The sources document Putin-era nationalism and Eurasianism (Harvard 2026, Pitt 2026, Springer 2016, Globe and Mail 2014), but none dates the start of such preaching to 2001 or addresses a royalist strand. The claim's timing and royalist elements are not established either way, and the claim matches the extracted passage faithfully.
What was said
… It was essentially one and the same empire. Now, of course, at the fringes, when the Soviet empire got way too big, especially over the Chinese issue, you did have some warfare, but it was highly limited and nothing like we're looking at today. But today's Russian Federation, under Vladimir Putin, starting in 2001, started preaching something very different that was a nationalist and, in many cases, a royalist, a so-called Eurasianist, um, ah, world order, something that undercut the very foundational ontology of Western capitalism.

Context. Academic sources describe Putin's nationalism and neo-Eurasianism as an ongoing, developing pattern, with the Springer article (2016) tracing Eurasianist nationalism in official documents and speeches, but none pins its start to 2001.[1][2][4]
Context. The Globe and Mail (2014) describes a Putin speech blending Orthodox ethnic-Russian nationalism with neo-Eurasianism, presented as either a new guiding belief or a rhetorical tool, without a 2001 starting point.[5]
Context. The Pitt essay (2026) says Putin does not subscribe to a comprehensive ideological framework but implicitly paid homage to Eurasianism, which does not confirm a 2001 start for a Eurasianist world order.[3]
Context. A 2001 Dni.ru profile quoted in a Dugin document calls Putin a traditionalist and authoritarian nationalist, which is period commentary rather than evidence that he began preaching a nationalist, royalist or Eurasianist world order in that year.[6]
