Daughter of Aleksandr Dugan murdered in car bomb in Moscow

Snash Shairt9621 also submitted an article on the subject, commenting Someone went after the man who may have pushed Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.

[AA] A car belonging to the daughter of famous Russian political scientist and philosopher Alexander Dugin exploded late Saturday in Moscow, according to media reports.

Darya Dugina’s car exploded on Mozhayskoye highway around 9.45 p.m. local time, with witnesses claiming the blast rocked the vehicle in the middle of the road and scattered debris.

Preliminary reports said she died instantly. The elder Dugin has arrived at the scene, according to a video on social media.

There is no official confirmation or information on the cause of the explosion.

It is unclear if the explosion was an assassination attempt targeting her father, who has been described as the “brain” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Darya Dugina, like her father, was engaged in journalism, philosophy and political science.

Daughter of Alexander Dugin (“Putin’s brain”) was reportedly killed in a car bomb near Bolshiye Vyazemy, Moscow region. The target was allegedly Alexander himself but he decided at the last moment to go into another car.

#4 This is the first time I've ever felt bad for Putin's Rasputin. Somebody is sending a message. But who - and too whom?

#7 Interesting messaging dilemma for the Russians. If they say the Ukrainians did it, they're conceding that the Ukrainians can conduct targeted assassinations in the middle of Moscow. If they say Russian dissidents did it, they conceding that active and effective dissent exists. English-language Tass says nothing about it, so I assume they're still working on the narrative. Maybe she was smoking while the gas cap was open?

#9 Russian or Ukrainian organized crime gets my vote, except it wasn't a small arms attack.

#10 And of course: Name one Russian who we know is responsible for political assassinations. Starts with a "V".

#11 It will be interesting to see how this gross error is reciprocated. That’ll provide insight on which entity selected the target. Not a good time to be on Hunter Bidens security detail - sympathy for the poor guys that drew that assignment under any circumstances
