>Putin's ear
A common misconception about Russian politics is that Putin is the extreme one whereas he is much more centrist than others are. There are very prominent Russian politicians such as Medvedev who are much more extreme than Putin is and quite open about it. There has also been strong public support ever since the 2014 Ukrainian color revolution for an extensive military operation in the Donbas region.
I don't think Dugin has any say in any decision making process.

>Any idea anyone has, you can find someone that suggested it.
Exactly it's a completely fabricated narrative.
