[INTERFAX.RU] The FSB announced the disclosure of the murder of journalist Darya Dugin, daughter of public figure Alexander Dugin, accusing the Ukrainian special services of the crime.
"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, as a result of a complex of urgent operational-search measures, has solved the murder of Russian journalist Daria Daria, born in 1992," the FSB Public Relations Center (CSP) said on Monday.
According to the secret service, "the crime was prepared and committed by the Ukrainian special services."
Oh?
"The contractor is a citizen of Ukraine Vovk Natalya Pavlovna, born in 1979, who arrived in Russia on July 23, 2022, together with her daughter Shaban Sofia Mikhailovna, born in 2010," the FSB reported.
Why would an assassin travel with a twelve year old child?
The CSO noted that after the commission of the crime, "Vovk, together with her daughter, left through the Pskov region to Estonia."
According to the FSB, "in order to organize the murder of Dugina and obtain information about her lifestyle, they rented an apartment in Moscow in the house where the deceased lived."
To observe the journalist, the suspects used a Mini Cooper car, and at the entrance to Russia they used the numbers of the Donetsk People's Republic - E982ХН DPR, in Moscow - Kazakh numbers - 172AJD02, and when leaving - Ukrainian - AH7771IP.
"On the day of the murder, Vovk and Shaban were at the Tradition literary and musical festival, where Dugina was present as an honored guest," the security service said.
The FSB reported that the materials of the investigation were transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
Dugina's car was blown up on Saturday evening near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy, Moscow Region. The girl died on the spot. On this fact, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case . The department noted that the murder is custom-made.
Meanwhile, ex-State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, put on the international wanted list by Russia (recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign media agent), said on Sunday on the Youtube channel that a certain “National Republican Army” was involved in the death of Dugina, operating allegedly on the territory of Russia, whose representatives turned to Ponomarev for "methodological and material assistance."
Ponomarev left Russia in 2014 after an embezzlement case was opened against him. In 2019, he received Ukrainian citizenship.

Note that the FSB indicates the daughter was the target not the father. Scuttlebutt is she was tracking the funding behind Bellingcat - but she was one of the names on the July UK sanctions list
RIA Novosti correspondent was the first journalist to visit the house where a Ukrainian citizen suspected of killing Daria Dugina lived. Relatives said that she left for Europe a month ago and did not appear in her apartment in Mariupol, and also confirmed that she served in the Ukrainian troops.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] An ailing Vladimir Putin " ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... is flailing over his war strategy, torn between using nuclear weapons and accepting defeat and handing back Ukrainian regions invaded by his forces, a Telegram channel claims.
Amid fresh concerns over his health, his security officials have bluntly told the warmonger president that he has run out of 'good' options.
This comes as the corpse count in the Russian armed forces plus separatist fighters and pro-Putin private armies has reached almost 65,000, said General SVR Telegram channel, an opposition source offering 'insider' information which the Kremlin is 'seeking to shut down'.
There is 'despondency' among Putin’s senior entourage that he had privately raised the 'extreme' option with 'top aides" of a 'goodwill' to cede newly invaded territories to Ukraine.
At the same time, there is a warning from his defence chiefs that a Ukrainian military counter strike is likely to be 'effective'.
Such an outcome would threaten his presidency, being seen as a humbling, crushing defeat.
But Putin’s leading officials are also said to be braced for a 'sharp deterioration' in his medical condition.
'With a high degree of probability, we can say that soon the president will not be able to personally hold meetings and participate in large events,' said the channel, which has long asserted the he suffers from cancer and other serious medical problems.
Putin’s absence will be explained as due to a return of the Covid pandemic, it was alleged.
Body doubles 'have also recently been used quite often', it alleged without specifying where or when.
In recent meetings with his security and defence aides, claimed General SVR, 'various options were discussed, from the possibility of mobilising and using tactical nuclear weapons, to opening a second front in a third country, and, finally, to "gestures of good will" with the return of the occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions to Ukraine.'
A second front might involve an invasion of northern Kazakhstan, a region with many ethnic Russians, as a distraction to hide the ignominy of his failings in Ukraine.
He has so far rejected a full mobilisation, another option, amid fears it would trigger mass mutiny.
But an ’extreme’ course was also discussed involving the return of land in the Luhansk and Donetsk 'people’s republic's' won during the almost six-month war, in addition to land in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv, stated the channel.
The discussion of the ’extreme’ options in the presence and at the initiative of the President led many in his war team to 'despondency'.
'Without exception, all of Putin's interlocutors realised that the president simply does not have ’good’ options for solving urgent and upcoming problems at the front.'
Such a move would amount to the 'beginning of the end' for his rule and the regime he heads.
The report also argued that military chiefs blame Putin for tactics which have led them to such heavy loses.
'Almost the entire military leadership of Russia lays the blame for both the unsuccessful start and, in general, the course of the military operation, and the huge losses of manpower and weapons, precisely on President Vladimir Putin,' said the channel.
Yet the military leadership 'has no doubt that they will be made guilty for all the failures and problems at the front'.

I thought the Russian position was that they were winning. All is well, remaining calm, send your sons...

While this would be bad, I would laugh my ass off if Putin decided to use nukes and deployed say 15 or so delivered by arty and say 80% of them FAILED to go BOOM. Using nukes makes the Russians look horrible but has he considered the optics of TRYING to use them and FAILING?
Russia might take the provocative step of putting Ukrainian soldiers on trial as Kyiv marks 31 years of independence for the war-ravaged country next week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky warned https://t.co/ClwPNwvbdQ

21:07 Podolyak believes that soon there will be more proposals for negotiations from Russia: “The Russian Federation is entering a deep military personnel crisis: mobilization cannot be announced, because the “king is naked”, and you won’t find volunteers with fire during the day. Debtors are used on loans, prisoners and guards of Pyaterochka, which means that soon there will be even more proposals for a break, that is, negotiations."
20:44 Putin refuses to negotiate even on humanitarian issues, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock said at an open day at the Chancellor's residence, writes Spiegel.
19:49 As a result of an enemy strike from Hurricanes on the Zelenodolsk community of the Dnepropetrovsk region, one person was killed, six were injured, including a nine-year-old child.

In general, a new mobilization system was created in the Russian Federation. It provides for the implementation of mobilization activities on a territorial basis - when subdivisions financed from the local budget are formed in each regional unit. Representatives of "small peoples" and the poorest population fall into the zone of special attention of "recruiters" first of all. According to social research, it is these categories that have the greatest "protest potential" due to the worsening socio-economic situation.

12:51 During August 23-25, Ukrainians must definitely hide in shelters at every air raid, Oleksiy Beloshitsky, First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department, said on the air of the telethon: "As for advice to citizens these days: first of all, when planning their travel routes in without fail, find out in advance where there are places of shelter, so that in the event of an air raid alarm you can very quickly and efficiently get to the shelter.

12:45 Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that if the version of the "Ukrainian trace" in the murder of Daria Dugina is confirmed by the competent authorities, "then we should talk about the policy of state terrorism in Kiev."
12:37 Podolyak said that Ukraine had nothing to do with blowing up a car with the daughter of the ideologist of the "Russian world" Alexander Dugin: "We are not a criminal state, which is the Russian Federation, and even more so not a terrorist state." The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office believes that this is the result of the struggle of political groups in Russia, but the situation will be used to increase ideological information pressure on Russian society.

09:56 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russia will probably have to withdraw part of its forces from the front line to protect the Crimea it occupies. Analysts say Russia's failure to stop attacks on its facilities in Crimea could cause discontent in Russian society.

This may reflect growing public concern about the effectiveness of Russian security measures.

Two others, a 33-year-old Russian woman and a 25-year-old Ukrainian, were also detained nearby.
The Gramsch plant is located 70 km from the beaches where Russians and Ukrainians usually relax. Previously, the company produced Soviet AK-49 assault rifles.
09:38 At night Russians fired at Nikolaev with S-300 rockets, the head of OVA Vitaly Kim reported. While it is known about the hit on the territory of the enterprise, the rest of the missiles hit the outskirts of the city. There are no previous casualties.

[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.

[RIA] At the beginning of the summer, Daria Dugina was the first to congratulate me on the EU sanctions - in fact, from her I learned that I had received personal restrictions and got on the list, which she was already on.
Dasha performed and wrote texts like Daria Platonova. We met at the beginning of the year on one of the television broadcasts - and saw each other and talked only in between filming. She was only 29 years old, but she was already well known as a political scientist and journalist, not only in Russia, but also in Europe (especially in France ) and Turkey . She also studied Francophone Africa.
Dasha fought for Russia in a word - and went to the Donbass without fear of anything.
And on Friday, she was killed - they blew up the car in which she was returning from the Tradition festival held in the Moscow region . Apparently they were aiming at her father, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin , but they hit Dasha. There are no words to express condolences to Alexander Gelevich - he miraculously survived, but lost his beloved daughter. Those who wanted to kill Dugin hate him for the Russian idea, for his loyalty to tradition and understanding of the empire, for the fact that he formulated the meanings of the coming era not only for Russia, but for the whole world.
In the West, he was called the "Kremlin ideologist" and "Putin's adviser", but this was complete nonsense - Dugin claims much more: he wants to formulate an idea that is alternative to liberal globalization as such, the idea of a way to regenerate the human spirit.
After February 24, a new era began - not the era of Dugin and not the era of Putin, but just the time that Dugin both predicted and brought closer. That is why, apparently, they decided to kill him - when they cannot defeat the idea, hatred turns against the one who dares to think differently than he should.
Who wanted to kill Dugin? Those whom he directly called "servants of the devil", that is, the globalist Anglo-Saxon elite working to defeat the anti-human ideology of transhumanism, which Russia is standing around its throat. The attack itself was almost certainly organized by the Ukrainian special services - but there is no doubt that they acted on instructions and in the interests of the Anglo-Saxon agencies.
Having failed to kill Dugin, they immediately began the dance of death over the body of his daughter - mocking and having fun. And it was joined by our fighters against "Russian fascism", who are Ukrainians in Russia itself and in exile - not only justifying the terrorist attack and murder, but also rejoicing in it.
Yes, rejoicing in the murder, mocking the heartbroken father and cursing the deceased, calling the attack "just retribution" and "revenge for the murdered Ukrainians."
No, everything was clear with them for a long time - but still it is impossible to read these comments without amazement. Although if you try to reason calmly, then everything is logical - we see a natural voluntary dehumanization. But this is the goal of that very transhumanism, which, under the guise of building superhumanity (with eternal life and "new values"), should lead to the dehumanization of man. It’s just that some of the Russophobes have already come to this, have already canceled everything human in themselves, including morality and morality, and are happily demonstrating this to others.
The "culture of abolition" of everything Russian organically turns into a policy of terror, into the demonstrative murder of those who symbolize Russian resistance and the Russian spirit.
What can we say and do in response? Cancel them themselves? But then we will turn into their likeness. No, we must not cancel - we must separate. Separate ourselves from those who mock us, while claiming to belong to our world, to our civilization. Yes, they are strangers to us, yes, they are enemies to us - and if we constantly remember this, then we will gradually cease to be surprised and indignant.
Our interests and theirs have nothing in common, we cannot and should not try to convince and re-educate them - because they just need to subjugate us, destroy those of us who denounce their plans, who do not allow them to return to the time when they could parasitize our people. They have already lost in our country and will lose even more already on a global scale, because the process of Russia's return of itself that has begun is unstoppable and is directly related to global changes. No murders, no terror will stop the course of Russian history, will not defeat the ideas that drive it.
"Don't be intimidated!" - said, Prime Minister Stolypin in 1907, the year before that he almost lost his daughter after the explosion of his house. A few years later, Stolypin was nevertheless killed - thereby opening the way to the catastrophe of February 1917 and the civil war. But the Russians have learned the bloody lessons of their history and will not allow them to be repeated. And the memory of the murder of Daria Dugina will help us in this.

Ukraine denies the bombing saying they are not a Terrorist State like Russia. They charge that anti-Putin resistance in Russia representing Russians who were arrested for opposing invading Russia's neighbors are responsible.

...Damned globalist Anglo-Saxon elite working to defeat the anti-human ideology of transhumanism. Once they get in the house, you pretty much gotta call Orkin and have the whole place tented.

Said while cheering the extermination of Ukrainian as an identity and the kidnapping of Ukrainian civilians. Not really capable of abstract thought, is he?

^ It is rumored that Dennis Rodman will return to Earth from his home world to intercede on Brittany's behalf.
Sponsored with grant money from USAid and NED - I speculate.
A group no one heard of before they killed the daughter. A group that is not cross referenceable, cannot find mention of on the web until rather recently.
There is some noise in UKR social media about killing off the next generation of russian leaders. That could be the MO.
My take away from the article: The attack itself was almost certainly organized by the Ukrainian special services - but there is no doubt that they acted on instructions and in the interests of the Anglo-Saxon agencies.
How will russia respond... if history serves as a guide, I dont think you want to enter a game of assassinations with the Russians, they might chop you up, put you in suitcase, and mail it to your family.
@Richard. More and more as I am seeing more data coming out I am thinking that. Her or her father's death gains the Ukraine nothing. Ukraine will have its independence day Wednesday the 24th. What better way for Russia to do something nasty to it then by claiming they did an assassination (to arguably a horrible person) and retaliate in some horrible way? Makes sense to an old KGB guy like Putie-pie.

Looks like lots of Russians are deciding to leave Ukraine before the 2 Armies have a go at it down there.
For you who are not familiar with Ukraine, once Kherson is occupied by Ukrainian forces again, the jig is up for Russian control of Crimea and Putin understands this.
The only fresh water going to Crimea comes from above Crimea in Kherson Province and the Dnieper River. Russia will not be capable of getting potable water to Crimea due to the war, their ships will easily be sunk now that Russia decided to start this war.
General Hertling( retired) believes Ukraine has maneuvered a large( possibly 15K soldiers) section of Russian troops into a Falaise Gap type surrender deal, they cannot supply them now that most bridges are down. We'll see:
They say that war is how Americans learn geography, and I've certainly learned more about the geography of Ukraine in the last six months than I ever thought I'd know.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Today air defense is working again in Sevastopol. We must get used to the fact that this week we will live with frequent news about it.
On the eve of Independence Day on August 24, Ukraine needs to suck at least some kind of victory.
For four days we will observe intensified attempts from Kyiv to hit at least some kind of object in the Crimea.
They will be the happiest if at least a kilogram bomb is thrown from a drone in the area of the Crimean bridge, which, of course, is like a speck of dust to the bridge, but which can cause a massive pissing of bloomers with joy among the Maidan patriots.
They will also probably try to bang HHIMARS rocket artillery on Novofedorovka again. Dill doesn't care about results. They only care about the media effect.
Ukrainians for several months squealed and hung noodles on the ears of the West and its population about the counterattack on Kherson. But "I couldn't." On the Ukrainian side and in the West, severe disappointment because of this.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have no resources, and all the statements were empty PR, the purpose of which is to manipulate the attention of Ukrainians. Only if the Ukrainians got used to such “promises” did everyone in the West realize the real situation, which could play against Ukraine in the future.
Therefore, now, by August 24, Kyiv switched to the Crimea. To, as I already wrote at the beginning, at least pump something for informational reasons. Outside the city, the estate of successes on the fronts, Ukrainians are looking for them at least in any place.
Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk.
[DonRF] The murder of Darya Dugina is undoubtedly a tragedy. The death of a civilian is always a tragedy. Here's yesterday:
Over the past day, from 08:00 on August 20 to 08:00 on August 21, as a result of shelling of the VFU in the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, two people were killed and eight civilians were injured (one of the victims was wounded by a prohibited anti-personnel mine PFM-1 )
Two people died in the DPR. At least one more cripple. So the kingdom of heaven. Interesting in this murder is different - who killed and why. I wonder why such a violent reaction. I wonder what's next. Let's start with the fact that the explosion of a car in the MSC is in itself an act of terrorism. Criminal or political. And since Dugin is not a businessman, and not a star of the first magnitude, business and criminality are unlikely.
Of course, it makes little sense to respected negotiating partners, but knowing Kyiv friends and conscientious investors who have their own gang underground, but do not have the skills and capabilities, but are pursuing tactics of intimidating the Russian society, they could well. Easily. The goal is without protection, without protection, but somehow sideways from afar involved in the Kremlin. Even so. Not one hundred percent of course, this is already a consequence will say (or not say).
But the reaction of the media party is understandable. They are not bad people, by no means, not animals, not complete cynics. They are at work. And while children were being killed in Makovka, old people in Energodar, while children were being maimed in the Belgorod region, it was from afar and abstract. And the party line demanded to crush thoughts about mobilization, about decision-making centers, about anything sharp. They pressed, ridiculing those (and some demanding that they be imprisoned, forced to eat asphalt, introduce total censorship) who demanded the strange. And now the trouble has come to the party. To journalists and LOMs. In Moscow living rooms. That's all. Report figures are one thing, personal acquaintances are another. The abyss stretched and looked into the face.
What's next? NOTHING. No one will change the course on such a "little thing". Yes, and what to change? That's serious. Within the framework of the SVO, when we almost agreed on the supply of spare parts for agricultural machinery to the Russian Federation, and the supply of Russian products to the EU, there will be no drastic change. There will be artillery, there will be local operations and attachment to the treaty. So, I repeat once again - Daria has the Kingdom of Heaven, like all those who died in the conflict, but wait for something ... Excuse me, I'm more worried about the events in the DPR, where people die every day, and there is no end in sight. For me, people are people, regardless of the party.
As if this story couldn't get any more ridiculous...
[Sports Illustrated] - As the fight to bring detained WNBA star Brittney Griner back to the United States continues, Dennis Rodman announced Saturday he plans to lend a helping hand toward the efforts.
The Basketball Hall of Famer shared in an interview with NBC News his intention to travel to Russia in the near future to seek Griner’s release. Griner, 31, was sentenced to nine years in a Russian penal colony earlier this month after facing drug charges following her arrest at a Moscow airport in February for possessing hashish oil in her luggage.
"I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl," Rodman said. "I’m trying to go this week." According to NBC, Rodman is not required to receive special permission from the U.S. to make the trip, and would need only a visa from Moscow.
Ashtrakhan is located on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea.
[REGNUM] During archaeological excavations near Astrakhan, the remains of a fortification were discovered, presumably being part of a medieval fortress. This was announced by a senior researcher at the Astrakhan Museum-Reserve Damir Solovyov to the TASS agency.
Archaeologists near Astrakhan are excavating a settlement dating back to the 8th-10th century AD. These excavations are part of a long-term effort to find traces of Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khaganate. Medieval sources testify that this city was located in the Volga delta.
In the summer of 2022, archaeologists discovered a fortress wall about 18 meters long and over 4 meters wide. The structure is badly damaged, then archaeologists expect to find pivoting towers and other parts of the fortress.
"It is a great success that we managed to get closer to unraveling the mystery of the lost Itil, although we still cannot say with 100% accuracy that this is the same lost city, but the presence of fortification and the urban layer fixes the status of the city for this object ," noted Solovyov.
He added that several unique artifacts were found during the excavations, which confirm that the Great Silk Road passed along this route. In particular, scientists discovered a coin of the Turgesh Khaganate (VIII century), which comes from the territory of Central Asia.
