In an autocracy "we give the sovereign absolute fullness of power to save us all", therefore "full powers in case of success, but also full responsibility in case of failure".
The philosopher Alexander Dugin wrote it on Telegram, in what appeared to be a harsh attack on Vladimir Putin after the retreat in Kherson.
The Mirror reports, adding that later the post (2 days ago) was removed.
"Nothing against Surovikin", the head of military operations in Ukraine.
"The blow is not aimed at him. It is a blow for you-you-know-who", added Dugin, referring to the Russian president, who should also pay with his life.
In the very long post on Telegram, Dugin, who is considered as Putin's ideologue, uses heartfelt tones after Kherson's withdrawal.
"A Russian city, the capital of a region, has surrendered, has been handed over", and now the "Russians are crying and suffering", he writes.
And to indicate the person responsible for this failure, Dugin reflects on Russian power, in which the "sovereign is given absolute power to save us all at a critical moment".
And "if to do so he surrounds himself with crap or spits on social justice, it is unpleasant, but he is justified in saving us".
Then in the evening the turnaround.
"The West began to insinuate that after the surrender in Kherson, the Russian patriots and I turned against Putin and demanded his resignation. This accusation came out of nowhere. Obviously no one will believe it. But just to be. sure: no one has turned his back on Putin, both I and all the other Russian patriots support him unconditionally. The pain of the loss of Kherson is one thing, the attitude towards the commander in chief is another ".
The philosopher Alexander Dugin clarifies this on Telegram, adding: "We are loyal to Putin and we support the military operation until the end".
