Russian ultra-nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin has urged citizens to prepare for what he described as an approaching “eternity,” comments widely interpreted as a veiled reference to the growing risk of nuclear confrontation between Moscow and Western powers, including Britain. In an online post, Dugin, often described as a key ideological influence on the Kremlin, warned that the period for human free will may soon end, suggesting that catastrophic global events could be imminent.
In his message, the 64-year-old called on unbaptised Russians to seek baptism immediately and urged those who do not attend church to begin doing so without delay, framing the appeal as preparation for eternal life. “We can’t be sure that eternity won’t arrive soon, and then it will be too late,” Dugin wrote, adding that while all things may disappear, the choice to receive baptism and participate in church sacraments would endure.
