About this listen

 This analysis explores the ideological foundations of Putin's regime, focusing on the influence of three key thinkers: Ivan Ilyin, Lev Gumilev, and Carl Schmitt. Ilyin's Christian fascism shapes Russia's self-image and political structure; Gumilev's Eurasianism underpins foreign policy; Schmitt justifies lawlessness and authoritarian rule. The episode critiques Western misunderstandings and highlights the persistence of fascist and anti-democratic ideas in modern Russia.
