Breaking: CNN Gives Voice to Russian Ultranationalist Alexander Dugin
On Sunday, CNN’s studio lights shone on a figure most people had no idea could sound like a villain in a blockbuster movie: Alexander Dugin, a Russian ultranationalist known for his fiery rhetoric and controversial calls for genocide in Ukraine.
What Made This Interview So Controversial?
Dugin is no stranger to the spotlight. His track record of advocating Russian imperialism and bolstering authoritarian narratives has earned him a reputation as a loud, unapologetic voice behind the curtain of politics. In this particular interview, he didn’t shy away from some of the craziest claims you can imagine:
- He openly admitted that Russia will “fight against European globalists,” a statement that screams political drama.
- His stance on the U.S. President was so bizarre that he claimed Donald Trump possessed an ideology that “changes the balance in the world.”
And, if you thought that was a lot, hold onto your hats: he concluded by saying that in the restructured global order, “Putin’s Russia, and Putin personally, stops being the main enemy, the main evil guy.”
Why This Matters (and Why People Are Frowning)
In today’s hyper‑connected media landscape, a spokesperson of this caliber sneaking into the airwaves can stir up a storm. Even the “just-in-time” connect between a German newspaper and a headline about “Dugin’s call for genocide” has ripple effects that might leave readers feeling like they’ve stumbled into an alternate reality TV show—except without the laugh track.
What Will CNN Do Next?
While the network left us with a flood of questions and a dash of disbelief, it remains uncertain whether this interview will have a lasting impact on viewers or simply become another headline in the ever‑shifting world of politics.
Feel free to drop a comment below—the world needs a laugh, especially when it comes to geopolitics!

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
