Aleksandr Dugin is an extremely radical thinker. Nevertheless, it is worth dealing with his thought because it shows in an exaggerated form how the evolution of social and political ideas took place in the history of Russia, which led to Putin's contemporary neo-imperialism. This book presents the Russian discourse on national security against a broader background of global academic reflection, takes a closer look at the sources and ideological basis of the concept of Russias security developed by Dugin, discusses the subject and main dimensions of Russias national security in Dugins works, and shows the importance of Russias foreign policy for the creation of its national security.Marcin Skladanowski is professor of Russian and international security studies and a researcher at the Centre of East European Studies Centrum Ucrainicum at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (Poland).
