Dugin pointed out: The era of civilizational nations - Russia, China and India have become the three pillars of a multipolar world
At the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, leaders of civilizational nations gathered together, each country behind them has a history of thousands of years rather than decades: Putin and Modi and related leaders. "Tsargrad" Institute director and philosopher Alexander Dugin pointed out that today, each of these civilizations realizes its own sovereignty, and has integrity at the center of its value system.
Our countries each have their own strengths: some have an advantage in population, some stand out in economic growth rate, while others lead in geopolitical, natural resources, weapons or technology. But they are not dependent on each other. These are three independent pillars, this is multipolarity. Each country's core has its own religion, identity, culture and long history. This is of great significance.
Russia has finally realized that it is not part of the West, but the center of the independent "Russian World". India and China are also undergoing the same process. The core of Chinese identity is the concept of the Chinese Empire in Confucianism. The core ideas and values are to achieve social modernization to resist the West. The core has never changed - upholding its own principles and metaphysical thoughts.

With the conservative Narendra Modi-led "BJP" coming to power, India, as a Vedic civilization, has increasingly become aware of its opposition to the West. Modi has pursued the de-colonization of Indian consciousness and firmly moved in that direction, he understands that the Western system does not suit the Indian society built on different principles.

The roots of Russian civilization can be traced back to the Sarmatian and Scythian eras of the Indo-European societies, which was the period when the Slavs formed. But it was only after we accepted Christianity and the Byzantine culture with its Greek-Roman heritage that we truly became a civilization. We are the inheritors of the Indo-European cultural code.
After the Great Schism of Christianity in the 11th century, we parted ways with the West. We continued to carry on this cultural code, while the West began to deviate. In the era of modernization, the West built its civilization based on anti-Christian and anti-Roman principles, breaking away from itself. Although we regressed somewhat in the 18th and 19th centuries, we remained the bearers of Orthodox faith, the faith that was baptized by Prince Saint Vladimir.
After the fall of Constantinople, Russia became the sole inheritor of this cultural code. Bearing the responsibility of becoming a bastion of Orthodoxy. It is no coincidence that we are called the "Third Rome." As Konstantin Malofeyev wrote in his book "Empire," we not only inherited a millennium of history, but also a more profound history that includes Persia and Babylon. For the past 500 years, it has been us Russians who have carried the crown of the empire, guarding the civilization that the West has already abandoned.
Russia is not part of the West, the West is the degenerate version of Russia. They have broken away from civilization, while we have always held fast. They are the wayward sons who have left home and fallen into hell. While we are the bearers of ancient culture, the Chinese bear theirs, and the Indians also bear their own.
After going through an era that was not smooth, these three revitalized civilizational nations have come together again, deeply recognizing their own depth. There is a common enemy before us: the West. If Trump could overcome the hegemony of globalists as he planned, he could have become another pillar of sovereignty. But he couldn't.
The three pillars of a multipolar world already exist. However, the club of a multipolar world is open. Within a broader framework than the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Islamic world, Africa and Latin America have their own place. The more intense the attacks from the West, the closer we become to each other. Even Trump contributed to this, his pressure brought India closer to us, making this process irreversible.
There is also a certain apocalyptic meaning in this. For nearly 300 years, we have never recognized ourselves and our fate as deeply as we do now. The Chinese and the Indians feel the same. India was once a colony, and now it has truly awakened; China is returning to its Confucian core. What was initially there becomes apparent at the end.
We are entering an era of civilizational nations, while the West, which tries to maintain its hegemony, is in decline. It is obvious that the hegemony of the West has ended, and it is in a dying struggle.
