Spiritual Guru of the Kremlin

[Inscription on the Water Lane] Perhaps people have never been far from the war, and the ghosts planted by old hatred have always lingered on the side.

Many Western observers are keen to search for the spiritual master of the Kremlin in order to sort out the source of the dictator's thought. Everyone is very curious, in the end, what source of ideas does Russia have after the collapse of the Soviet regime? From Putin's speech and the remarks of a bunch of clowns around him, everyone gradually discovered a mysterious figure from the era of the last two world wars, which belongs to the fascist philosopher Ilian (Ива́н Ильи́н , Ivan Ilyin).

According to reports, as early as 2000 years ago, Putin repeatedly quoted Elian in public speeches, and then the entire ruling team also circulated Elian's writings among themselves. The Russian Orthodox Church called Irian the religious philosopher who rebuilt the Russian spirit. Putin cronies are encouraging the younger generation to get in touch with the Irian doctrine. When patriotic director Mikhalkov (Никита Михалков, Nikita Mikhalkov) made a documentary praising Putin's achievements, he did not forget to focus on introducing Yilian's writings. Its name is becoming more and more familiar.

Professor Timothy Snyder, an expert on modern European totalitarianism, especially argues that Elian and Putin are inseparable. According to his observation , since 2005, Putin has been enthroning Yilian as a court philosopher. Putin taught the Elian doctrine to regain its political vitality, and Putin's rise to power and governance should be regarded as a continuation of the Elian story. To understand Putin's decision to invade Ukraine, one must know Ellen. When Russia marched into Crimea in 2014, Putin ordered the distribution of Elian's collection of essays "Our Mission" (Наши задачи) to military and local cadres. After the Russian army took complete control of the local area, Putin once again quoted Elian to prove the righteousness of leaving the division.
