[RIA Novosti] Viktor Zvantsev. 29-year-old journalist and political scientist Daria Dugina died in the Moscow region. This happened after the festival "Tradition", where the girl's father, the famous philosopher and political scientist Alexander Dugin, gave a lecture. The Investigative Committee believes that an explosive device was planted under the car. Details - in the material RIA Novosti.

On Saturday, August 20, Daria and her father arrived in Zakharovo Park for the Tradition Literary and Music Festival, which was held for the seventh time in a row. The Land Cruiser Prado was parked in a common parking lot. The philosopher himself at one of the sites at six o'clock in the evening gave a lecture on the topic "Tradition and History". His daughter was invited as a guest of honor.

The festival ended at nine o'clock with a gala concert. Among the participants are the vocalist of the group "Masha and the Bears" Maria Makarova, the singer from Mariupol Akim Apachev, the violinist Pyotr Lundstrem. According to Lundstrem, at the very end, the Dugins headed towards their car. However, at the last moment, the public figure got into another car and followed his daughter.

As soon as Daria turned onto the Mozhayskoye highway, an explosion occurred near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy, after which the SUV flew into the fence and caught fire. The girl died on the spot.

A criminal case was opened under the article "Murder committed in a generally dangerous way." The investigation was taken over by the head of the department Alexander Bastrykin and the Moscow Regional Prosecutor's Office. Investigators are now interviewing eyewitnesses, examining CCTV footage.

Entrance to the festival was free. “The police, and there were quite a few of them, carefully checked all the participants and spectators,” says one of the visitors to Tradition. “A couple of people, for example, were overdone with alcohol, but they were immediately taken out. about ten minutes walk from the sites. I don't know what happened there."

According to the IC, an explosive device went off in the SUV, which was planted under the bottom on the driver's side. When this was done is still unknown. Festival participants are sure that the bomb was planted during the concert. So, the poet and publicist Igor Karaulov recalls that by nine in the evening there was no one left in the parking lot - the volunteers who had been there all day had dispersed.

This information is currently being verified. "Given the data already obtained, the investigation believes that the crime was pre-planned and is custom-made," the Investigative Committee of Russia said.

Recently, Daria Dugina has worked as a journalist. Repeatedly traveled to the Donbass. She reported from Mariupol, including from Azovstal. In June, she was included in the UK sanctions list "for spreading disinformation" about the conflict in Ukraine.

However, both the festival participants and Daria's acquaintances assure that they wanted to kill her father.

Alexander Dugin became known throughout the country in the early 1990s. Then he was the ideologist of the Limonov movement. In 1995, he tried to work independently in politics, unsuccessfully ran for the State Duma. At the same time he was engaged in science - political science, sociology and philosophy, taught students, lectured all over the world.

Thanks to the latter, in the West he was called "the leading Russian thinker of the post-Soviet period." Later, already in the 2010s, foreign media will dub him "Putin's main ideologue" and the creator of the "idea of ​​the Russian world." Dugin himself repeatedly denied this.

“Most likely, the murder is connected with Dugin’s professional activities, he has no business,” said Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the international committee of the Federation Council. And he adds that this may be connected with "Ukrainian events."

However, all versions are now being tested. The criminals are being searched for by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. One of the organizers of the festival, writer Zakhar Prilepin, wrote on his Telegram channel that potential killers were caught on video recorders. “They were pushing, grazing, waiting,” he says. In his opinion, the crime was prepared for a long time.
