Zavtra

Zavtra (Russian: Завтра; meaning Tomorrow) is a Russian-language political and cultural publication that began as a weekly newspaper and later developed an online portal. It has been described as a platform for nationalist, traditionalist, and Eurasianist ideas within post-Soviet Russia. The magazine is associated with the circle around philosopher and political writer Alexander Dugin and has hosted essays and interviews by researchers, public intellectuals, and political figures aligned with imperial nostalgia and multipolarity.

Origins and scope: Founded in 1997 in Moscow, Zavtra circulated as a print weekly and later expanded online with a website that publishes opinion pieces, articles on geopolitics, history, culture, religion, and current affairs. The publication has promoted a multipolar world order, Russian sovereignty, and traditional values, critiquing liberal democracy, Western globalization, and what it regards as liberal moralizing.

Reception and influence: Within Russia and among certain nationalist circles, Zavtra has been described as influential in shaping conservative and imperial-oriented discourse. It has also faced criticism from liberal, liberal-democratic, and Western-aligned observers who characterize its content as nationalist, anti-liberal, and at times provocative or fringe. Some contributors have been accused of promoting extremist or exclusionary rhetoric, though the publication itself has framed its work as cultural-political commentary.

Zavtra remains part of the broader ecosystem of post-Soviet nationalist and traditionalist media.
