Early looks
Во времена СССР Дугин Александр исповедовал radical anti-Soviet views. He was an ardent anti-communist and conservative. He wanted to replace the Soviet regime with a conservative one. He cannot yet name the system of a political system. According to the testimony of Alexander himself, he even drove his son to spit on a monument to Lenin, to such an extent his views were radical at that time. He was fond of occultism and Satanism, for which he was expelled from the national-patriotic front "Memory". There is evidence of his connection with dissident writers.
Post-Soviet period
With the collapse of the USSR, Dugin Alexander changed hislook at the Soviet model of governance. He meets Eduard Limonov and a well-known musician, lead singer of the Civil Defense group, Yegor Letov (who also opposed the Soviet leadership in the 80s). Together with them organizes the National Bolshevik Party. During the coup in Moscow, he defended the Supreme Council.
At this time, its ideology begins to take shape,which is the “fourth” way. There are several books in which he presents his position: "The Templars of the Proletariat", "The Conservative Revolution", "The Mysteries of Eurasia" and others. Alexander criticizes liberalism and “Americanism”, is in tough opposition to Yeltsin. He believes that humanity has reached an ideological dead end, that all the political courses of the 20th century (fascism, communism, liberalism) have exhausted themselves. Therefore, it offers its own way - Eurasianism. That is a kind of symbiosis of left-wing totalitarian ideas with the base of the "new right". The National Bolshevik Party is gaining a huge number of adherents, especially among radical young people. In 1998, leaves the NBP due to disagreements with Limonov.

The political system will be the quintessence of Stalinism and neo-conservatism. This idea has gained widespread support in many countries.
