A prominent Russian ultra-nationalist philosopher has told BBC News that war between Russia and Ukraine "is inevitable" and has called on President Vladimir Putin to intervene militarily in eastern Ukraine "to save Russia's moral authority".

Alexander Dugin is the founder of Russia's Eurasian movement. His views are believed to be popular among the hawkish Russian elite. Until recently, he was also a professor at Moscow State University, but he says his current status with the university is unclear. His views have not changed, he says, but attitudes towards his views among those in power may be shifting.

He has been labelled the brains behind President Putin's wildly popular annexation of Crimea.

The next step, he proclaims, is military intervention in eastern Ukraine, which he regularly calls Novorossiya (New Russia). It is a name that has also been used by President Putin.

1. Oh good, glad to see there's sane people running the show over there.

2. Sadly for that fascist, Putin has already

tucked his tail 'tween his legs out of fear of a few pen strokes from President Obama and the EU.

3. This needs a kick,

so it doesn't get forgotten just exactly what the nature of Putin's regime actually is. It should be noted carefully that this fascist scum is in constant contact with the separatists. It should also be noted, again, that Putin and his United Russia party firmly support Marine Le Pen, Jobbik, and all the rest of the European far right.

5. That Is How You Tell a Leftist Nowadays, Sir

Unreserved support for fascism in Russia, and for that matter, for fascists opposing the European Union, is frequently presented here as de rigueur for leftists today....

[Benton D Struckcheon]

6. I haven't seen any that actually come out in support of Le Pen or Jobbik,

I always thought these wonderful people just dodged the question. Did I miss something?

7. I Have Seen 'They're Right About This Or That At Least' Comments, Sir

And in any case, the overlap of position is obvious in several areas.

The hard left has never scrupled at allying with the hard right against the center-left.

8. Oh yes ! Me too sir, thanks for mention ! Nt

12. Dugin's essays are popular amongst the Russian National Unity folks.

What is Russian National Unity? It's a fascist, arguably neo-Nazi paramilitary organization with a Russian ultranationalistic bent.

And who was a member of Russian National Unity? Pavel Gubarev, currently the self-proclaimed "People's Governor of Donetsk" and one of the key leader of the armed separatists.

That's right. For all those people claiming that the armed seperatists in east Ukraine are simply people who don't want to be ruled by illegitimate neo-Nazi putschists, they are currently being led by a....you guessed it....illegitimate neo-Nazi putschist.
