Ahh, the German and Russian mindset always at loggerheads. (Pardon me for the tabletop assessment, I'm currently reading Bakunin). I'll tend to agree with Cyph3rp9nk that everything written/spoken in our modern world exists on a sliding scale of propaganda. Rather than dismissing a piece as propaganda, it is better to assess the content of what is said. Always important to bring your own knowledge to the table when assessing a new piece of information. Dugin sounds fairly tight in his analysis in my opinion.  

 Learning to distinguish allegations from analysis is a superpower.

 Pithy, care to elaborate?
