Between 2008 and 2009, he taught at the European Humanities University. In 2007 he began working as a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.[12] [13] In the early 2000s, Dzermant was actively involved in Belarusian neo-paganism. Together with, he published the magazine Druvis. Dzermant also published the almanac Siver and was one of the founders of the neopagan ultra-right organization Gega Ruch, which was compared to the Ahnenerbe. ("Gega Ruch" referred to its ideological predecessor, the of the 1930s, which was oriented towards the NSDAP). Dzermant was also an active member of the center of ethnocosmology KRYUJA . He defended the Baltic nature of the Belarusians and widely used the name Kryvia to refer to Belarus.[14] [15] [16] In particular, in 2002, he stated that the Belarusians (Krivichi) are Slavic-speaking Balts and the third Baltic people.[17]

Dzermant took a critical position with regard to the Eurasian choice for Belarus. In a discussion in the magazine "Baltic Sphere" in 2007, he stated, "It is clear that Belarus is a European country, not Eurasian", and proposed two paradigms of self-determination for the republic: through the Central/Eastern European and Baltic (Baltic-Scandinavian) orientation.[18] In 2012, during the roundtable "The Disintegration of Russia: Threats and Strategies for Regional Security," he called the Eurasian Union "more of an economic election declaration," with no prospect of real content.[19]

In the 2010s, Dzermant's views underwent a significant shift. According to philosopher Vladimir Mackiewicz, Dzermant defected "to the pro-Russian camp from a marginal group of Baltic pagans" and became a "shifter.[20] After changing his views, Dzermant repeatedly advocated for the integration of Belarus and Russia.[21] [22] [23]

In 2016, Dzermant met in Minsk with the leaders of the Italian neo-fascist party New Force and the right-wing British National Party, Roberto Fiore and Nick Griffin.[24] [25]

In the summer of 2020, he suggested that the one-time deterioration in the quality of drinking water in Minsk could have been sabotage. He called for introducing a state of emergency, canceling the elections, and engaging in a large-scale purge of the "fifth column." From June to August 2020, amidst worsening Belarusian-Russian relations,[26] he maintained a cautious stance. However, a few days after the elections, he announced the need to abandon a multi-vector foreign policy and completely refocus on Russia.[27]

In February 2021, Dzermant advocated for banning the white-red-white flag.[28]

On 19 November 2023, Dzermant stated that Lithuanian capital city Vilnius is a "Belarusian city". He criticized emigrated Belarusian politicians, accusing them of favoring "Lithuanian chauvinists" and failing to defend Belarusians interests. Dzermant asserted that the Belarusian national movement in Lithuania should be organized and led by new leaders.[29]

Performance reviews
