Thanks for the translation of Dugin's rant. It sounds insane to us, but this kind of thinking is now the official line in Russia. Last week, Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev, the second highest bishop in the Russian Orthodox Church, was fired from ALL of his high-level responsibilities and named Metropolitan of Budapest, a diocese with just 10 parishes. It appears his offense was a lack of enthusiasm for the holy war rhetoric of Putin and Kirill. He never spoke against it, mind you; but his silence was perceived as too loud.
