Yup, Chris Doss, David Duke has many fans in mass and elite sectors in Russia. Duke, last year spoke to legislators in the Duma. His autobiographical screed, "My Struggle, " or whatevah, he entitled it sold out in the bookstore at the Duma. Duke, is reputedely considering moving to Russia. Maybe because of the FBI or BATF raid on his HQ in Louisiana, a few yrs. back. Like Ccapone, the feds might nail him on tax evasion or some such. I've heard he gambles away all the moola his fan base sends him on Mississippi Riverboats.

A Bulgarian translator of Alexander Dugin, is Blagovesta Doncheva, an occasional contributor to Jared Isreal's agit-prop for Milosevic, The Emperors new Colthes website. Blagovsta, is the subject of a chapter in Michael Parenti's book on the ex-Yugoslavia and NATO for Verso, "To Kill A Country." (His new one on 9-11 for City Lights had piss poor editing by Nancy Peters there. Some of the footnotes to pieces in the PWW of the CPUSA lack the dates of publication. And he disses, Noam Chomsky, 'sez he's a so-called progressive or some such. [in the main text...looking in the footnotes, reveals he means the Noamster.]

Much more on Dugin, see the book by walter Laqueur, "The Black Hundreds, " pb. o.p. from Penguin Books. A recent article in a (Conservative Anglican?) British journal, named, "Contemporary Review, " also shed some light.

Finally, is Edward Limonov, on trial yet? (His novel, "It's Me, Eddie!, " published in translation here by Grove Press in the early 80's is funny as fuck.) Michael Pugliese
