‘Key to white survival’: how Putin has morphed into a far-right savior

Researchers who monitor far-right groups agree that the moment of Putin enthusiasm in the US has intellectual underpinnings with deeper roots. Burghart said: "For almost a decade the work of Russian fascist Alexander Dugin has found a home in American white nationalist circles." 

Dugin's ideology is steeped in Russian Christian nationalism and has chimed with Putin's world view. At the same time, it echoes much of the Christian nationalist activism in the US, where liberal values, gay rights and a desire to keep religion out of the state, are seen as decadent and responsible for American decline.
