The roots of Russia’s neo-Eurasianism
The roots of Russia’s neo-Eurasianism

Summary/Abstract: Within the last several years, neo-Eurasianist ideas of Alexander Dugin and others have been incorporated into Russia’s key strategic policies. As a result, a doctrine created by Vladimir Putin heavily based on neo-Eurasianism has provided justification for efforts to restore the unity of the “Russian nation”. Therefore, any state unwilling to pursue this pro-Russian, neo-Eurasian agenda can be subjected to political and economic pressure, often with severe implications, as was Crimea’s case.
