and rather than implying this makes putin a master strategist,  this is more like a amateurish blunder by Ukraine that a former KGB agent can’t help but profit from.  Dugin’s death certainly benefits Putin’s rule.   Dugin’s death in ukrainian hands even more so.    no one makes it to the top of any government without a sense of what helps his own power and influence.
