Journalistic activity

Kisoudis deals a lot with Eastern European, especially Russian, topics. In 2007 he wrote a book on political theology in the Greek Orthodox Church , which deals with the place of Greece in European cultural history, and in 2015 the non-fiction book Goldgrund Eurasia , which was published by Thomas Hoof in the right-wing Manuscriptum-Verlag and the world political situation from the Vladimir Putin's point of view analyzed. In 2010 he and Frank Hertweck published an autobiographical interview that Carl Schmitt conducted with Klaus Figge and Dieter Groh in 1971 ( as long as the empire is there ).

In 2017, he published his essay Was nun? In the series " TUMULT " of the Manuscriptum Verlag, edited by Frank Böckelmann . From the welfare state to an orderly state . In it he advocates a lean state system limited primarily to regulatory tasks and criticizes the modern welfare state as a " total state " which restricts the freedom of citizens through redistribution and welfare and which he parallels with the Nazi state . Kisoudis presented his book in June 2017 in Berlin, among other places, in the Library of Conservatism and in the oratory of the Catholic-traditionalist " Institute St. Philipp Neri ", which he had portrayed in a promotional film in 2014. In addition, Kisoudis writes articles for the online appearance of the magazine strangely free .

Kisoudis takes anti-Western and Orthodox Christian positions in his publications. After the “interlude” of the post-war order, he sees a return to the true characteristics of peoples and cultures. He also prophesies a new Cold War between “authoritarian liberalism” in the east and “postmodern monetary socialism” in the west. Kisoudis' admiration goes to Putin, who in his opinion has found his way back to the Third Rome as a Eurasier . He recommends Germany to ally with Russia . Kisoudis refers to Alexander Dugin and Konstantin Leontjew .
