Great power rhetoric, weak economy: contradictions of Dugin’s Russia
Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin has sparked outrage across the South Caucasus and Central Asia with his recent interview advocating the annihilation of national sovereignties in these regions. Frankly speaking, one can hear similar “philosophical” monologues in almost any chaykhana across the South Caucasus.

Throughout human history, very few regions have shaped the world as profoundly as Europe. For this reason, humanity has often sought to look toward Europe, sometimes through conquest, as with the Achaemenids or the Huns, and sometimes through migration and cultural exchange. Yet over the past century or two, Europe has seen the rise of radical groups, including leftist movements, environmental activists, feminists, and others, that, intentionally or not, hinder the development of this historically powerful continent. By spreading fear, panic, and division, these movements have, in effect, tied the hands and feet of Europe’s historical engines of progress.
China’s record imports and the shift from trade surplus to industrial gravity
In 2025, China’s imports hit a record value of 18.48 trillion yuan. For decades, the orthodox view of the Chinese economy focused almost exclusively on its export prowess. However, the granular breakdown of the 2025 data reveals that this operating model has been fundamentally superseded. The resilience of China’s imports now reflects a sophisticated industrial upgrading and a domestic market that has become indispensable to global growth.
