A month ago, I wrote a column about Russian educational reforms wherein I praised Alexander Dugin and others for their work within and without RSUH. As for improving university education, I wrote: “This could and probably will mean making adjustments to things like Russian participation in the Bologna Process…” For Americans, the Bologna system is like the US’s Common Core program but at the college level. It is a European-based globalist scheme proclaiming standardization while only delivering second-rate degradation. It’s not a fit for any intelligent mind bent on further education, and Russia made a mistake in signing up for it. Evidently, there were other issues with Russia’s adoption as well. But as I predicted or suggested, that mistake is now being corrected.

In a recent call for the return of traditional culture to Russia, Professor Dugin proclaimed the good news of withdrawal and also urged accountability for those who attempted to lead Russian minds astray:

By the way, we are canceling the Unified State Exam (USE) and the Bologna system. That is the right decision. But who introduced these systems? Who forced them upon us, breaking the backs of dissenters in the process? Did they implement themselves? And why have we forgotten the names of those responsible? What positions do they currently hold? This same lack of accountability applies to many other issues as well.

Like Andrew Jackson, the Russians appear to have a small and weakening den of vipers to rout out. And by the Eternal, I think they will rout them.
