Putin has ditched Duginism, so it's not likely to be influential for the future of Russia. And I don't think it's about geographically defined civilizations, we experience a clash between global democracy (Purple on my diagram) and global autocracy (Brown). Dugin simply defined a global autocracy which can accommodate Christianity, Islam or Paganism as a state religion. Theocracy is currently submerged even Islamists are mostly losing their influence. But in the far future there might be a new form of theocracy based on direct rule by AI "gods".
Russia used to call itself Third Rome, not Third Iran or something. Anyway, geography is less and less relevant with the Internet and air travel.
