Traditionalism in Chechnya: research announcement


Eduard ten Houten, a graduate research student at the University of Amsterdam, is writing an MA thesis on the life and ideas of Khohz-Akhmed Noukhaev, the Chechen who developed "Hanific Traditionalism."

Mr ten Houten is a student in religious studies, working in the research group on the History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents. He is also interested in the political forms of Traditionalism as developed by Julius Evola and Aleksandr Dugin, and in related currents, including those in fin-de-siècle Vienna and the Weimar Republic.

Mr ten Houten writes:

I welcome any information concerning Noukhaev, his business and political past, his network of contacts, his position in Chechen society and discourse, as well as any other aspect of his life and ideas. Especially information related to the period after October 2003 would be very much appreciated. All correspondence will be treated with discretion. You can contact me at: Eduard.tenHouten@student.uva.nl. Thank you in advance.

Alternative spellings of Noukhaev include: Noukhayev Noukhaev Nukhaev Nukhayev Noechajev Nuxaev Nuchajew Nuchajev Nouchaev Nugaev Nuhaev Nuhayev
