Dugin's statement comes amid political tensions in Serbia and has provoked a range of reactions, highlighting the complex relations between Russia and Serbia.
Aleksandar Dugin, who is considered an ideologue of Russian President Vladimir Putin, declared in his original program on Radio Sputnik that Aleksandar Vučić is finished and has no support from the citizens. He said on the broadcast that the legitimacy of the Serbian leader, Aleksandar Vučić, has disappeared.
We recall that on June 28, new student protests took place in Serbia, the participants of which demanded early parliamentary elections. According to the Ministry of Interior, about 35,000 people gathered in Belgrade. According to the Archive of Public Gatherings, about 140,000 people were present at the protest on Slavija Square, organized by the students in the blockade, during the memorial silence.
-"The state supports Vučić and there is no support from the people"
"All Serbs want Vučić to go. Today, in fact, the state supports him and there is no support from the people. The only thing that is happening is that those people who are afraid of another color revolution are not participating in protests, are not going out into the streets, are not shouting. But Vučić is finished, his legitimacy is gone ," Dugin said.
The Russian philosopher believes that the protesters on the streets reflect the opinion of all Serbian society, which is unlikely to endanger the current government.
"I think these protests are aimed at making Vučić disappear somewhere. That is, no compromise, no agreement, no realization of any concrete pragmatic goal will solve the situation here. Vučić must go. This is the opinion of Serbian society ," Dugin concluded.
Dugin's statement comes amid political tensions in Serbia and has provoked a range of reactions, highlighting the complex relations between Russia and Serbia, especially after Dugin has criticized the protests for months, saying the West is carrying out a color revolution in Serbia.
According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Russia hopes that the protests in Serbia will be resolved based on the country's constitution and laws.
"We are monitoring the situation. We are interested in the unrest calming down in accordance with the constitution and laws of this friendly country, as Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said ," Lavrov said.
What is Moscow's real policy?
If we compare Dugin's statements on the one hand with those of Lavrov and Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesmen who supported Vučić, on the other, we have not yet seen what Moscow's real policy is.
Just a few months ago, on March 15 to be precise, when there was a massive protest by students and citizens against the government in Belgrade, Dugin said that he believes in the Serbian nation and that Serbian patriots will stand in defense of Serbia in these difficult times.
“ I believe that Serbian patriots will defend Serbia itself. It doesn’t matter what you think about Vučić, this is not about him, but about Serbia, which is above every politician and has existed since ancient times. It is an incredible, fiery and magical country. If you lose it now, you will never be able to regain it, ” Dugin said at the time in an interview with Belgrade Politika.
Dugin went on to emphasize that Serbs, unfortunately, sometimes betray themselves. " This is, after all, your fate and history. The two color revolutions now could lead to disintegration and complete collapse," he said.
He said that if Serbia were now to work more actively on building relations with the Trump administration, it could become a model for European countries.
The architect and “spiritual guide” of the invasion of Ukraine
Dugin is a Russian far-right writer and ideologue who describes himself as the architect or "spiritual guide" of the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine.
He has long called for Russia to annex Ukraine and is one of the leading ideologues of the Russian neo-Eurasian movement, which political scientists describe as fascist because it promotes a far-right view of Russia’s place on the international stage. Putin has sometimes echoed Dugin’s expansionist language and views, and although the extent of the ideologue’s influence in the Kremlin is unclear, he is sometimes described as “Putin’s brain.”
He is often portrayed as one of Russia's leading ideologues close to the Kremlin, as well as to the Russian military and secret services. He is a favorite of the European right, while the left often calls him a fascist. He despises the world elite, American liberalism and Western concepts of democracy, considers the war against Ukraine a prerequisite for the revival of the Russian Empire, and is the author of the famous statement that the American Empire must be destroyed. This ideologist, who is also known as Putin's Rasputin, has long been under US sanctions.
It is indicative that, since the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has increased its diplomatic efforts, and perhaps even some more, in the Western Balkans, which the West, apparently with very good reason, sees as the area most vulnerable to possible new Russian actions as a broader consequence of the aggression against Ukraine, not only as a way to harm the EU and NATO, but also to expand the Kremlin's sphere of influence in Europe. / Adapted "Pamphlet" from "TheGeopost"
