Alexander Dugin, dubbed Putin's ideologist, suggests that Russians should give up the internet during the summer to live a more human life, promoting traditional communication.

Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin has proposed that Russians should give up the internet during the summer, arguing that this would allow them to live a more authentic and human life. He suggests that summer should be dedicated to face-to-face meetings, old-style communication, and outdoor activities, while reconnection to the internet could take place in the winter. Dugin believes that such a change would encourage people to socialize more and enjoy life.

Additionally, he emphasized the need to strengthen state control over society, arguing that it is preferable for this control to be exercised by internal authorities, not external influences. Dugin stated that the idea of a total absence of control is utopian and that, instead, control should be exercised wisely to ensure the victory of the state in war. He highlighted that the history of Russia has been marked by suffering, but that this contributes to the pride and humility of the Russian people.
