The Return of the Eurasian Macro-State
by Alexander Dugin
Alexander Dugin argues that the restoration of a civilizational bloc in the post-Soviet and post-imperial space is inevitable.
When it became clear that the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)1 could not fulfill the task of integration, the Eurasian Union2 was created. But it was founded solely on economic ideas. And since integration between countries cannot be achieved on economic grounds alone, this idea stalled once again. Only in the creation of the Russia-Belarus Union State3 have certain successes been achieved.
Now we have reached a moment where a global restructuring of the entire world has begun. In these conditions, only great powers capable of integration will be able to preserve their sovereignty. Small states are already being forced to choose which great power to align with. If they fail to make this choice, they face the grim prospect of being torn apart under the pressure of these great powers, which are now becoming the primary and sole actors in global politics.
This is the multipolar world, which we may have imagined quite differently. Yes, it is rather strict, with very rigid rules, and if you do not possess fundamental economic, political, military, strategic, resource, and territorial sovereignty, your fate is grim. One must choose a bloc to join. And the only reasonable path for the majority of post-Soviet states is to become part of a Eurasian macro-state.
This is being discussed more and more frequently at various levels. Of course, many small states still cling to ambitious illusions of building something sovereign and equidistant from both Russia and the West. But these illusions are gradually fading, especially against the backdrop of our steady progress toward final victory in Ukraine.
The creation of a macro-state, which is to emerge in the space once occupied by the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire, is a historically inevitable process. It is the only way to preserve sovereignty for all participants in this new cycle of state-building. This will make it possible to resolve not only the fate of our “new” territories, not only that of Ukraine, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia, but also that of Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, and even Azerbaijan. All of these peoples will find a place within the macro-state — one in which they will not lose but rather strengthen their sovereignty.
Of course, it is still difficult to say what the exact sequence of events in the creation of this macro-state will be. But I believe that, in the context of ever-deepening integration between Russia and South Ossetia and Abkhazia, we must invite Georgia to take part in this process as well — especially as it has recently shown increasing independence from globalist policies. And that is certainly encouraging.
At the same time, there are currently several competing paradigms for establishing this Eurasian macro-statehood. The integration institutions that exist today are clearly insufficient and at times not only fail to facilitate the process but actively hinder it. Therefore, this may turn out to be a rather complex exercise in geopolitical creativity. But within the emerging world of great powers — which, with the advent of Trump, has already become irreversible — there is no alternative to this process. In my view, it is the most natural logic for the development of events in the post-Soviet space.
The restoration of a macro-state in our post-Soviet and post-imperial space is inevitable. But it is important that this be done peacefully, openly, and with goodwill. And the sooner we arrive at this, the better it will be for all of us.

Translator’s note: The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization formed in 1991 by several former Soviet republics to facilitate cooperation in political, economic, and military spheres following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The CIS represents a spectral shell — an artificial and soulless construct born from the ruins of empire, designed to placate rather than to unify, lacking the civilizational gravity and sacred mission necessary to bind the Eurasian peoples into a coherent geopolitical organism. It is a technocratic ghost adrift in the post-imperial void.
Trans. note: The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), established in 2015, is an intergovernmental organization comprising Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan, aimed at fostering economic integration through a common market and harmonized policies. The Eurasian Union is but the first embryonic gesture towards a deeper telos — the resurrection of the Imperium of the Heartland. While rooted in material concerns — tariffs, customs, infrastructure — it gestures towards a higher ideal: the reconstitution of Eurasia as a sacred-geopolitical entity grounded in Tradition, sovereignty, and the multipolar Logos, surpassing the limited framework of a marketplace. Until it sheds its purely economic skin and embraces its civilizational mission, it remains an unfinished mythos.
Trans. note: The Russia-Belarus Union State, officially initiated in 1999, is a supranational framework aimed at deepening political, economic, and military integration between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. This Union is a pragmatic alliance, but, more importantly, it is also the embryonic nucleus of a revived Eurasian Imperium. It represents a rare moment when post-Soviet entropy is reversed and the logic of sacred unity begins to reassert itself. Although still limited in scope and plagued by bureaucratic inertia, the Union State carries within it the metaphysical seed of a new continental Leviathan, one that transcends mere treaties and gestures towards a spiritually charged geopolitical reunification — a prototype for the macro-state that must come.

Humanity does not need macro empires, we need:
DEGLOBALIZATION
As mentioned before, the human species has different races or ethnicities, with different spiritual and physical characteristics, different history, different culture, different religion, different art, different aesthetics, different gastronomy, different customs and traditions, etc.
One of the most important values of humanity is precisely its variety and diversity. Deglobalization is the only way to preserve and promote those values. Globalization is anti-Nature, a source of evil, and a violent crime against humanity.
Throughout history, all empires aspired and attempted to globalize. They all failed, no exceptions.
Globalization is the most effective way of allowing the strong countries to violate and rape other countries, to enslave the weak, to steal their natural resources, and to take advantage of their misery and cheap labour.
Globalization makes all nations depend on other nations. Invariably, the result is permanent insecurity, which usually leads to economic recessions, depressions and collapses.
It is possible and easy to control a national economy with great precision, for each nation has a pretty good idea and can know in detail, what will be its short-term, medium-term and long-term needs. On the other hand, to control a global economy is literally impossible. Surpluses and shortages are inevitable.
Nations must be 100% sovereign, auto-sufficient and sustainable, in order to assure, by themselves, the supply of all the required essential goods & services.
The simple fact of nations being forced to fulfill their own needs, generates a tremendous boost in the creativeness and inventiveness of each nation, and of humanity as a whole.
Mass tourism is a superfluous and volatile industry, which entails many unnecessary ills: extra pollution and energy consumption, risks of leaving home alone, risks of international transports, risks of lost luggage, risks of theft, risks of rape, risks of new pathogens and of food poisoning, and all the inherent risks of being in an unfamiliar environment. Throughout history, humans have travelled for commercial, military, religious, cultural or vital purposes. Never for leisure. Tourism is a “last minute” artificial commercial scheme.
Through internet, anyone can have a much more complete, profound knowledge of any country and its history, without ever leaving home. If you like, you can even engage in cyber audiovisual chats with the natives.
Social propaganda compels people to visit the all world, instead of knowing their own countries, because tourism has somber occult political goals: to accustom citizens to mingle with other races, to promote cross breeding, to make them lose their national identities, and to foment big immigration. These strategies coincide with the globalist agenda of eliminating all national borders and sovereignties.
Positive patriotism, nationalism and protectionism are the essential ingredients for safe, healthy, wealthy nations, and world.
United States, United Kingdom, ex-Soviet Union, European Union, African Union, EAEU - Eurasian Economic Union, United Nations, Unesco, etc. The “U” word indicates globalist manure.
No wonder, the new digital global currency has been named Unicoin by both institutions, the BIS - Bank of International Settlements, and the IMF - International Monetary Fund. Henry Kissinger rightly said — Who controls the money, controls the world.
AFW is the only political system that allows nations to prosper by themselves, on their own terms, independently of all other nations. In simple terms, globalization means the rich nations get richer, and the poor nations get poorer. In a AFW, all nations get richer, thanks to nationalism and no foreign interference.
Human happiness depends on being able to plant the flowers you like best in your own garden, without the interference and intervention of other people, or of other nations, or of extraterrestrials…
Theory and practical politics are very different. On the practical level, reification of the church is almost a disaster without much intermediary. Its a very corrupt church. You can spot radicals who are very ugly. it is very easy to be divisive with the entire modern character owed to the Soviet Union's legacy, a great legacy of imperfect revolution, enlightenment, and emancipation.
