The Kremlin's chief ideologue made a high-profile statement.

Alexander Dugin, who is considered a key ideologue of the "Russian world," has unleashed a series of panicked posts in response to the elimination of the regime in Iran. He is confident that Russia will be the next target. Dugin shared his opinion in his personal blog on Telegram, Dialog.UA reports.

After reporting on the elimination of Supreme Ruler Ali Khamenei in Iran, the philosopher wrote: "The last bell has rung for Russia."

He predicts a repeat of the Iranian scenario for the Kremlin. "I believe that the strategy of creating the image that everything is fine in Russia and peaceful life is going its way has exhausted itself. We are next... In a global sense, everything depends on how much the IRGC will hold out. If Iran holds out, everything can go in the opposite direction. If it collapses, we are next," the Z-philosopher complained.

He admired US President Donald Trump's determination and swiftness, but called him "pure evil" for dismantling the Iranian regime. Dugin demanded immediate militarization, large-scale personnel rotations, and mobilization from the Kremlin, which he said the Russian government "does not want to do."

He also called for the aggression against Ukraine to be renamed the "Sword of Catechon," expressing confidence that after that "everything will go differently" and the Russian Federation will finally start winning.

Dugin also wondered what would happen to Russia if the West repeats its operation in Russia and eliminates Vladimir Putin "Well, forgive my impertinence, I will ask the obvious. Are we prepared for such a scenario? Do we have a protocol for action? Do we have a strong structure that will hold Russia together in the event of anything?" - Z-philosopher inquired.
