My provisional translation of Dugin’s 1994 address to
the Fondazione Julius Evola. These fifteen pithy theses expose the bare bones
of Dugin’s reading of Evola. Dugin’s political preoccupations at the time are
present in the emphasis on Evola’s “metaphysical leftism” and the possibility
of an at once spiritual and political “third way” (as in terza posizione, etc.). Printed in Orion 9 (1994) in
Italian. This translation was made from a French version in Nouvelles de Synergies Européennes 6 (1994).
Of Dugin’s trip to the West, the editor of N.S.E. reports that
In June of this year, Aleksandr Dugin visited France, Spain and Italy. Accosted by the police at the moment of his landing in Paris, Aleksandr Dugin was interrogated for three hours by the boorish rozzers, and was made to hand over issues of his journal, Elementy (so that he was subjected to censorship!), thereby depriving a number of official French institutions (the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, etc.), who had requested review copies, of these texts! Does the police have the right to prohibit researchers from accessing documentation? In Italy, he was received triumphantly at the Institute of International Relations in Milan, by General Jean at the Italian Ministry of National Defence, and by numerous cultural organisations. Our readers will appreciate the difference between a country governed by regular politicians, and a country governed by uncultured thugs, by boors and by scoundrels.
