This essay studies and analyzes the apocalyptic content found in Aleksandr Dugin’s work, which is called The Great Awakening vs The Great Reset. Through the analysis three questions are to be answered. The first one is, how can we understand the book The Great Awakening vs The Great Reset? Second question is, what are the apocalyptic elements of the book? The last question that will be answered is, what are the consequences for the apocalyptic that is presented in Aleksandr Dugin’s book? Along with these questions, the focus within this essay is to understand how Dugin uses apocalyptic themes to spread his message towards those he appeals to with his book. The analysis uses three topos found in Stephen D. O’Learys book ”Arguing the apocalypse: A Theory of Millennial Rhetoric” in order to understand how Aleksandr Dugin uses an end of the world narrative, also known as apocalypticism to appeal to his listeners. The topos are: Evil, Time and Authority. The conclusions found in this essay was that Dugin’s book was highly anti-liberal and anti-globalist. The apocalypticism within the book covered the three topos found in Stephen D. O’Learys book. (Less)
