• War in Europe The daughter of Dugin, the ideologue of the Russian conservative revolution, dies in an attack

  • Russia The murder of the daughter of Dugin, an ally of Putin, unleashes a wave of indignation in Russia

The spectacular car bomb attack on the outskirts of Moscow that took the life of Daria Dugina,

daughter of the main ideologue of the Russian conservative revolution

, has stirred up the spirits of the most radical sectors of the Russian elite, who ask for a strong hand within the country and in Ukraine.

Daria Dugina, 30, was known for her activity as a political commentator and was sanctioned by the UK for

"promoting policies to destabilize Ukraine"

.

Aligned with the nationalist theses of her father, Alexander Dugin, she stated in an interview that "the main battle today is not so much military as it is cultural," which did not prevent her from cheering on the attack on Ukraine in February.

Kiev denied being behind the attack,

which could also be a reckoning with the Russian elite

.

Apparently, Dugina had been very critical of the role of the Russian secret services in preparing an invasion that failed to take kyiv and has met more resistance than expected.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said

that the official investigation should check whether there is a "Ukrainian track"

.

"If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed, then we must talk about the state terrorism policy implemented by the kyiv regime," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel on Sunday morning.

Shortly before, the leader of the self-proclaimed people's republic of Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, the pro-Russian Denis Pushilin,

directly accused the Kiev government

of being behind the attack.

"In an attempt to eliminate Alexander Dugin the terrorists of the Ukrainian regime have killed his daughter," he proclaimed.

Kiev denied any responsibility

.

"Ukraine has nothing to do with this, because we are not a criminal state like the Russian Federation and we are not a terrorist state," said Mikhailo Podolyak, one of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky's advisers.

But there is less patience among the Russian elite

after a week of repeated Ukrainian attacks on the Crimean peninsula

, whose annexation by Russia in 2014 catalyzed a patriotic surge that lasted for years in the polls.

These are humiliating days for Russian expansionism, which feels the explosions closer and closer.

Without the investigation having culled a single piece of evidence, the guts already spoke in the first hours.

Russian senator Andrei Klishas described the attack

as an "enemy attack"

and demanded that its material and intellectual authors be brought to justice.

"This crime cannot go unpunished, we must respond harshly and decisively," cried Pyotr Tolstoy, vice president of the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian Parliament.

Margarita Simonyan, the director of the official RT channel, called for the arrest of all those who mock the attack

and demanded from social networks that Russia launch attacks against the "decision centers" in Ukraine.

A new request to assassinate the government and the president of the neighboring country.

TARGET: DUGIN

It is not clear if the attack was directed against her or against her father.

The details that were known point to the second scenario.

According to the musician Piotr Lundstrem, at nightfall on Saturday Daria and her father were supposed to return together from the festival of family values ​​'Tradition' at the Zakharovo estate, where they attended as honored guests.

But finally

Alexander Dugin went as a passenger in another car behind his daughter

: this is how the leader of the Russian neo-Eurasianist movement saved his life.

Activist Andrei Krasnov, a friend of Daria Dugina, said in an interview with the TASS agency that at the time of the attack

she was driving an SUV belonging to her father

.

Serguei Alexandrov, a friend of the family, stressed that both "have quite a few enemies. Before they were threatened."

"I am more than sure that this is due to her professional activities and her patriotic position," Alexandrov told the 360 ​​television channel.

Dugina actively supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine

and was one of the authors of a soon-to-be published book - entitled 'Z' - on the subject.

Referring to the "special operation", Dugina wrote that the Russian army's actions in Ukraine are "making life prevail over death" and described Ukraine as a country that had turned away from the Christian path and embraced Russophobia.

A PLANNED ATTACK

The explosive (400 grams of dynamite) detonated in the Toyota Land Cruiser in which he was traveling.

Investigators are considering "all versions" when determining who is responsible for the crime that cost Dugina her life.

The deceased widely supported her father's ideas and appeared on state television many times

to offer her support for Russia's actions in Ukraine

.

The television images show the agents collecting different fragments from the rubble at the place where the explosion occurred.

According to some friends,

he himself ended up in the hospital after arriving at the scene of the crime.

Investigators have established that an explosive device was placed under the bottom of the car, on the driver's side, where Daria Dugina eventually sat unaccompanied.

The attack was commissioned and planned in advance, the Investigative Committee said.

Daria Platonova Dugina was 30 years old, a philosopher graduated from Moscow State University.

She was passionate about the ideas of Plato and the Neoplatonic thinkers.

But, following her family tradition, she also defended the Marxist work of Antonio Gramsci.

The Dugins promoted a far right with communist leanings

, religious and in constant fight with the West.

Jean Baudrillard and Martin Heidegger were two reference authors of Dugina, who was photographed reading as well as holding a rifle.

"The fact that we are subject to sanctions

is also a symbol that the Dugins are on the path of truth

in the fight against globalism. Therefore, I would say that it is an honor to have been born into such a family," he declared. May in a report on the 'BreizhInfo' portal.

According to eyewitnesses,

the detonation occurred under the bottom of the car

, after which the car, engulfed in flames, flew off the road and crashed into a building.

Dugin himself has confessed to investigators that he and his daughter had recently received threats from "Ukrainian nationalists" on social media, but did not report them, a source told 'Komsomolskaya Pravda'.
