Kurginyan explains what the Grand Inquisitor project means

05.03.2026, Moscow.

The Grand Inquisitor project has Gnostic roots, and the CIA is planning to implement it, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on February 20 on the Conversation with a Sage program on Radio Zvezda.

Commenting the moral decay of the Western elite, US President Donald Trump’s claims for Greenland, and the issue of the future world order, Sergey Kurginyan reminded about the times when he was advisor to the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and a friend of Politburo member, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Oleg Shenin and other high-ranking party officials.

The political scientist told that since those years and up to now he has had many conversations with various people, and one of very serious persons from abroad, now diseased, once said, “Do you know what our CIA guys are doing? They have projects. They are discussing how the world will be arranged.”

When Kurginyan asked, “What kind of projects?” he answered, “You will be surprised, because you love Dostoevsky, they call it [in conversations] among themselves, quite openly, the Grand Inquisitor project.”

In order to explain the ideas associated with Grand Inquisitor the analyst reminded that it was mentioned for the first time in Friedrich Schiller’s dramatic poem Don Carlos, Infante of Spain. Literary historians wondered where Schiller found what he introduced in this Grand Inquisitor.

“Apparently, the Marquis of Posa is a brave Maltese, it is said straightforwardly, but what about the Grand Inquisitor? Who says that the world must be left for putrefaction better than for freedom. And that ‘to reconcile eternal justice God’s own Son died upon the Tree.’ The King asks, ‘You’ll spread this notion throughout all Europe?’ The Inquisitor says, ‘As far as the Cross is honored,’” Kurginyan quoted the poem.

According to the political scientist, Schiller dared to approach a very old structure. “But further all the literary historians ask, considering the reluctance of all writers of genius… to quote other writers (all of them are so arrogant), why did Dostoevsky in his The Brothers Karamazov literally reproduced the Grand Inquisitor project on behalf of Ivan Karamazov?” he added.

“Thus, we have a triad of Schiller, Dostoevsky, and what the very high-ranking official of this structure told me, i.e. that his colleagues were positive it would be that way,” Kurginyan stressed.

According to him, it is not only about radical Catholicism, because the US military and intelligence structures contain various associations with their own projects of world order. “The Pentagon and structures like DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) are different structures that may be out of the Catholic or specifically Jesuit field, but Georgetown, Fordham (the Georgetown and Fordham universities – Rossa Primavera News Agency) etc. are an underinvestigated Jesuit America. And close relatives of the Dulles family were there,” the analyst explained.

He also reminded that a state based on the Grand Inquisitor project was built by Jesuits in Paraguay in the 17th century. “They were a little bit ahead of time, but this project was not cancelled,” the political scientist added.

“According to this project, there will be billions of happy infants and few sufferers responsible for the learning of the good and the evil. This means that species Homo sapiens will be divided into parts, which is the next step,” Kurginyan said.

According to the political scientist, as soon as the Grand Inquisitor project begins to unfold in the form of a moderately clandestine American mega-project, the Omega project will also be immediately activated, which is supported by the military led by Northern Command of the US Armed Forces established after September 11, 2001.

“The Grand Inquisitor project implies that the ‘happy infants’ will be totally enslaved – totally! – in the form of infantilization of humanity, with a hat on top of their head. Compare it to the ‘dark enlightment’ by Peter Thiel,” the analyst noted.

Also, according to him, the idea is the non-unity of species Homo sapiens, which stems from “the most ancient Gnosticism, which has always insisted that the mankind is not uniform: there are pneumatics, i.e. genuine humans, psychics, i.e. semi-humans, and hylics, i.e. non-humans.”

Kurginyan explained that Gnosticism emerged in the history of humanity from time to time. “It was it that emerged [in the Third Reich], perhaps not quite obviously, because Hitler flattered to the German people when it was necessary, but it [Gnosticism] emerged, and then Fuhrer said that the German people failed to be worth their Fuhrer,” the analyst indicated.

“No German nation is discussed in neo-Nazism anymore. It is the SS ideology. It has always been of black international kind,” he stressed.
