dunno about Spenglerian terms in his case but I'll bet Beckwith would call him a Khan of sorts

yeah, Spenglerian is probably the wrong word Morphologically he looks like a standard Great Man, but I just can't get a hold on him

There doesn't really seem to be any figure in Russian history that's analogous to him

if you're looking at him on Spengler's terms you'll wanna look for analogues in other cultures, not Russian
