'''Alexander Dugin''' (Russian: Александр Дугин) is a [[Russian Federation|Russian]] philosopher and political analyst. 
He is co-founder of the now banned [[National Bolshevik Party]], the founder of the [[Eurasia Party]], ideologue of [[Fourth Political Theory]], and a leading figure in neo-Eurasianism. He has influenced the [[Northern Expansionism|Northern Expansionists]] in the United States. 

Dugin got his start in politics as an anti-communist activist in the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] during the 1980s. After the USSR dissolved, he founded the National Bolshevik Party with Eduard Limonov, which he later left. Following his leaving the NBP, he developed neo-Eurasianism and founded the Eurasia Party in 2002. He also developed the Fourth Political Theory, which was laid out in his 2009 book of the same name. 

Dugin is widely characterized as a [[Fascism|fascist]] by [[Leftism|Leftists]], which has been thoroughly debunked by [[Haz Al-Din|Haz]] and other Dugin scholars.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXjkJrk7y98 Aleksandr Dugin: The Most Misunderstood Man in the World]</ref><ref>https://www.firstthings.com/article/2023/02/alexander-dugin-explained</ref>

== Contribution to Marxism-Leninism ==

According to [[Haz Al-Din]], the thought of Dugin, along with that of[[Martin Heidegger | Heidegger]], is required for having a non-metaphysical understanding of [[Karl Marx | Marx]] in the West. This is most thoroughly explored in Haz's Twitter thread and Substack "Marxism is Not Woke".<ref>[https://showinfrared.substack.com/p/marxism-is-not-woke Marxism is not Woke]</ref>
