An explosion in Moscow killed the daughter of a critical ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Daria Dugina, aged 29, was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser Sunday when the car exploded.
She was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, who’s popularly called “Putin’s brain.” Dugin is an outstanding Russian nationalist intellectual whose vision of a revived Russian empire influenced Putin’s war in neighbouring Ukraine. The Authorities in Russia have launched a criminal investigation.
Alexander Dugin and Daria Dugin have advocated for Russia’s invasion for some time. They have often stated that Russia can only survive if Ukraine is destroyed.
Dugin was positioned on Western sanctions lists as a critical proponent of the Kremlin’s forced annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. He additionally sponsored Russia’s choice to send troops into Ukraine earlier this year.
The United States placed sanctions on Daria Dugina in March after she served as chief editor for United World International, which the Treasury Department labelled as a disinformation site. The United States additionally placed sanctions on Dugina in July 2022
Mykhailo Podolyak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated Dugina’s loss of life resulted from Russia’s domestic instability and was not any navy action from his country.
He also said that it resulted from her support of the war.
“Every man or woman is meant to pay for his or her words,” Podolyak stated in Ukrainian.
