2/ Therefore understanding #Ilyin's ideas is crucial to comprehend the motivations behind Putin's policies. Let's explore how #Ilyin's ideology shaped Putin's actions.

#Putin zitiert in seiner Rede zur Annexion des Donezk-Gebietes den „wahren Patrioten Iwan Iljin“. Dies geschieht am Ende der Rede, um dem Zitat besonderes Gewicht zu verleihen. Zitiert wird ein glühender Nationalist, der die „Stärke des Glaubens des russischen Volkes“ beschwört.

What I find even more compelling is the response to Ilyin and his 1925 work "On The Use of Violence to Resist Evil" (fun title!) and the outright concern about where this sort of path can lead *even then* - pre-Hitler, pre nuclear weapons, pre Cold War, pre terrorism etc etc
Another leading thinker N. A Berdyaev produced a polemic on Ilyin called, "The Nightmare of Evil Good."
