Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher who was amongst the most prominent anti-communist dissident during the 1980s, mourned the fall of the Nation of Syria on his X account tonight.
Islamic rebels closed in on Syria’s capital city of Damascus in the early hours of the morning on December 8th. Video of the rebels celebrating the fall of Syria in Damascus could be seen across social media platforms.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled the country following the aggressive takeover by rebels in the region. Aleppo, long a centerpiece of military conflict in the war-torn nation, fell to Islamic rebels just one week ago.
Alexander Dugin, who has been described as ‘Putin’s brain’, wrote on his X page on December 8th at 1:56am,
“The fall of Assad is tragic event. He was ally of Russia and the pole of Resistance. We have accept blow as blow, the pain as pain. This is the fight, the war. The war has usually different episodes – some of them are unpleasant and painful. But we should never give up. We’ll win.”
Russia, a country that has long been an ally of Syria under Assad, has obviously been shaken by the fall of Syria. The images coming out of Damascus are truly remarkable. See some of that footage below courtesy of Forbes,
Dugin followed up his initial statement on Syrian President Basar al-Assad with three more statements. The first invoked religion, with the philosopher posting,
“The fight we are engaged in began before the time appeared. The most important thing is to define our camp. That is the only thing that really matters. Who are on the side of God have already won. Those who triumph with devil are damned and defeated for eternity.”
His second messaged echoed the same sentiment, as the 62-year-old penned,
“Not any historic war had such ultimate importance. The sacredness of war was apportioned. Often parts of light and darkness were distributed in different proportions among the fighting armies. Only now at the end of history light and darkness assemble in two opposite camps.”
One day ago, the Russian government warned its citizens that they should consider leaving the nation of Syria.
