It is always intriguing to see how freedom/openness can be suppressed in the name of freedom/openness. It is not a particularly enticing paradox, but an interesting one, nonetheless. Very effective as a myth: enough truth to sustain the lie, but only barely. The historical fact is that liberal democracies were never truly open or free.
The Soros/Popper imperative of an open society is a vile contradiction in terms. It is typical leftist inversion of moral and intellectual values. Such inversion is always derived from deceitful exclusionary definitions of 'democracy', 'tolerance', 'freedom', 'liberation', and 'equality', such that only those elements which support the definition are allowed to be included within it. All others are existential threats which must be eliminated in order to maintain their reframed circular definition.
This is the essence of leftism... it is self-referential, narcissistic, subjective, a totally closed system. It is the Serpent Ouroboros. It feeds on itself within a vicious feedback loop, representing itself to itself, always virtue signaling to its members. Everything else that doesn't comport with such circular mentality must be doxxed and destroyed. There can be no Creator and no Logos of objective Truth, because those are externalities and open systems requiring faith, that by their nature cannot be fully symbolized. The left requires them to be reviled, hated, maligned, and eliminated. To admit to them in any way is to be a sinner of the secular cult of woke leftism.
In the face of this onslaught, the traditional right seems naive, complacent, helpless, and oblivious. The left understands why, they already know all this about us, and in a fit of yet more circularity, uses our very nature against us. The woke left have progressively ramped up their game, provocation after provocation over the last thirty years, to the point where it is now make or break time to pounce and finally seize all power.

Interesting read. I disagree with much of it. But it was interesting to navigate your thought processes, and now I have some rabbit holes to navigate regarding the origins of why people think a billionaire named George Soros is actively controlling elections.
Oh, Alexander Dugin, the philosopher who mistook his tinfoil hat for a crown—spinning yarns of "liberal dictatorship" like it's the hottest new genre: dystopian fanfic meets fever dream. Newsflash, Sasha: "liberal dictatorship" is an oxymoron juicier than jumbo shrimp at a vegan potluck. Liberals? Those squishy souls who weep over endangered pronouns and hug trees? Dictatorship? That's for mustache-twirling tyrants who ban books, not binge-read them. It's like calling a gluten-free pizza a "fascist feast"—pure contradiction, served with a side of absurdity.
Take Moldova's elections: PAS snags 49% and 53 seats, opposition grabs the rest. Shocking! A ruling party loses ground without tanks rolling in? That's not "suspended democracy," it's... democracy doing its messy thing. Imprisoning a candidate? Banning parties? Sure, if you're scripting a Bond villain arc for Maia Sandu, the "Soros dandelion" (adorable, really—does she photosynthesize her plots?). But in reality, it's opposition drama, not a globalist gulag. And that diaspora vote suppression? Tragic logistics fail, not a Illuminati blackout. If only 10,000 out of 400,000 voted, blame the borscht lines, not the "totalitarian sect."
Dugin's Soros saga? It's QAnon with a Moscow accent: one billionaire puppeteering Europe like a deranged Geppetto, turning leaders into Pinocchios for the "open society." Hungary's Orbán laughs last, cozying up to Putin while cashing EU checks—liberal puppet? More like opportunistic sock puppet. And Trump's "epidemic of violence"? Buddy, that's America: guns, grudges, and garage sales. Restoring psych clinics? Bold, but let's not pretend liberals invented lunacy; conservatives have their own cult of personality.
Bottom line: Dugin's "civil war" wet dream ignores the punchline—liberals lose power via ballots, not bayonets. If that's dictatorship, I'll take two. Wake up, Alex: your multipolar multiverse is just sour grapes from the losing lane.

Is there a link to the original Russian transcript?

Does your argument stand on its own without ad hominem insults? Did he steal your girlfriend or something?
Just having a bit of fun.
