Hi thanks Vlad for yet another great video with information we’d not otherwise have had access to because it’s a form of inside-Russia-information, hard to understand if you aren’t very familiar with the Russian culture so to speak 🫶
You need to talk to the Romanian political commentator Freedom Alternative and his video "What is Duginism and why it matters". He's the man to go to if you want to know about Dugin and his plans for subversion, divide and conquer of the west, along with Eurasianism, National Bolshevism, etc.
When they were re-drawing the boundaries between Russia and Finland they came across a farm that was exactly positioned between Russia and Finland, so they asked the farmer which country he wanted to belong too. The farmer thought about it for a moment then said ‘Finland ‘ The surveyor asked him why he chose Finland the farmer replied ‘ because I couldn’t stand another Russian winter’.
@@stefanadolfspies There are several levels to this joke. It can be thought of as referring to the Winter War. So while I didn't laugh, it did make me smirk.
Wanted to say hi from Tyumen, Russia. It fascinates me how well-informed you are about our politics, it feels like you understand the political climate of Russia better than enyone in Russia itself. It is scary to live in this country, feeling like everyone around you is losing their mind, turning into inhuman nationalist zombies. I hope someday people will wake from this slumber and realize how deep in the arse we are and who led us in it. Hope this day comes soon. I feel so sorry for the Ukranian people, they suffer and die because of our inability to change enything. I am 20 years old, so I was already born during Putin's' presidency. I never voted for him, I never wanted him in power, but I just can't do anything about it and not be put behind bars. anyway, your videos are great, I am so happy to be able to understand them. Life is tough, but I'm not planning on giving up. Россия будет свободной!I
Russia is total deja vu of Germany’s 30s. There is Fuhrer, there is svastika, there is Putin’s Main Kampf, there is a drive for lebensraum, there are all parallels.
Get out of there asap. Even the best case scenario for you rn is another 1991-esque collapse. Check whether you can maybe fuck off to georgia or turkey at first, then move from there. Political asylum may be an option. The fact that you speak english already makes it likely you are educated far beyond the average vatnik, so there will likely be a place for you. Take care, stay safe.
So happy I found your channel. I am so tired with the analysts on the web and TV with almost illiterate commentators. People who read about totalitarian regimes have an idea but they don't understand. Thank you for taking the time to make this channel. Great analysis. Instant subscribe.
Imagine having the largest country in the world and preaching the solution of invading countries to get more land. Sadly, just like many from Iraq miss Sadam, there will be those who miss Putin.
It’s not about more land, no added benefits to Russian people (like Hitler offered). It’s just about “preventing” a mysterious external menace to stay in power. Putin & co do not have any ideology whatsoever, and keep Dugin alike people just for some sugar coating (aimed to students etc who need something more than basic tv propaganda) in absence of any solid proof of such menace.
Not really, Putin is a failed Stalin, unlike russian or soviet strongmen of old he doesn't have the gravitas or the vision and political will to revolutionnise Russia, in many ways he's what in France we call a radical centrist, he defends the status quo.
Yes, that's insane - having the biggest territory in the world, mostly abandoned and derelict but craving for more territories, killing people to occupy these territories instead of developing their own.
I am watching this video from Moscow, the very heart of Mother Russia. I hate Dugin and all these propagandists who contributed significantly that this war happened eventually and our country ended up being on the brink of catastrophe. Bravo, Vlad, you're doing a great job, shining the light exactly where it's needed!
Hey man, is there any chance the Russian population at some point has enough of it's gouvernement and stops the current powers that be? As they are destroying Russia, and have been for so long by pilong up money for some happybfew, didn't invest in their people,... and are now spending the last cash at a horrible war
@@philipreed387 Putin said on Russian TV they want to take land back. Russian leaders could not care any less about international law and look at what they tell their own people, instead of the nonsense they direct at their foreign audience. Whatever blunders or breaking of the Minsk Accords the Ukrainians may have done cannot justify Bucha or the shelling of civilian targets. Russian soldiers commit a My Lai a day in Ukraine and they receive medals for it! Did North Vietnam not complying with certain agreements justify the carpet bombing of the country? Was the US right to invade Iraq because Saddam didn't comply with weapon inspectors? Arguably yes, but Russia just commits naked aggression, with the aim of annexing another country, and then makes up ridiculous propaganda post-facto to justify it or dupe foolish westerners. If you believe Putin cares at all about the Minsk Accords or wishes to stop the "Nazis" in Ukraine (by filling the bunker of their Jewish President with gas to murder him) you truly are a sucker.
I'm in the US. Are you hearing over there about the ISIS group that took credit for her death? I'd never heard of the woman who was killed or her father. There seems to be another uprising of ISIS (Daesh) in the middle east and northern Africa. I just wonder if you had heard the same there? I wish the politicians could just chill and get along. It seems us regular people seem to get along fine, and have far more in common than some would like for us to think. I think each country/culture has value. Just think how much more we'd accomplish if we all got along and how much more we did do when we worked together. I don't care for the EU or UN models, having essentially a world government either. Totalitarianism takes over very fast when there's no heritage, and then we have things such as the "Paris Climate Accord", countries using propaganda to "look as good as possible ", to be "politically correct" (a fancy way of saying they'll lie to your face and smile) and so on. Russia and the US are very similar. We have a totalitarian government like we have never seen before here in the US, and the corruption here is worse than ever. I hope you reply. I'm curious how people on the ground really feel about what's going on, and what is being told to different populations. I find the games being played in our media to be quite entertaining, and that some believe everything they hear to be quite sad. I do understand why Putin stepped into Ukraine. I think it might have been handled differently, but then I don't know everything the Putin and the Duma know, or are told. I do know more than I care to about how Zalensky was installed via propaganda & how his national guard abused and murdered innocent civilian ethnic Russians, and find he and his regime to be repulsive. Why some governments are supporting Zalensky's corrupt and installed government is rather sickening. I hope that the war will stop, allow Luhansk and Donetsk to elect their own governments & I hope the Ukranian people will see past the propaganda and in their next elections, will choose someone who doesn't hold hatred in their heart, who is peace-loving, and who will be fair. I hope the other countries that jumped onto taking sides in the conflict will also stop, think and represent their own people and think about them, instead of risking a very rough winter for them, especially in Europe. I think the EU is totally out of control. I remember before the EU. I believe things were better then. I don't believe the EU has made things better for anyone. Thanks for reading this.
I love how your explanations work in very understandable words, making us less language savvy appreciate what might otherwise be labeled "obscure philosophical gibberish" - at least if it concerns liberalism and freedom - while at the same time exposing those who hide their authoritarian tendencies behind actual gibberish, but are applauded as intellectuals. Thinking about it, it's pretty funny how the double standard of perception of philosophers works.
This analysis is one of the best I've seen so far, and I've watched dozens of both Russian and Ukrainian political youtubers weigh in on this. You're totally spot on with glossing over the "why" and cramming legitimate conjectures with total baloney, because the right answer is we have no idea and it doesn't matter at all. What matters is this war where, among all the Buchas and Mariupols, Khersons and Lisichansks, Moscow has always been a safe haven, and not anymore. And, as a Moscow resident, I'm gonna say this is more relieving than scary.
Well said. Emphasis on the "best so far", however. It's also the best BY far, yet he still has some substantial holes that are at risk of undermining his entire analysis as well as his overall position for future analyses.
You are right when you said it is revealing. This war is showing just how weak Russia really is. And Putin will lose this war because God knows he is in the wrong. Having his military bomb civilian structures and schools and hospitals is totally wrong and he WILL end up in hell
Your 'Lebensraum' reference was spot on. The policies of Russia in occupied Ukraine (attempting to create new Russians & exterminating those who do not comply) seem VERY similar to those of the S.S. in Nazi occupied territory in WW2.
It doesn’t even need that comparison, it’s the same exact Russian expansionism. Remember the Kholodomor? that’s how all the Russians got there in the Ukrainian region. They just kept doing it.
I just found your channel and can't stop watching it. What a scholar you are. RUclips gives us access to people/teachers like you that I never had in my formable years. Thank you for all your work. It is very much appreciated.
I lived in Kazakhstan for 20 years. I returned to the US 8 years ago. It's painful for me that almost no Americans without well-used passports have a clue at all about the world, including the events going on in Ukraine/Russia. I try to have nuanced discussions that address the grey areas. Impossible. Thank you for your insightful analysis.
Yeah, the average American only cares about what the Kardashians are up to amd which one is pregnant but can't even tell you the last 5 president's of our own country or 5 random State Capitols let alone what's going on in Western Europe. Hell, the average American didn't even know what was going on in the Middle East and we were there fighting in a war for 20 years and they still don't know what a sunni or Shia muslim are.
You know that you have a privileged perspective, where you're both near and far, within and unaffected. It would be exceptionally rare that this sort of way of seeing things opens up either to either Americans or the Russians. In a way, you have to be in that sphere of gravity, hear the voices, see the faces, but not so much that the only voice you hear is "Pravda".
Theyre getting better tho. I spent a lot of time in the US over the last 30 years. Back in the 90s, they knew almost nothing about the outside world. Maybe a little bit about England or Canada, places like that. But their geographical knowledge was awful lol. I dont mean for this to sound rude or anything, as Americans are great people, but they were extremely insular. Now that the internet has become more widespread, and younger Americans interact with other nationalities on a daily basis, they do seem to have a better understanding of whats going on. It has improved. Their general knowledge of European and Asian politics and culture is fairly decent.
One can argue that at least US citizens have little to be concerned about what happens outside of North America. It seems more difficult to say the same can be said for anyone else, including Russians.
@@VladVexler if you’ve never read Roger Griffin’s works on fascism (or even his reader/sourcebook) highly recommend. Hadn’t ever considered fascism as an ideology unto itself and outside the context as reactionary to liberalism/capitalism communism etc etc. worth the read.
at 0:42 "It is one of the worst thing in the world to loose a child? Yes you are right as so many Ukrainians lost their child because of the unlimited aggression of Russians. No mercy for evil Darya Dugina.
While I don't condone killing anyone, she doesn't know any one about it and never will. By all accounts she wasn't a particularly decent person. So the fact she chose this path and now her father is having to deal with his daughters death every day. The term "you reap what you sow" springs to mind.
Oh my God, thank you. Finally someone explains this in English - Dugin isn't influential in Russia. This was likely done over money or because he crossed the FSB.
A car bomb is also Ukrainian modus operandi to get rid of turn coats. But I daubt that they did it. Her father and herself are just not important enough to do it.
@@sebastianriemer1777 Exactly. If Ukrainians were operating that deep inside Russia, they'd strike somebody actually important instead of Dugin. Or his daughter, lol.
@@sebastianriemer1777 I've always thought Dugin's daughter was vaporized by home-grown Russian partisans who wanted the father-daughter duo to shut up.
@@sebastianriemer1777 Surely that’s very helpful to conflate the issue by using the favoured method of someone who you’d like people to think might have done it?
Hi Vlad, I have watched all of your videos from Feb 2022 to this point in both this channel and the Chat channel, and I’m recommending them to as many people as I can in RUclips. In my opinion you offer the most accurate insight and knowledge of the true motivations and objectives of Putin as well as the political and social environments of Russia. Stay healthy, and I look forward to more videos from you.
Many years ago I got to know a Russian expat in Argentina. He was a sort of friendly gangster that had seen, and probably done, many bad things in his life. But that is unrelated to the poignant memory I have about him. He said that the way you can summarize 'things' in Russia is that these always end in big catastrophes. At the time I couldn't really understand what he meant, yet I was impressed by these words of pity toward his country. Now, studying a bit more in depth about Russian damned past and present I can make much more sense of them. Thank you Vlad for helping in this process.
I saw this headline and I said "uh-oh" - Vexler's onto it. I checked the thumbs up and went straight for the comment. Now - deserves popcorn but I'll settle for coffee.
Thank you! Watching your videos and listening to your words are an intellectual feast. Not that I concur with everything you say, but surely listening to you is very educative. Not many on this platform can equal your knowledge and education about Russia.
@@VladVexler I forgot to say that I listen to you because you give a deep vision with interesting opinions without a single gram of arrogance. My pleasure.
In German, we call people like Dugin Schwurbler. Pretty untranslateable. A person who makes confusing and unproven points, could be confused by themselves and not aware of their argumentative shortcomings but all the more poignant and convinced. I would call Heidegger a part time Schwurbler for it is said he made good introductory seminaires. Corona gave a lot of them a stage.
Schwurbler. I get a mental image of a bird screaming nonsense. Or some woke liberal in the US expousing some poorly thought out manifesto of how they demand things should be.
@@markrice41 Well if you express what you would like to have you can say whatever comes to mind but Schwurblers think they stand for some kind of "new truth" or "real science", while: no. And I guess some of them aim to confuse.
Very interesting. As a person who lived through 90s in Russia I have somewhat interconnected, but a more simple one. Bandits always killed each other in 90s and 00s for the one main reason - MONEY. I tend to think it is the same story here. Majority of population there thinks in the same framework (unfortunately), and the cost of life is nothing. I suspect Dugins started to interfere with the area of influence of others, most likely top military staff. And once there is a threat for cash flow, the reaction is immediate. And the most sufficient way to send the message in that country? No person - no problem.
@@brenthargreaves7085 There can not be something like `Ukraine competition` when Russia has eradicated the Ukrainian identity and the Ukrainian state. So they `BOOM` the perfect solution: no Ukraine means no war and no competition for the Russian system of `survival of the bandits`
I absolutely agree with you about interference in the west. In Holland, a relatively new party Forum for Democracy is a big supporter of Putin. At one point, the leader, Thierry Baudet, did not have the money to start a party and that has emerged from emails. Strangely enough, at a certain point there was suddenly enough and the party was very popular because it picked up all the problems including immigration and Covid and the restriction of freedom. Funding is now being investigated and suspected of Kremlin interference, as has Marie Le Pen who financed her party with a loan from Moscow. What is also terrifying is that there are many propagandists active on RUclips and every now and then I get involved in discussions with their followers. It's too late for them but I hope others read my comments and have doubts about what is suggested in the videos and I see this as a task to fight for Democracy.
This is everywhere in Europe. FSB general Beseda had a huge budget to influence things in Ukraine and it got public only because he stole it. I suppose Russia has similar budgets for all European (and some other) countries.
@@JudeMalachi It's not anti-democratic to slap down politicians who are the paid shills of a hostile foreign power and using funding from that nation to spread disinformation, sow chaos and undermine the democratic intuitions they are supposed to be part of. In less liberal times, those people would be called traitors.
@@JudeMalachi I do fight what influencers post on RUclips on behalf of Putin. Furthermore, I cannot call populism the path to Democracy. It is clear that certain political parties want to take power in several countries of Europe through expressions of populism and if you are not allowed to name that because it would not be democratic, what is Democracy in your opinion.
@Miroskav Dusin I know this is everywhere in Europe, but Baudet (French for Donkey BTW) is one of the most dangerous ones out there. Brexit, Ukraine EU association referendum, the anti-COVID movement and now with the Dutch farmer protests: He's there everytime. He's also evolved from more sovereign Putin allies like Wilders. Wilders is part of the league of Le Pen, Salvini, Orban, AfD, etc. while Baudet could be Putin's son when looking at his behavior. Baudet is the man Vlad has been warning for, because if we don't look out for it he's going to make Putin more popular in Western Europe the rest of the 2020s and 2030s.
Honest question for you, Vlad. Do you do these videos in Russian as well as English? If not, I would humbly suggest you really should. Not a Russian speaker myself, just feel that there is a dearth of honest content available for them in their native language.
there is tremendous amount of content in russian, literally dozens and dozens of journalists, independent tv channels, etc - much much more than in english actually. problem isn't at all in the lack of content, it's bubbles in which people exist. Just like there is a lot of content on both right and left in the US, but people on one side rarely have any awareness of what the other side is saying or doing. Bubbles.
@@igvc1876 Apparently the popular talk about „filter bubbles“ and „echo chambers“ does not have a good empirical basis. People who access news through social media and search engines likely even acquire a politically more diverse information diet. Compare for example: „The Routledge Companion to Media Disinformation and Populism“; „More diverse, more politically varied: How social media, search engines and aggregators shape news repertoires in the United Kingdom“; „Political Communication“ in „Oxford Handbook of Poli Psych“.
@@janvisagie231 The most intuitive way I can explain Katz after watching him is: While Dugin wants Russia to hardcore rape Ukraine, Katz wants Ukraine "only" to give a blowjob.
Best thing available which helps us understand what is truly at stake -- historically, politically, ethically -- in this dreadful war. I listen to everything you put out and circulate it widely among my friends and acquaintances. Thank you.
@@VladVexler Always good to have friends with decent equipment, haha! In any case, thanks for the analysis. I refer to it often when discussing this ridiculous situation. You wouldn't believe the number of mates I have in Australia who are almost pro-Putin because of RT brainwashing 🙄
This is terrifying. I'm American 40 years old, and I see so many American politicians going down the road toward fascism and stripping away our rights, out last president incited a coup to over throw our votes and so many Americans don't even admit it!! It's terrifying. I am sure many Russians are good people and don't want Putin or the oppression he stands for. I am so thankful we have the internet and can connect with each other. Thank you for this video. My ultimate wish is for peace and love to the world ❤️🌏
I have seen two of your posts/comments and each one touched me so as a compatriot thank you ❤. Thank God and your intelligence for spotting the flaws in Trump and his lack of integrity. I actually saw that some of Trump's goals were worthy but he is not slightly flawed but rather deeply flawed as an individual and now we have to deal with Ted Cruz and others like him who deceive and lead us down dark paths. It is scary that so many people don't spot the fake and seem to have like...vacuous or numb souls. Be well !!
Thank you for a great analysis. It always amazes me how dense and nuanced you deliver your speech. I also really loved the production of this video, especially the audio. In spite of having quite a bit of clearly audible music in the background, it never interfered with your voice. I know from experience that It takes time, patient and diligence to master a production on this level. Most RUclipsrs never get close to this. On top of being on another level intellectually, you have now added another layer of professionalism to your videos. Dang man! You’re a real pro now. Awesome job. 🤩👍🏼👍🏼
@@VladVexler Even if it wasn’t quite finished, it was notably good. I know there were few naysayers here, (mostly for personal reasons) but I feel they should have complimented you instead of being so condescendingly complaining, especially the one I conversed with who claimed to be a professional. When people make effort of improving, it’s my believe that you should let them know about it and be encouraging. Many people have no idea how much work goes into making a good video. I know how hard it is in the beginning to get things right that go into making a video. You don’t always know which steps are right and you have to think about it and now, there are softwares with myriads of options and it can be disorienting for a while at first to figure them out, instead of using them because they are there and look just so amazing, so why not? Often you don’t see how unbalanced or bad it looks, until you are watching it like everyone else. So in that light, yours was pretty good and the complains were exaggerated in my opinion. Small imperfections like that happens to everyone early on. So don’t sweat it. Once you get a hang of it it gets easier. Even though I’m sure thinking philosophically must always be kind of difficult, Im sure at the beginning of your studies it must have caused you quite a bit headache, but about 3 years later there was a system of thinking philosophically, that you kinda didn’t think about, because that thinking was already in your head as a part of a flow system. Now you sound like it’s second nature to you, way better than I’ve heard anyone talk. Great Job. 🙌🏼😉
Your talk of people blindly outsourcing their politics is very true for us here in America. The general voting populace is either un-informed or misinformed and will simply vote on political party lines without knowing the policies or history of policies the politicians install that effect our lives.
Yeah but compared to Russia it's a lot better, the human brain is not designed to be curious of these things or how to extrapolate the past and present. Granted America is quite possibly one of the most ignorant democracies in the world, but there is far more engagement than Russia still.
I was gripped from the beginning... love the style, half narration, half personal commentary, unbiased and clear... Amazing to watch... this was my first video and I'm already a fan. Great Job Mr Vexler
So, good, so passionate, so articulate. Better than fiction, Vlad's Russian reality, dissected and illuminated with subtlety, humour and something very uniquely Vexler, an ability to be both utterly brilliant - and perfectly aware of the brilliance - while remaining charmingly humble and human.
Superb Vlad, I really love your analysis and how your grasp of politics, political theory & history, philosophy, psychology and sociology is put to good use. Sir you've got almost a full spectrum insight on these topics, chapeau!
Vlad, you’ve become my reliable source of choice for all things Russian. Your videos not only are super informed, but also possess a philosophical depth that is extremely rare on the Net. AND they’re very enjoyable to watch. As to the Dugina killing, as an over-50 Italian who grew up through the Strategy of Tension and the Years of Lead, I must say this attack reeks of false flag operation miles away. Whoever did this had their own Strategy of Tension agenda: generate a rally around the flag effect and provide for a perfect excuse for a further clampdown on dissidents. Dugin was a perfect candidate: famous enough -especially in the West, as you pointed out- to leverage his death, but not politically relevant enough to create a power vacuum with his death. I’m no geopolitical scientist and I’m not a Russian but, at face value, this does look to me as the likeliest explanation.
Really appreciate your words!! My goal, which is sometimes clearer on the Chat channel, is to explore how to look and think and make sense of what is in front of us. In the world of politics. And culture more widely. That’s the depth element - which in a sense makes the videos much more than just about the topic covered. That’s my hope anyway, I know I don’t always succeed. I am still learning all this, especially how to operate on this very strange app!!
False flag ops are how Putin garnered support for the 2nd Chechen war. The evidence for the false flag was overwhelming until the FSB silenced further investigation. With support for Ukraine increasing in the West, Putin needed an event to garnish more support abroad. Dugin was perfect - a western popular intellectual outside of the inner circle.
@@meso8848 If what you said is true, Putin wouldn't have had to resort to a false flag. It is weird how the FSB found the suspect in 24 hours when political assassinations are 20-year cold cases.
@@stuie999 I cogent and nuanced argument you put forward .... (sarcasm) If you cannot either be bothered, or are not able to construct a sentence, i suggest you leave the conversation to the adults in the room.
It’s a farcically unironic mischaracterisation by Dugin (Darya just follows him), and a gross one. But it’s not incoherent and it is an open question how much truth it contains. Moreover, Dugin means it in a special sense - he is pushing against liberalism’s universal aspirations.
@@VladVexler Thank you, that's good input! In my understanding, true liberalism ceases to exist where someone tries to push it by totalitarian means. I actually feel saddened by the totalitarian way many western activists try to force their ideologies, which they imho misinterpret for liberalism, on all of humanity. That is where I perhaps could understand Dugin's anti-western stance. To me it looks a bit like being afraid of a scarecrow: It's not alive, it can't attack you, but it resembles everything you fear. I personally am so disappointed to see geopolitics still being driven mainly by trying to either fix or destroy behaviours in OTHER countries, instead of giving and taking good examples from each other, while learning from known errors. No matter how far we came with well-tried power politics, in this day and age the danger of nuclear annihilation leaves less and less room for error. Thank you, Vlad, for your contribution to understanding who we are, and who we could be 💪👍
This is why I believe that Dugin did what 'normal minded 'people would have thought would be impossible, He martyred his own daughter. This must surely be the logical answer.
Why is Russia always so late to the game? Didn't they also have to experience the suffering and misery of the war about 80 years ago? Or has this simply been forgotten there? Or are they so megalomaniac in Russia that they think they are immune to National Socialism aka fascism? I still don't understand it. Our great-grandfathers here in Germany reaped in 1945 what they had sown before. You always reap what you sow. That's a classic wisdom! And the Dugins have obviously reaped what they have sown before.
I seriously doubt Russians have forgotten about the horrors of war. With 25 million dead during WW2 and the fact they commemorate the “ Great Patriotic War” on an annual basis gives me reason to be believe the exact opposite of what you think. In fact it is we in the west,more particularly North Americans , who really have no idea of what it is to be invaded and subjected to horrific atrocities. Even though many Russians may understand the political and geopolitical reasons for this conflict I’m certain their consciences are distressed by the reality of this invasion.
@@evzenvarga9707 Apart from the fact Fascism originated in Italy and Nazism in Germany how are they very different in your opinion? Both primarily involve the fusing of the state and capitalism. Fascism didn’t involve racist and ethnic genocide as did Nazism. Apart from that how are they “ very different “.?
@@Juan_lauda Perhaps he didn’t have “direct “ experience but as a child and a youth he obviously had the direct and fresh experience of the aftermath of devastation. Along with being immersed with people who did have direct experience.
The tragedy is that Putin has suppressed the "reasonable" opposition so thoroughly that the only possible replacements for Putin are the ones who think he isn't being aggressive enough.
Gosh I love these videos! The “constructive thought provoking” it creates in my mind is incredibly satisfying. The moment I heard about this assassination, I considered it an action from “behind the scenes” to give plausible legal reasons to escalate the conflict towards Ukraine. And my gosh YES. I have seen SO MUCH , BLATANTLY OBVIOUS influences from Russia and from China as well , to twist and undermine the very foundations that democracy is built on. Well done , take care of yourself 🙏👍🏻🇦🇺
I've read that Dugin used to organize performances for the youth during which his daughter played the role of a woman commiting self-immolation for the good of Russia. Dugin himself was obsessed with death, sacrifice, particularly of one's child, and occultism. Since that was what really happened to her, his involvement in Daria's death is highy probable.
Wow,if so.. that's really messed up in the head. What should surprise me at this point?.. people are believing such absurdities in this modern world,things that I would've thought laughable only 5 or 10 years ago.
The world is run by rich global elites, money and power hand in hand. I like the way this guy turns a discussion into the murder of a daughter of a Russian extreme nationalist, into a general Western liberal democracies are threatened by those who think their governments don't represent them. This war has been contrived to further interests that are not those of the Russian people. Don't believe always what you are being told.
@@PopularesVox From my observations, there is a greater awareness among people across the world of the scams that the elite run; however, there is still little that the average person can do to turn the tide of events. Putin is responsible for his actions, but, in my opinion, US foreign policy as outlined by the neo-conservatives since the collapse of the Soviet Union plays a big role in many of our current dilemmas. As always, it’s a good time to be a “defense” contractor.
@@AlteredState1123 Indeed large oil/gas companies and the military industrial complex have made a pile out of this war so far. Whist thousands of people on both sides have died. This war is abomination and lies and deceit continue to be propagated by those who's interests it serves.
@@PopularesVox But, what to do as an individual and what is the outcome for which to hope? In the meantime, the real enemy with which we should be contending is the climate catastrophe. We just can’t seem to get over the human conflicts. We are clever but incredibly stupid primates. Here’s to a better world.
*Greetings to the blogger from the Russian blogger! Thank you for the issue on the topic of Dugina👍🏻* An interesting fact is that her car burned down all over, and the photos from her funeral do not show burns on her
Fantastic video, I especially enjoyed your informative description of the western perceived influence of Dugin, which is based in western wishes to find a mythical Rasputin type figure in Russia , and the actual lack of Dugins influence in Russia. good sense of humor too, you got a new sub
Ah, I get it. Dugin is Russia's Chomsky. You know, the wise old guy with a beard who must be very intelligent and correct because most people have no idea what he is talking about. Strangely both of them seem to want Russia to have ownership of Ukraine. Albeit for different reasons.
Well, they are sort of the same reason. Geopolitics. But Chomsky is particularly myopic when it comes to this, in any issue he seems to consider only the US and counter-US reaction disregarding any agency of other actors, both logically and morally it seems.
@@Sindrijo Yes, that what pains me. A total disregard of the fact the people elsewhere are also sentient beings with feelings and thoughts of their own. "Agency" as you put it. It worries me because that dehumanisation of "others" is what allowed Hitler's Germany to do what it did and now drives Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I don't think Chomsky has ever advocated for senseless slaughter and occupation of territory; he makes the argument why Russia would perceive Ukrain and NATO as a threat to her sovereignty which can't be denied. However the gross and disgusting actions by the Putin regime cannot be understated
The one things that's rather difficult for me to pin down, is what's the truth about Dugin's popularity. Some reports say he's vastly praised and loved, others say he's rather inconsequential and irrelevant. My friends in Israel, who moved here from Russia several years ago (and naturally, detest Putin and are against this war), have told me that Dugin is the Russian equivalent to Jordan Peterson, and that he's truly popular with common people. I hope you're correct, and that he's a mostly irrelevant, angry little fascist.
Look for Foundations of Geopolitics wiki. Its about dugin's book. Very easy to see his stuffs are being used by Putin. Dugin's opinions and stuffs he published from others elsewhere seem to signal that he performed honor killing on his daughter.
@@meatrealwishes I'll certainly look into the book you suggested, thanks, but my comment was not about the motives of Dugina's killing, but rather, questioning the claim that Dugin is "irrelevant" or "unpopular"
yea but jordan peterson isnt popular with common people in North America, he's popular with fascists. Im a common man , and i hate that drug addict's guts.
@@letXeqX According to the recent statistics I saw, about 40% of Jews in Israel who are originally from Russia, said that they perceive Russia to be a threat to the State of Israel, as opposed to average Israelis, where the number was nearly 70%. Putin support is mostly popular with the older, "Soviet Aliyah" generation, and I've heard it a lot amongst them, unfortunately. But to be honest, I've heard more mindless Likudniks saying "Putin is right!" than I have Russians.
Brilliant analysis. I'm born under Moskva's military Boot. I was raised, while our intelligence discussed the mechanics of the Russian State, literary every day. I have studied and heard a lot, but this analysis gave me unknown perspectives.
This is the fourth feed of yours I have listened to today despite the sunshine outside. It is so good to have found your channel. For other excellent first hand information I regularly listen to INSIDE RUSSIA - Konstantin Samoilov. It is so good for us ignoramuses to hear from Russians. Thank you so much..
The almost "perfect" footage of Dugin with his hands to his head and a burning car seems suspicious to me. And all Russian media published this footage immediately or the day after the event.
It was the babushka lady on the grassy knoll being covered by the three tramps while E. Howard Hunt played a lookout from the storm drain. I knew the Dugina conspiracies would start soon.
This has entered my mind. I think most people when watching their child die, would hardly be standing tall with their hands on their head. I think I my body would be like a ball in the ground and my hands would be covering my face. that would be contorted with crying in horror.
For those not in the know, Dugin's views are pretty well summarised in his "Foundations of Geopolitics" book, which is a required reading in many Russian educational institutions.
Putin and his inner circle treats Russia like a CEO would treat his business. Russia is Putins business and his greates achievement. And if you as to dare critisise his company or it's policies, he will make sure that you will be disciplined accordingly and remind you who's in charge of this business or he will make sure that you wish you signed your resignation letter.
Interesting observations, a way of thinking, it is refreshing to hear a person who has democracy in his blood and can add such different colors to his voice. I liked it again Vlad, Good job.
No. She really died, he was crying over her body in the road. He's just a madman and her death has just reenforced his psychosis, rather than causing him to rethink what they did to bring this on theirselves.
I thought you may have used a camera from the sections with lovely bokeh and the crispness overall. To my eyes it was wonderful but if it's a lot more work, it's ultimately not important as the amazing content is what we are here for. 😊
How is your top theory that dugin has little influence in Russia and simultaneously the Russian government killed dugina because they are too powerful???? Those two ideas don’t match
To a rational person you are correct, but as Vlad has said many times, Putin's perceived threats are based out of paranoia rather than reality, from that viewpoint it does make perfect sense.
You may have outdone yourself! Your philosophical and analytical approach combined with your deep knowledge and thorough understanding of the historical and political background of Putin and the Dugans is on full display. Your use of multiple camera angles combined with the well timed use of video clips of their own words made for a professional looking presentation! Always looking forward to your thoughts. Educate me oh master philosopher! 💜
This video is as disturbing as it is fascinating, and throws more light on much of what is happening in the U.S. I greatly appreciate your perceptions and insights on this gathering storm in our world. Thank you; great work!
@@Kandykanezz oh yes he spread propaganda all over the US. Thruman did a master move by letting Churchill speech in the US, and he warned the people for Stalin and his communisme party. By a lot of americans there eyes where going open who Stalin really was. Was in 1948 you can search on that.
If Dugin really knew that his daughter was about to die, then that says more about him that all his philosophical speeches on “ontological levels” and “Russian dasein”. Simply put, a horrid person.
"That's a bit like committing armed robbery to steal a haddock." Aaaaand #subscribed. In 2 videos my depth of understanding /real/ Russian politics has multiplied by a factor of 10. Gracci!
I love your videos -- complex, vivid, well-edited -- and you incredibly remind me so much of Mischa Auer, one of my favourite comedians of the 1930s. Watch him in "My Man Godfrey" as the Russian "protege." of a wealthy American woman, and in "You Can't Take It With You" as the hungry Russian ballet teacher to a family of eccentric philosophers. His animated arms and rolling eyes made him famous -- and funny. His lugubrious vocal tones made him ever so "Russian" to American audiences, but to me, he was, of course, Russian-Jewish, and his joking references to Minsk (pronounced exaggeratedly as "Meeensk") reminded me of my own family's Jewish jokes. Seeing you is a bit like still having him alive. Also, you happen to be a great intellectual and philosopher ... but then, so was Mischa Auer.
Basically, yes - the war has destabilised the Putin regime, to some degree, and the ingredients in the pot of Russian politics will be more volatile and toxic.
@@VladVexler The death of Daria Dugina is such an ambiguous and mysterious event that it offers endless opportunities for speculation. Even Wikipedia, the normally sober and matter-of-fact “People’s Encyclopedia” descends into conspiratorial speculation in the entry “Daria Dugina.” For example: “Her body appeared suspiciously intact at the funeral considering the way she allegedly died, leading some to believe her killing was staged.” Was she the target, or was it her father? Was this a “False Flag” operation, like the apartment-building bombings reportedly engineered by the FSB to enrage popular opinion against the Chechen rebels? Will it ever be possible to identify the attackers and their motives, given the lack of any reliable source of information, and the enthusiasm with which propagandists on all sides have seized on the story? This churning of reality and speculation is extremely alarming, given what is at risk in the Nuclear Age.
Tho less extreme than the Dug-ins of this world, many people around me don't care deeply about the human suffering caused on the ground. Those who discuss Ukraine seem to prefer a mindgame about resentment of America and Russia and fakeness of news. When I give them the fullest, balanced picture that I can within a conversation, they thank me for the new perspective, but for them it remains ultimately about their feelings, their own lives, their mindgames. Politics means so little if one doesn't ground it in caring for everyone's inner experiencing + striving for wholesome day by day living.

Hi thanks Vlad for yet another great video with information we’d not otherwise have had access to because it’s a form of inside-Russia-information, hard to understand if you aren’t very familiar with the Russian culture so to speak 🫶
You need to talk to the Romanian political commentator Freedom Alternative and his video "What is Duginism and why it matters". He's the man to go to if you want to know about Dugin and his plans for subversion, divide and conquer of the west, along with Eurasianism, National Bolshevism, etc.
Much respect! Great video. Sub'd, thank you.
So may words, and nothing of value said. Vlad the rambler. You should fight Batman. You'd win, by boring him to death.
When they were re-drawing the boundaries between Russia and Finland they came across a farm that was exactly positioned between Russia and Finland, so they asked the farmer which country he wanted to belong too. The farmer thought about it for a moment then said ‘Finland ‘ The surveyor asked him why he chose Finland the farmer replied ‘ because I couldn’t stand another Russian winter’.
you laugh at this?
The version I heard, many years ago, had the two countries as Poland and Germany.
@@stefanadolfspies A titter.
Well written and said ! We think as that farmer ! Thank to give us to read that !
@@stefanadolfspies There are several levels to this joke. It can be thought of as referring to the Winter War. So while I didn't laugh, it did make me smirk.
Wanted to say hi from Tyumen, Russia. It fascinates me how well-informed you are about our politics, it feels like you understand the political climate of Russia better than enyone in Russia itself. It is scary to live in this country, feeling like everyone around you is losing their mind, turning into inhuman nationalist zombies. I hope someday people will wake from this slumber and realize how deep in the arse we are and who led us in it. Hope this day comes soon. I feel so sorry for the Ukranian people, they suffer and die because of our inability to change enything. I am 20 years old, so I was already born during Putin's' presidency. I never voted for him, I never wanted him in power, but I just can't do anything about it and not be put behind bars.
anyway, your videos are great, I am so happy to be able to understand them. Life is tough, but I'm not planning on giving up. Россия будет свободной!I
wait, isnt this dude russian?
Russia is total deja vu of Germany’s 30s. There is Fuhrer, there is svastika, there is Putin’s Main Kampf, there is a drive for lebensraum, there are all parallels.
Hang in there, friend! Your nation needs you and everyone like you. Be safe, but don't stop believing in yourself.
Get out of there asap.
Even the best case scenario for you rn is another 1991-esque collapse.
Check whether you can maybe fuck off to georgia or turkey at first, then move from there. Political asylum may be an option. The fact that you speak english already makes it likely you are educated far beyond the average vatnik, so there will likely be a place for you.
Take care, stay safe.
why do you say "arse" like a blimey bloke?
So happy I found your channel. I am so tired with the analysts on the web and TV with almost illiterate commentators. People who read about totalitarian regimes have an idea but they don't understand. Thank you for taking the time to make this channel. Great analysis. Instant subscribe.
Welcome aboard! There is also a second channel called Vlad Vexler Chat, where I answer questions and do longer casual talks.
Imagine having the largest country in the world and preaching the solution of invading countries to get more land. Sadly, just like many from Iraq miss Sadam, there will be those who miss Putin.
It’s not about more land, no added benefits to Russian people (like Hitler offered). It’s just about “preventing” a mysterious external menace to stay in power. Putin & co do not have any ideology whatsoever, and keep Dugin alike people just for some sugar coating (aimed to students etc who need something more than basic tv propaganda) in absence of any solid proof of such menace.
Not really, Putin is a failed Stalin, unlike russian or soviet strongmen of old he doesn't have the gravitas or the vision and political will to revolutionnise Russia, in many ways he's what in France we call a radical centrist, he defends the status quo.
Yes, that's insane - having the biggest territory in the world, mostly abandoned and derelict but craving for more territories, killing people to occupy these territories instead of developing their own.
It's just Evil. Period.
Straight out of the N@zi playbook except they have 10x the land.
I am watching this video from Moscow, the very heart of Mother Russia.
I hate Dugin and all these propagandists who contributed significantly that this war happened eventually and our country ended up being on the brink of catastrophe.
Bravo, Vlad, you're doing a great job, shining the light exactly where it's needed!
Hey man, is there any chance the Russian population at some point has enough of it's gouvernement and stops the current powers that be? As they are destroying Russia, and have been for so long by pilong up money for some happybfew, didn't invest in their people,... and are now spending the last cash at a horrible war
I’d be interested to know what you believe to be the genesis of this conflict.
@@philipreed387 Putin said on Russian TV they want to take land back. Russian leaders could not care any less about international law and look at what they tell their own people, instead of the nonsense they direct at their foreign audience. Whatever blunders or breaking of the Minsk Accords the Ukrainians may have done cannot justify Bucha or the shelling of civilian targets.
Russian soldiers commit a My Lai a day in Ukraine and they receive medals for it!
Did North Vietnam not complying with certain agreements justify the carpet bombing of the country? Was the US right to invade Iraq because Saddam didn't comply with weapon inspectors? Arguably yes, but Russia just commits naked aggression, with the aim of annexing another country, and then makes up ridiculous propaganda post-facto to justify it or dupe foolish westerners.
If you believe Putin cares at all about the Minsk Accords or wishes to stop the "Nazis" in Ukraine (by filling the bunker of their Jewish President with gas to murder him) you truly are a sucker.
I'm in the US. Are you hearing over there about the ISIS group that took credit for her death? I'd never heard of the woman who was killed or her father. There seems to be another uprising of ISIS (Daesh) in the middle east and northern Africa. I just wonder if you had heard the same there?
I wish the politicians could just chill and get along. It seems us regular people seem to get along fine, and have far more in common than some would like for us to think. I think each country/culture has value. Just think how much more we'd accomplish if we all got along and how much more we did do when we worked together.
I don't care for the EU or UN models, having essentially a world government either. Totalitarianism takes over very fast when there's no heritage, and then we have things such as the "Paris Climate Accord", countries using propaganda to "look as good as possible ", to be "politically correct" (a fancy way of saying they'll lie to your face and smile) and so on.
Russia and the US are very similar. We have a totalitarian government like we have never seen before here in the US, and the corruption here is worse than ever.
I hope you reply. I'm curious how people on the ground really feel about what's going on, and what is being told to different populations. I find the games being played in our media to be quite entertaining, and that some believe everything they hear to be quite sad.
I do understand why Putin stepped into Ukraine. I think it might have been handled differently, but then I don't know everything the Putin and the Duma know, or are told. I do know more than I care to about how Zalensky was installed via propaganda & how his national guard abused and murdered innocent civilian ethnic Russians, and find he and his regime to be repulsive.
Why some governments are supporting Zalensky's corrupt and installed government is rather sickening.
I hope that the war will stop, allow Luhansk and Donetsk to elect their own governments & I hope the Ukranian people will see past the propaganda and in their next elections, will choose someone who doesn't hold hatred in their heart, who is peace-loving, and who will be fair. I hope the other countries that jumped onto taking sides in the conflict will also stop, think and represent their own people and think about them, instead of risking a very rough winter for them, especially in Europe. I think the EU is totally out of control. I remember before the EU. I believe things were better then. I don't believe the EU has made things better for anyone.
Thanks for reading this.
@Pope Dogeius: Good for you, I did.
I love how your explanations work in very understandable words, making us less language savvy appreciate what might otherwise be labeled "obscure philosophical gibberish" - at least if it concerns liberalism and freedom - while at the same time exposing those who hide their authoritarian tendencies behind actual gibberish, but are applauded as intellectuals. Thinking about it, it's pretty funny how the double standard of perception of philosophers works.
A (very important) measure of intellect is the ability to address morons :D (like me..)
This analysis is one of the best I've seen so far, and I've watched dozens of both Russian and Ukrainian political youtubers weigh in on this. You're totally spot on with glossing over the "why" and cramming legitimate conjectures with total baloney, because the right answer is we have no idea and it doesn't matter at all. What matters is this war where, among all the Buchas and Mariupols, Khersons and Lisichansks, Moscow has always been a safe haven, and not anymore. And, as a Moscow resident, I'm gonna say this is more relieving than scary.
Well said. Emphasis on the "best so far", however. It's also the best BY far, yet he still has some substantial holes that are at risk of undermining his entire analysis as well as his overall position for future analyses.
@@barbarakauppi9915 which ones?
This is the only one I've seen like this but it's very intriguing
You are right when you said it is revealing. This war is showing just how weak Russia really is. And Putin will lose this war because God knows he is in the wrong. Having his military bomb civilian structures and schools and hospitals is totally wrong and he WILL end up in hell
Thank you so much for seeing and commenting!
Your 'Lebensraum' reference was spot on. The policies of Russia in occupied Ukraine (attempting to create new Russians & exterminating those who do not comply) seem VERY similar to those of the S.S. in Nazi occupied territory in WW2.
It doesn’t even need that comparison, it’s the same exact Russian expansionism.
Remember the Kholodomor? that’s how all the Russians got there in the Ukrainian region.
They just kept doing it.
I've been using the reference myself pretty regularly over the past year.
My thoughts exactly. Sudden attacks on weaker neighbors. Sounds like the radio station attack on Poland by Hitler.
It's getting really bad, the parallels between Russia's current wars and those of Hitler.
And only now is the world willing to recognize that there is no difference between the Soviets and the Nazis.
I just found your channel and can't stop watching it. What a scholar you are. RUclips gives us access to people/teachers like you that I never had in my formable years. Thank you for all your work. It is very much appreciated.
I lived in Kazakhstan for 20 years. I returned to the US 8 years ago. It's painful for me that almost no Americans without well-used passports have a clue at all about the world, including the events going on in Ukraine/Russia. I try to have nuanced discussions that address the grey areas. Impossible.
Thank you for your insightful analysis.
Yeah, the average American only cares about what the Kardashians are up to amd which one is pregnant but can't even tell you the last 5 president's of our own country or 5 random State Capitols let alone what's going on in Western Europe.
Hell, the average American didn't even know what was going on in the Middle East and we were there fighting in a war for 20 years and they still don't know what a sunni or Shia muslim are.
You know that you have a privileged perspective, where you're both near and far, within and unaffected. It would be exceptionally rare that this sort of way of seeing things opens up either to either Americans or the Russians. In a way, you have to be in that sphere of gravity, hear the voices, see the faces, but not so much that the only voice you hear is "Pravda".
Theyre getting better tho. I spent a lot of time in the US over the last 30 years. Back in the 90s, they knew almost nothing about the outside world. Maybe a little bit about England or Canada, places like that. But their geographical knowledge was awful lol. I dont mean for this to sound rude or anything, as Americans are great people, but they were extremely insular. Now that the internet has become more widespread, and younger Americans interact with other nationalities on a daily basis, they do seem to have a better understanding of whats going on. It has improved. Their general knowledge of European and Asian politics and culture is fairly decent.
Hello from KZ
One can argue that at least US citizens have little to be concerned about what happens outside of North America. It seems more difficult to say the same can be said for anyone else, including Russians.
thanks for this. Dugin’s textbook fascism is so ironic given the claimed denazification pretext.
That denazification stuff was talked about at the memorial. Unlovely!
Fascism > Nazi
@@VladVexler if you’ve never read Roger Griffin’s works on fascism (or even his reader/sourcebook) highly recommend. Hadn’t ever considered fascism as an ideology unto itself and outside the context as reactionary to liberalism/capitalism communism etc etc. worth the read.
also Payne’s History of Fascism
at 0:42 "It is one of the worst thing in the world to loose a child? Yes you are right as so many Ukrainians lost their child because of the unlimited aggression of Russians. No mercy for evil Darya Dugina.
Ukrainians and Americans have been murdering ethnic Russians in Ukraine for eight years before Outin took action.
While I don't condone killing anyone, she doesn't know any one about it and never will. By all accounts she wasn't a particularly decent person. So the fact she chose this path and now her father is having to deal with his daughters death every day. The term "you reap what you sow" springs to mind.
Oh my God, thank you. Finally someone explains this in English - Dugin isn't influential in Russia. This was likely done over money or because he crossed the FSB.
A car bomb is also Ukrainian modus operandi to get rid of turn coats.
But I daubt that they did it. Her father and herself are just not important enough to do it.
@@sebastianriemer1777 Exactly. If Ukrainians were operating that deep inside Russia, they'd strike somebody actually important instead of Dugin. Or his daughter, lol.
@@sebastianriemer1777 I've always thought Dugin's daughter was vaporized by home-grown Russian partisans who wanted the father-daughter duo to shut up.
@@sebastianriemer1777 Surely that’s very helpful to conflate the issue by using the favoured method of someone who you’d like people to think might have done it?

Hi Vlad,
I have watched all of your videos from Feb 2022 to this point in both this channel and the Chat channel, and I’m recommending them to as many people as I can in RUclips. In my opinion you offer the most accurate insight and knowledge of the true motivations and objectives of Putin as well as the political and social environments of Russia.
Stay healthy, and I look forward to more videos from you.
Thank you SO much!
Many years ago I got to know a Russian expat in Argentina. He was a sort of friendly gangster that had seen, and probably done, many bad things in his life. But that is unrelated to the poignant memory I have about him. He said that the way you can summarize 'things' in Russia is that these always end in big catastrophes. At the time I couldn't really understand what he meant, yet I was impressed by these words of pity toward his country. Now, studying a bit more in depth about Russian damned past and present I can make much more sense of them.
Thank you Vlad for helping in this process.
I saw someone recently summarise the entire Russian history with the phrase: "and then things got worse".
I saw this headline and I said "uh-oh" - Vexler's onto it. I checked the thumbs up and went straight for the comment. Now - deserves popcorn but I'll settle for coffee.
"Armed robbery to steal a haddock" - love it. Glad you are looking well, thanks for the insights.

What Darya Dugina didn’t realize by following her fathers views is that ideals are peaceful and history is violent 💥
Your insight of DUGIN is very informative and the LEADER'S IN THE WEST SHOULD LISTEN......
Thank you!
Watching your videos and listening to your words are an intellectual feast. Not that I concur with everything you say, but surely listening to you is very educative. Not many on this platform can equal your knowledge and education about Russia.

In German, we call people like Dugin Schwurbler. Pretty untranslateable.
A person who makes confusing and unproven points, could be confused by themselves and not aware of their argumentative shortcomings but all the more poignant and convinced.
I would call Heidegger a part time Schwurbler for it is said he made good introductory seminaires.
Corona gave a lot of them a stage.

Schwurbler. I get a mental image of a bird screaming nonsense. Or some woke liberal in the US expousing some poorly thought out manifesto of how they demand things should be.

@@markrice41 So true, not only "over there" :)
Looking forward to your next video in light of this week's events
Very interesting. As a person who lived through 90s in Russia I have somewhat interconnected, but a more simple one. Bandits always killed each other in 90s and 00s for the one main reason - MONEY. I tend to think it is the same story here. Majority of population there thinks in the same framework (unfortunately), and the cost of life is nothing. I suspect Dugins started to interfere with the area of influence of others, most likely top military staff. And once there is a threat for cash flow, the reaction is immediate. And the most sufficient way to send the message in that country? No person - no problem.
that is also the reason for the invasion of ukraine competition in oil and gas? boom!?
@@brenthargreaves7085 There can not be something like `Ukraine competition` when Russia has eradicated the Ukrainian identity and the Ukrainian state.
So they `BOOM` the perfect solution: no Ukraine means no war and no competition for the Russian system of `survival of the bandits`
@@brenthargreaves7085
That's probably at least part of it.
The oligarchs would certainly enjoy having those gas fields for themselves...
I absolutely agree with you about interference in the west. In Holland, a relatively new party Forum for Democracy is a big supporter of Putin. At one point, the leader, Thierry Baudet, did not have the money to start a party and that has emerged from emails. Strangely enough, at a certain point there was suddenly enough and the party was very popular because it picked up all the problems including immigration and Covid and the restriction of freedom. Funding is now being investigated and suspected of Kremlin interference, as has Marie Le Pen who financed her party with a loan from Moscow. What is also terrifying is that there are many propagandists active on RUclips and every now and then I get involved in discussions with their followers. It's too late for them but I hope others read my comments and have doubts about what is suggested in the videos and I see this as a task to fight for Democracy.
This is everywhere in Europe. FSB general Beseda had a huge budget to influence things in Ukraine and it got public only because he stole it. I suppose Russia has similar budgets for all European (and some other) countries.
@@JudeMalachi It's not anti-democratic to slap down politicians who are the paid shills of a hostile foreign power and using funding from that nation to spread disinformation, sow chaos and undermine the democratic intuitions they are supposed to be part of. In less liberal times, those people would be called traitors.
@@JudeMalachi I do fight what influencers post on RUclips on behalf of Putin. Furthermore, I cannot call populism the path to Democracy. It is clear that certain political parties want to take power in several countries of Europe through expressions of populism and if you are not allowed to name that because it would not be democratic, what is Democracy in your opinion.
@Miroskav Dusin I know this is everywhere in Europe, but Baudet (French for Donkey BTW) is one of the most dangerous ones out there. Brexit, Ukraine EU association referendum, the anti-COVID movement and now with the Dutch farmer protests: He's there everytime. He's also evolved from more sovereign Putin allies like Wilders. Wilders is part of the league of Le Pen, Salvini, Orban, AfD, etc. while Baudet could be Putin's son when looking at his behavior. Baudet is the man Vlad has been warning for, because if we don't look out for it he's going to make Putin more popular in Western Europe the rest of the 2020s and 2030s.
FORUM FOR DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE BETTER NAMED FORUM FOR DICTATORSHIP !!! BAUDET IS A HYPOCRITE AND A RACIST !
"Committing armed robbery to steal a haddock"...nearly broke me.
Honest question for you, Vlad. Do you do these videos in Russian as well as English? If not, I would humbly suggest you really should. Not a Russian speaker myself, just feel that there is a dearth of honest content available for them in their native language.
If he did, he should have his underwear analyzed every day.
Have you heard of Max Katx before...vlad recommended watching him and I'd surely do the same for Russian speakers.
there is tremendous amount of content in russian, literally dozens and dozens of journalists, independent tv channels, etc - much much more than in english actually. problem isn't at all in the lack of content, it's bubbles in which people exist. Just like there is a lot of content on both right and left in the US, but people on one side rarely have any awareness of what the other side is saying or doing. Bubbles.
@@igvc1876 Apparently the popular talk about „filter bubbles“ and „echo chambers“ does not have a good empirical basis. People who access news through social media and search engines likely even acquire a politically more diverse information diet. Compare for example:
„The Routledge Companion to Media Disinformation and Populism“; „More diverse, more politically varied: How social media, search engines and aggregators shape news repertoires in the United Kingdom“; „Political Communication“ in „Oxford Handbook of Poli Psych“.
@@janvisagie231 The most intuitive way I can explain Katz after watching him is: While Dugin wants Russia to hardcore rape Ukraine, Katz wants Ukraine "only" to give a blowjob.
She was inciting the killing of Ukranians...so Karma got her.
And what killing is the west inciting and what will be their pay back!

This is terrifying. I'm American 40 years old, and I see so many American politicians going down the road toward fascism and stripping away our rights, out last president incited a coup to over throw our votes and so many Americans don't even admit it!! It's terrifying. I am sure many Russians are good people and don't want Putin or the oppression he stands for. I am so thankful we have the internet and can connect with each other. Thank you for this video. My ultimate wish is for peace and love to the world ❤️🌏
Not fascism... Stalin's version of communism
I have seen two of your posts/comments and each one touched me so as a compatriot thank you ❤. Thank God and your intelligence for spotting the flaws in Trump and his lack of integrity. I actually saw that some of Trump's goals were worthy but he is not slightly flawed but rather deeply flawed as an individual and now we have to deal with Ted Cruz and others like him who deceive and lead us down dark paths. It is scary that so many people don't spot the fake and seem to have like...vacuous or numb souls. Be well !!
Lebensraum. exactly the right word. fascism.
Thank you for a great analysis. It always amazes me how dense and nuanced you deliver your speech. I also really loved the production of this video, especially the audio. In spite of having quite a bit of clearly audible music in the background, it never interfered with your voice. I know from experience that It takes time, patient and diligence to master a production on this level. Most RUclipsrs never get close to this. On top of being on another level intellectually, you have now added another layer of professionalism to your videos. Dang man! You’re a real pro now. Awesome job. 🤩👍🏼👍🏼
He's got to have a production team, it's too good. How gifted can one man be.
Thank you so much! This video wasn’t quite finished!! A few things were out of whack.
@@VladVexler Even if it wasn’t quite finished, it was notably good. I know there were few naysayers here, (mostly for personal reasons) but I feel they should have complimented you instead of being so condescendingly complaining, especially the one I conversed with who claimed to be a professional. When people make effort of improving, it’s my believe that you should let them know about it and be encouraging. Many people have no idea how much work goes into making a good video. I know how hard it is in the beginning to get things right that go into making a video. You don’t always know which steps are right and you have to think about it and now, there are softwares with myriads of options and it can be disorienting for a while at first to figure them out, instead of using them because they are there and look just so amazing, so why not? Often you don’t see how unbalanced or bad it looks, until you are watching it like everyone else. So in that light, yours was pretty good and the complains were exaggerated in my opinion. Small imperfections like that happens to everyone early on. So don’t sweat it. Once you get a hang of it it gets easier. Even though I’m sure thinking philosophically must always be kind of difficult, Im sure at the beginning of your studies it must have caused you quite a bit headache, but about 3 years later there was a system of thinking philosophically, that you kinda didn’t think about, because that thinking was already in your head as a part of a flow system. Now you sound like it’s second nature to you, way better than I’ve heard anyone talk. Great Job. 🙌🏼😉
Your talk of people blindly outsourcing their politics is very true for us here in America. The general voting populace is either un-informed or misinformed and will simply vote on political party lines without knowing the policies or history of policies the politicians install that effect our lives.
Yeah but compared to Russia it's a lot better, the human brain is not designed to be curious of these things or how to extrapolate the past and present.
Granted America is quite possibly one of the most ignorant democracies in the world, but there is far more engagement than Russia still.
I was gripped from the beginning... love the style, half narration, half personal commentary, unbiased and clear...
Amazing to watch... this was my first video and I'm already a fan.
Great Job Mr Vexler
Thank you! And welcome! There also a second channel called Vlad Vexler Chat, for casual longer form content.
So, good, so passionate, so articulate. Better than fiction, Vlad's Russian reality, dissected and illuminated with subtlety, humour and something very uniquely Vexler, an ability to be both utterly brilliant - and perfectly aware of the brilliance - while remaining charmingly humble and human.
That is very beautiful, thank you Ludwig!!
Superb Vlad, I really love your analysis and how your grasp of politics, political theory & history, philosophy, psychology and sociology is put to good use. Sir you've got almost a full spectrum insight on these topics, chapeau!
Another fascist burns, I weep no tears and my ancestors rejoice in the afterlife...
Been watching your videos for a while now. Great content and insights as usual. Always looking forward to your new material. Keep it up man!
Thank you Pascal!
This is all completely relevant and incredibly insightful months later
Dugina, R.I.P. (Rest In Pieces - in many pieces). I'm sorry for the innocent car, such a good car.
Evil comes in many forms. Even a beautiful woman can be an outlet for Satan💯
Vlad, This was so interesting I could not help but to assign to your channel. Looking forward to watching and learning more. Thankyou!
Vlad, you’ve become my reliable source of choice for all things Russian. Your videos not only are super informed, but also possess a philosophical depth that is extremely rare on the Net. AND they’re very enjoyable to watch.
As to the Dugina killing, as an over-50 Italian who grew up through the Strategy of Tension and the Years of Lead, I must say this attack reeks of false flag operation miles away. Whoever did this had their own Strategy of Tension agenda: generate a rally around the flag effect and provide for a perfect excuse for a further clampdown on dissidents. Dugin was a perfect candidate: famous enough -especially in the West, as you pointed out- to leverage his death, but not politically relevant enough to create a power vacuum with his death.
I’m no geopolitical scientist and I’m not a Russian but, at face value, this does look to me as the likeliest explanation.
Really appreciate your words!! My goal, which is sometimes clearer on the Chat channel, is to explore how to look and think and make sense of what is in front of us. In the world of politics. And culture more widely. That’s the depth element - which in a sense makes the videos much more than just about the topic covered. That’s my hope anyway, I know I don’t always succeed. I am still learning all this, especially how to operate on this very strange app!!
@@VladVexler 🤣🤣🤣
False flag ops are how Putin garnered support for the 2nd Chechen war. The evidence for the false flag was overwhelming until the FSB silenced further investigation. With support for Ukraine increasing in the West, Putin needed an event to garnish more support abroad. Dugin was perfect - a western popular intellectual outside of the inner circle.
@@meso8848 If what you said is true, Putin wouldn't have had to resort to a false flag. It is weird how the FSB found the suspect in 24 hours when political assassinations are 20-year cold cases.
@@stuie999
I cogent and nuanced argument you put forward .... (sarcasm)
If you cannot either be bothered, or are not able to construct a sentence, i suggest you leave the conversation to the adults in the room.
"totalitarian liberalism" made my day: The perfect illustration of how Russian fascism is contradicting itself.
It’s a farcically unironic mischaracterisation by Dugin (Darya just follows him), and a gross one. But it’s not incoherent and it is an open question how much truth it contains. Moreover, Dugin means it in a special sense - he is pushing against liberalism’s universal aspirations.
@@VladVexler Thank you, that's good input! In my understanding, true liberalism ceases to exist where someone tries to push it by totalitarian means. I actually feel saddened by the totalitarian way many western activists try to force their ideologies, which they imho misinterpret for liberalism, on all of humanity. That is where I perhaps could understand Dugin's anti-western stance.
To me it looks a bit like being afraid of a scarecrow: It's not alive, it can't attack you, but it resembles everything you fear.
I personally am so disappointed to see geopolitics still being driven mainly by trying to either fix or destroy behaviours in OTHER countries, instead of giving and taking good examples from each other, while learning from known errors.
No matter how far we came with well-tried power politics, in this day and age the danger of nuclear annihilation leaves less and less room for error.
Thank you, Vlad, for your contribution to understanding who we are, and who we could be 💪👍
Thank you Vlad for all your hard work 💜
Judith thank you!
This is why I believe that Dugin did what 'normal minded 'people would have thought would be impossible, He martyred his own daughter. This must surely be the logical answer.
Excellent presentation Vlad. Many thanks.
9:12 "That's a bit like committing armed robbery to steal a haddock." I laughed out loud! You are the greatest.
Why is Russia always so late to the game? Didn't they also have to experience the suffering and misery of the war about 80 years ago? Or has this simply been forgotten there? Or are they so megalomaniac in Russia that they think they are immune to National Socialism aka fascism? I still don't understand it. Our great-grandfathers here in Germany reaped in 1945 what they had sown before. You always reap what you sow. That's a classic wisdom! And the Dugins have obviously reaped what they have sown before.
I seriously doubt Russians have forgotten about the horrors of war. With 25 million dead during WW2 and the fact they commemorate the “ Great Patriotic War” on an annual basis gives me reason to be believe the exact opposite of what you think.
In fact it is we in the west,more particularly North Americans , who really have no idea of what it is to be invaded and subjected to horrific atrocities. Even though many Russians may understand the political and geopolitical reasons for this conflict I’m certain their consciences are distressed by the reality of this invasion.
Putin is the first Russian leader that didn’t have a direct experience of the Second World War.
National Socialism and Fascism are very different.
@@evzenvarga9707 Apart from the fact Fascism originated in Italy and Nazism in Germany how are they very different in your opinion? Both primarily involve the fusing of the state and capitalism. Fascism didn’t involve racist and ethnic genocide as did Nazism. Apart from that how are they “ very different “.?
@@Juan_lauda Perhaps he didn’t have “direct “ experience but as a child and a youth he obviously had the direct and fresh experience of the aftermath of devastation. Along with being immersed with people who did have direct experience.
The tragedy is that Putin has suppressed the "reasonable" opposition so thoroughly that the only possible replacements for Putin are the ones who think he isn't being aggressive enough.
The guy second to Putin is actually far worse. Russia will have to get rid of the entire regime if they are interested in reform.
Xi has....Will have...the Very Same problem!!
@@wz7285 Problem? More of an advantage
Love your stuff. Short, sweet and right up xxxx!
Gosh I love these videos!
The “constructive thought provoking” it creates in my mind is incredibly satisfying.
The moment I heard about this assassination, I considered it an action from “behind the scenes” to give plausible legal reasons to escalate the conflict towards Ukraine.
And my gosh YES. I have seen SO MUCH , BLATANTLY OBVIOUS influences from Russia and from China as well , to twist and undermine the very foundations that democracy is built on.
Well done , take care of yourself 🙏👍🏻🇦🇺
I've read that Dugin used to organize performances for the youth during which his daughter played the role of a woman commiting self-immolation for the good of Russia. Dugin himself was obsessed with death, sacrifice, particularly of one's child, and occultism. Since that was what really happened to her, his involvement in Daria's death is highy probable.
Did anybody ever see "The Rite of Spring"?
😳 🤔 WTF
Wow,if so.. that's really messed up in the head. What should surprise me at this point?.. people are believing such absurdities in this modern world,things that I would've thought laughable only 5 or 10 years ago.
😮Wow!
Man, such analysis is beyond qualification! It is not only good. It's ESSENTIAL
Точка.
Thank you!
How incredibly sad. I agree, it just didn’t have to be this way. I am very worried about the anti-democratic influences in the West.
The world is run by rich global elites, money and power hand in hand. I like the way this guy turns a discussion into the murder of a daughter of a Russian extreme nationalist, into a general Western liberal democracies are threatened by those who think their governments don't represent them. This war has been contrived to further interests that are not those of the Russian people. Don't believe always what you are being told.
@@PopularesVox From my observations, there is a greater awareness among people across the world of the scams that the elite run; however, there is still little that the average person can do to turn the tide of events. Putin is responsible for his actions, but, in my opinion, US foreign policy as outlined by the neo-conservatives since the collapse of the Soviet Union plays a big role in many of our current dilemmas. As always, it’s a good time to be a “defense” contractor.
@@AlteredState1123 Indeed large oil/gas companies and the military industrial complex have made a pile out of this war so far. Whist thousands of people on both sides have died. This war is abomination and lies and deceit continue to be propagated by those who's interests it serves.
@@PopularesVox But, what to do as an individual and what is the outcome for which to hope? In the meantime, the real enemy with which we should be contending is the climate catastrophe. We just can’t seem to get over the human conflicts. We are clever but incredibly stupid primates. Here’s to a better world.
*Greetings to the blogger from the Russian blogger! Thank you for the issue on the topic of Dugina👍🏻* An interesting fact is that her car burned down all over, and the photos from her funeral do not show burns on her

highly doubt thats dugina in that coffin
its some doll or something
Did she get out
Notifications>On. You are an amazing speaker!
Fantastic video, I especially enjoyed your informative description of the western perceived influence of Dugin, which is based in western wishes to find a mythical Rasputin type figure in Russia , and the actual lack of Dugins influence in Russia. good sense of humor too, you got a new sub
Ah, I get it. Dugin is Russia's Chomsky. You know, the wise old guy with a beard who must be very intelligent and correct because most people have no idea what he is talking about. Strangely both of them seem to want Russia to have ownership of Ukraine. Albeit for different reasons.
Well, they are sort of the same reason. Geopolitics.
But Chomsky is particularly myopic when it comes to this, in any issue he seems to consider only the US and counter-US reaction disregarding any agency of other actors, both logically and morally it seems.
@@Sindrijo Yes, that what pains me. A total disregard of the fact the people elsewhere are also sentient beings with feelings and thoughts of their own. "Agency" as you put it.
It worries me because that dehumanisation of "others" is what allowed Hitler's Germany to do what it did and now drives Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
I don't think Chomsky has ever advocated for senseless slaughter and occupation of territory; he makes the argument why Russia would perceive Ukrain and NATO as a threat to her sovereignty which can't be denied. However the gross and disgusting actions by the Putin regime cannot be understated
Really great video. Thank you❤
The one things that's rather difficult for me to pin down, is what's the truth about Dugin's popularity. Some reports say he's vastly praised and loved, others say he's rather inconsequential and irrelevant.
My friends in Israel, who moved here from Russia several years ago (and naturally, detest Putin and are against this war), have told me that Dugin is the Russian equivalent to Jordan Peterson, and that he's truly popular with common people.
I hope you're correct, and that he's a mostly irrelevant, angry little fascist.
Look for Foundations of Geopolitics wiki. Its about dugin's book. Very easy to see his stuffs are being used by Putin. Dugin's opinions and stuffs he published from others elsewhere seem to signal that he performed honor killing on his daughter.
@@meatrealwishes I'll certainly look into the book you suggested, thanks, but my comment was not about the motives of Dugina's killing, but rather, questioning the claim that Dugin is "irrelevant" or "unpopular"
I don't know of one russian in israel who doesn't detest putin. Which is a very good thing, because we have enough challenges.
yea but jordan peterson isnt popular with common people in North America, he's popular with fascists. Im a common man , and i hate that drug addict's guts.
@@letXeqX According to the recent statistics I saw, about 40% of Jews in Israel who are originally from Russia, said that they perceive Russia to be a threat to the State of Israel, as opposed to average Israelis, where the number was nearly 70%. Putin support is mostly popular with the older, "Soviet Aliyah" generation, and I've heard it a lot amongst them, unfortunately.
But to be honest, I've heard more mindless Likudniks saying "Putin is right!" than I have Russians.
Your nuanced recitation and gesticulation while delivering us "the Dugin" is awesome! Please... more of that! :D
nuanced....
Your prediction was spot on! Putin declared "partial" mobilization yesterday.
An interesting and well-considered analysis of Dugina's killing and what it really means, not just for Russia, but for us in the west.
Thank you!
Brilliant analysis. I'm born under Moskva's military Boot. I was raised, while our intelligence discussed the mechanics of the Russian State, literary every day. I have studied and heard a lot, but this analysis gave me unknown perspectives.
This is the fourth feed of yours I have listened to today despite the sunshine outside. It is so good to have found your channel. For other excellent first hand information I regularly listen to INSIDE RUSSIA - Konstantin Samoilov. It is so good for us ignoramuses to hear from Russians. Thank you so much..
The almost "perfect" footage of Dugin with his hands to his head and a burning car seems suspicious to me. And all Russian media published this footage immediately or the day after the event.
I also suspect that this was her 'sacrifice' for their ideology to rise to spotlight, a planned martyr situation
It was the babushka lady on the grassy knoll being covered by the three tramps while E. Howard Hunt played a lookout from the storm drain.
I knew the Dugina conspiracies would start soon.
This has entered my mind. I think most people when watching their child die, would hardly be standing tall with their hands on their head. I think I my body would be like a ball in the ground and my hands would be covering my face. that would be contorted with crying in horror.
For those not in the know, Dugin's views are pretty well summarised in his "Foundations of Geopolitics" book, which is a required reading in many Russian educational institutions.
It serves putin propaganda machine.
And in the russian military.
OMG.
I love your insightful candor.
Maybe he sacrificed his own daughter. He did, after all, change vehicles at the last minute.
Aryan Dugina *R.I.P.* ("Rest In Pieces" - in many pieces).
Sad about the vehicle, a big loss. It was such a good Toyota.
Thousand of years of imprinted slavery is very difficult to change
You sumarize the whole mess in understandable words and logical sense thank you Vlad
Putin and his inner circle treats Russia like a CEO would treat his business. Russia is Putins business and his greates achievement. And if you as to dare critisise his company or it's policies, he will make sure that you will be disciplined accordingly and remind you who's in charge of this business or he will make sure that you wish you signed your resignation letter.
Interesting observations, a way of thinking, it is refreshing to hear a person who has democracy in his blood and can add such different colors to his voice. I liked it again Vlad, Good job.

I think Darya is alive. Her car was so demolished it was flat, yet she looked perfect in her coffin. And her father was smiling at her funeral.
No. She really died, he was crying over her body in the road. He's just a madman and her death has just reenforced his psychosis, rather than causing him to rethink what they did to bring this on theirselves.

EDIT: I actually came back to watch this for a second time. Made me think we really have to redefine what the war is.
How is your top theory that dugin has little influence in Russia and simultaneously the Russian government killed dugina because they are too powerful???? Those two ideas don’t match
To a rational person you are correct, but as Vlad has said many times, Putin's perceived threats are based out of paranoia rather than reality, from that viewpoint it does make perfect sense.
You may have outdone yourself! Your philosophical and analytical approach combined with your deep knowledge and thorough understanding of the historical and political background of Putin and the Dugans is on full display. Your use of multiple camera angles combined with the well timed use of video clips of their own words made for a professional looking presentation! Always looking forward to your thoughts.

If Dugin really knew that his daughter was about to die, then that says more about him that all his philosophical speeches on “ontological levels” and “Russian dasein”. Simply put, a horrid person.

I love your videos -- complex, vivid, well-edited -- and you incredibly remind me so much of Mischa Auer, one of my favourite comedians of the 1930s. Watch him in "My Man Godfrey" as the Russian "protege." of a wealthy American woman, and in "You Can't Take It With You" as the hungry Russian ballet teacher to a family of eccentric philosophers. His animated arms and rolling eyes made him famous -- and funny. His lugubrious vocal tones made him ever so "Russian" to American audiences, but to me, he was, of course, Russian-Jewish, and his joking references to Minsk (pronounced exaggeratedly as "Meeensk") reminded me of my own family's Jewish jokes. Seeing you is a bit like still having him alive. Also, you happen to be a great intellectual and philosopher ... but then, so was Mischa Auer.
Thanks Vlad, another excellent video! Do you think more incidents like this are likely to happen as power shifts start to happen?
Basically, yes - the war has destabilised the Putin regime, to some degree, and the ingredients in the pot of Russian politics will be more volatile and toxic.
Let’s hope so…
@@VladVexler
Yes, the throne of the Tzar began to swing, at least it seems so
@@VladVexler The death of Daria Dugina is such an ambiguous and mysterious event that it offers endless opportunities for speculation. Even Wikipedia, the normally sober and matter-of-fact “People’s Encyclopedia” descends into conspiratorial speculation in the entry “Daria Dugina.” For example: “Her body appeared suspiciously intact at the funeral considering the way she allegedly died, leading some to believe her killing was staged.” Was she the target, or was it her father? Was this a “False Flag” operation, like the apartment-building bombings reportedly engineered by the FSB to enrage popular opinion against the Chechen rebels? Will it ever be possible to identify the attackers and their motives, given the lack of any reliable source of information, and the enthusiasm with which propagandists on all sides have seized on the story? This churning of reality and speculation is extremely alarming, given what is at risk in the Nuclear Age.
Tho less extreme than the Dug-ins of this world, many people around me don't care deeply about the human suffering caused on the ground. Those who discuss Ukraine seem to prefer a mindgame about resentment of America and Russia and fakeness of news. When I give them the fullest, balanced picture that I can within a conversation, they thank me for the new perspective, but for them it remains ultimately about their feelings, their own lives, their mindgames.
Politics means so little if one doesn't ground it in caring for everyone's inner experiencing + striving for wholesome day by day living.
Thanks as ever Vlad. Clear and easy to grasp analysis. 👌
Pleasure!
