Alexander Dugin, in his report 'What is Tradition', noted that 'our people [the Russian people, ed]. Dugin, in describing the current situation of the world and the country, contrasted tradition with modernity and postmodernity: "Tradition is the affirmation of sacred values. Modernity is the rejection of these spiritual values; but by rejecting God, modernity also rejects the devil: we will reject God and the devil and put in his place man, who will continually reveal himself and develop. And postmodernism says: Yes, there is no God, we have killed him. But there is a devil! Postmodernity is actually a revelation of the satanic plan of modernity, of which the devil is the hidden engine. When the President called Western civilisation satanic, it was not a metaphor. It is the essence of a traditionalist view of what postmodernism is. This is the devil we are dealing with in SMO, we are at war with him.... We are dealing with the civilisation of hell. And how can we fight it if we are part of it, if we use its methods, if we are progressives and secular comforters? How can we fight against it if we are equal, but on one side? We must find through our tradition a dimension of Russian eternity, a dimension of spiritual battle, in which we must not only win on the battlefield, but change internally. We must win this spiritual battle in ourselves, in the state, in the people. The people are one with the warriors fighting and with the power that has challenged this global Leviathan. We must change". A. Dugin's speech at the First Siberian Forum of the World Russian People's Council: "What is tradition"?
