#2 The real problem is that Aleksandr Dugin has developed the new ideology for all of the major parties in Russia. Here is a taste of the ideology:

The core idea of Dugins Eurasianism is that liberalism (by which is meant the entire Western consensus) represents an assault on the traditional hierarchical organization of the world. Repeating the ideas of Nazi theorists Karl Haushofer, Rudolf Hess, Carl Schmitt, and Arthur Moeller van der Bruck, Dugin says that this liberal threat is not new, but is the ideology of the maritime cosmopolitan power Atlantis, which has conspired to subvert more conservative land-based societies since ancient times. Accordingly, he has written books in which he has reconstructed the entire history of the world as a continuous battle between these two factions, from Rome v. Carthage to Russia v. the Anglo Saxon Atlantic Order, today. If Russia is to win this fight against the subversive oceanic bearers of such racist (because foreign-imposed) ideas as human rights, however, it must unite around itself all the continental powers, including Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, Turkey, Iran, and Korea, into a grand Eurasian Union strong enough to defeat the West.

In order to be so united, this Eurasian Union will need a defining ideology, and for this purpose Dugin has developed a new Fourth Political Theory combining all the strongest points of Communism, Nazism, Ecologism, and Traditionalism, thereby allowing it to appeal to the adherents of all of these diverse anti-liberal creeds.

He adopts Communisms opposition to free enterprise. However, he drops the Marxist commitment to technological progress in favor of Ecologisms demagogic appeal to stop the advance of industry and modernity. From Traditionalism, he derives a justification for stopping free thought. All the rest is straight out of Nazism, ranging from the need for populations to be rooted in the soil, to weird ideas about the secret origin of the Aryan race in the North Pole.
