In Dugin's seminal 1997 book, The Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin lays out his vision to divide the world up and calling for Russia to rebuild its influence through annexations and alliances while all in heavy opposition to Ukraine as a sovereign state.

Why people recommend it

Foundations of Geopolitics: the Geopolitical Future of Russia by Alexander Dugin is a 1997 political text outlining a strategic vision for rebuilding Russian global influence through alliances, hybrid warfare, and territorial annexation. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, a host recommended that listeners read the book to understand theories about the United States being purposefully undermined from within. Professor Dieng discussed the text on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, explaining its role as the foundation for the Third Rome strategy in Russian geopolitics. Ben Bowlin also brought up the book across multiple episodes of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know to contextualize state-sponsored disinformation campaigns and hybrid warfare tactics. Furthermore, Garrison Davis discussed the work on Behind the Bastards to analyze Dugin's opposition to Ukrainian sovereignty, while Tim Pool read a viewer comment on Timcast IRL that cited the book's strategy of using domestic separatist groups to sow discord within the United States.
