Elementy (Russian: Elements) was a political magazine which was started and published by Russian political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin. Its subtitle was Evraziiskoe Obozrenie (Russian: Euroasian Review).[1][2] It existed between 1992 and 2000 and was the mouthpiece of neo-Eurasianism in Russia.[3]

History and profile

Elementy was launched by Aleksandr Dugin in 1992.[4][5] It was modeled on French new right publication Éléments.[4] Dugin himself described it as the Russian spin off of Éléments[5] which also had Italian and German versions, Elementi and Elemente, respectively.[2] Alain de Benoist, French journalist, briefly served as a board member of Elementy in 1992, but resigned from the post due his disagreement with Dugin.[4]

Elementy was started as a biannual publication, but later it came out annually.[1] Dugin edited it between 1992 and 1998.[5] The magazine covered articles on Eurasianism, philosophy, occultism, and religion.[6] The first issue featured articles by the Russian generals who were heading various departments at the Academy of the General Staff.[5] It attempted to clear the way for the acceptance of the traditionalism by Russians.[5] The magazine had a circulation of 5,000-10,000 copies.[1]

Elementy folded in 2000.[6]
