherwise it will be reduced to a servile and secondary place in the world, and the forces of liberalism will dominate the world, unopposed. Alexander Dugin (b. 1962) is one of the best-known writers and political commentators in post-Soviet Russia, having been active in politics there since the 1980s. In addition to the many books he has authored on political, philosophical, and spiritual topics, he is the leader of the International Eurasia Movement, which he founded. For more than a decade, he has been an advisor to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin on geopolitical matters, and was head of the Department of Sociology at Moscow State University. Arktos has also published his books, The Fourth Political Theory (2012), Putin vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right (2014), and Eurasian Mission: An Introduction to Neo-Eurasianism (2014).

亚历山大-杜金追溯了俄罗斯的地缘政治发展，从其起源于基辅罗斯和俄罗斯帝国，到苏联时期其全球影响力的顶峰，最后到目前弗拉基米尔-普京的总统任期。杜金认为俄罗斯是世界陆地文明的主要地缘政治极，永远注定要与海洋文明发生冲突。曾几何时，航海文明的一极是大英帝国；今天，它由美国及其北约盟友代表。俄罗斯只有保持与海洋大国的对立，才能完成自己的地缘政治使命。今天，杜金认为，这种冲突不仅是地缘政治上的，而且是意识形态上的。俄罗斯是传统价值观和理想主义的主要代表和捍卫者，而西方则代表着自由主义和市场驱动的社会价值观。在20世纪90年代，俄罗斯开始忽视自己的使命，并有可能屈服于西方大国的统治，而杜金认为，普京已经开始纠正自己的方向，让俄罗斯回到她应有的位置。但斗争远未结束：虽然取得了进展，但俄罗斯仍然在其传统性质与全球主义和西方化的诱惑之间挣扎，其敌人也在处处破坏它。杜金认为，只有坚持走欧亚大陆的道路，俄罗斯才能在真正意义上生存和发展--否则，它将沦为世界上的附属品和次要地位，而自由主义的力量将主宰世界，不受反对。亚历山大-杜金（生于1962年）是后苏维埃时代俄罗斯最知名的作家和政治评论家之一，自20世纪80年代以来一直活跃在那里的政治领域。除了他所撰写的关于政治、哲学和精神主题的许多书籍外，他还是他所创立的国际欧亚运动的领导人。十多年来，他一直是弗拉基米尔-普京和克里姆林宫的地缘政治事务顾问，并担任莫斯科国立大学社会学系主任。阿克托斯还出版了他的书：《第四政治理论》（2012年）、《普京与普京》。Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right (2014), and Eurasian Mission: 新欧亚主义简介》（2014）。
