https://x.com/albersantin/status/1838587646282473868 When Lukashenko asked “What place does Marxism-Leninism occupy in this book on modern political economy?” when reviewing a new book for university students. He got the reply “first and most important”
Back in October 2022, Lukashenko met Dugin and described his trouble in creating a new ideology: https://m.eng.belta.by/president/view/lukashenko-talks-about-formation-of-state-ideas-153969-2022/
“It got me to look at your views and recall the philosophy I studied – the Marx-Lenin philosophy. Well, it’s been some time. It turns out we have not created anything better than that. They say that Marxism-Leninism is bad. Be that as it may but we haven’t created anything better than that. And it was an entire system of views. We don’t have it these days,”
Nitpick time!
First link - he says Marxism (not ML) and recommends it to those who want to “understand life” whatever that means.
Second link - after hearing ML takes foremost place, Lukashenko asks “So what, are you going backwards?” seemingly suggesting ML is a thing of the past. The lady explains that mainstream economic theories don’t apply to Belarus because they have a heavily regulated economy - which is a strange thing to say for a Marxist cause describing how capitalism functions is kinda the main thing.
Finally as other said, fuck Dugin with a rake.
For the “thing of the past” thing, since it’s Lukashenko I don’t think he means that in a particularly bad way.
