Putin's 'Rasputin' turns against his leader and now asks for his head after the fall of Kherson

The fall of Kherson was the latest blow to the Putin regime after the start of its invasion campaign in Ukraine, and this setback is starting to take its toll on the Russian president.

The most worrying thing for the autocrat is that it is his most faithful allies who are beginning to question his leadership. One of them is Alexander Dugin, the philosopher who is considered the ideological father of the Putin regime.

Considered as 'Putin's Rasputin', Dugin would have asked for the president's head after the loss of Kherson, the Mirror publishes. According to this medium, Dugin published a fiery speech on Telegram, which was deleted shortly after.

Dugin, who was one of the main advocates of the invasion of Ukraine, and called for the expansion of Russian territory to Crimea, then to the rest of Ukraine and beyond to the Baltic states, showed in all his crudeness his discontent with the fall of Kherson.

The ultranationalist philosopher wrote that every "true Russian should cry" and "clench their teeth in pain" because of the current state of the Russian campaign in Ukraine.

Dugin added that Russia has "surrendered Kherson" and that if the civilians are not upset about this, then "they are not Russians." The ideologue also cited a passage from the philosophical work The Golden Bough, by James George Fraser, in which a king is assassinated by his subjects.
