Alexander Dugin, a strategist to the President of Russia
Vladimir Putin, has lost his daughter, Darya Dugina.
Darya, a journalist who like her father supported the
invasion of Ukraine, died in an explosion after a device went off.
The Toyota Land Cruiser blew Saturday night on a highway
near Bolshie Vyzyomy village, about 40 kilometres outside Moscow.
The 29-year-old lost control as she was driving at high
speed and flew to the opposite side of the road.
The Russian government blamed Ukraine for her death. A
friend of the family said the late political scientist was not the target.
Andrei Krasnov, Russky Gorizont movement leader, told news
agency TASS that the attackers were probably after Darya’s father.
“As far as I understand it, the target was Alexander
directly, or maybe both of them,” Krasnov noted.
Dugin, leader of the Eurasian Movement, is regarded as
Putin’s “spiritual guide” in the Ukraine war. The daughter reportedly borrowed
his vehicle at the last minute.
The Russian Investigative Committee has commenced an
investigation into the “murder” it said was done “in a dangerous manner”.
Donetsk People’s Republic leader, Denis Pushilin accused
Kyiv of being the mastermind.
“The terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, in an attempt to
eliminate Alexander Dugin, have taken the life of his daughter”, he wrote on
Telegram.
Ukraine’s top presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak
strongly denied the allegation of involvement.
“I confirm that Ukraine had nothing to do with this because
we are not a criminal State, like the Russian Federation and definitely not a
terrorist State,” Podolyak told Ukrainian TV.
