Dugin Called For The Mobilization Of Muscovites From Patriarch's Ponds

For the sake of a “holy war” against the West.
Muscovites who are enjoying life at Patriarch’s Ponds will have to be mobilized and sent to the front, since Russia is waging a “sacred people’s war” against the West that could “lead to the end of humanity.” This opinion expressed by the eccentric philosopher Alexander Dugin, author of the concept of “Eurasianism” and one of the leading ideologists of the “Russian World.”
According to Dugin, he “doesn’t understand” why, during wartime, “the illusion of carefree living persists.” “Like, it’s no big deal, everything’s fine—we’ll go for a walk on Patriarch’s Ponds, take some selfies, and everything will be okay,” he writes.
“We are waging a direct, head-on, civilizational war with the West, which we do not fully understand and do not fully recognize as our true enemy. Being in battle in such a half-asleep state is deadly dangerous,” Dugin exclaims.
He compares those “strolling around on Patrick Street” to “rear-line ants” and cites certain biological experiments, according to which such ants “create the appearance of bustling activity,” but only get to work if the worker ants are removed from the anthill. “The rear-line ants <�…> will be mobilized when the main resource runs out,” Dugin writes.
A figure on the sanctions lists of the U.S., the European Union, and Canada, and the author of the “Solar Putin” concept, Dugin has previously called for treating employees of law enforcement agencies (the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, and the Russian Guard) as “messengers of God,” claimed that Russians are being monitored by Western-made household appliances, including coffee grinders and electrical outlets, and, following the “Oreshnik” missile strikes on Ukraine, urged everyone to “be baptized” immediately due to the imminent end of the world.
In March 2026, Dugin—whom Western media called “Putin’s mentor”—called for increased state control over the people and urged the people themselves to accept their suffering as inevitable. “We Russians have always suffered throughout history. Such is our fate. We are a great people, and if we have been treated unjustly by anyone, it is only for the sake of humility and glory,” Dugin explained.
