Alexander Dugin argues that Russia's official recognition of a war with the collective West marks a decisive turning point that will reshape the country's politics, society, and understanding of the conflict.
Conversation with Alexander Dugin on the Sputnik TV program Escalation.
Host: We're going live on Sputnik radio. In the studio with us is Mikhail Alimov. Good afternoon, everyone. This is philosopher Alexander Dugin's authorial program "Escalation." Recently, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of Russia, made a highly symbolic and important statement: he said that the Special Military Operation [SMO] has turned into a real war because "behind Kiev stands a number of European capitals and, unfortunately, Washington." That's a direct quote.
