On August 22, Vladimir Putin signed a decree awarding the journalist the Order of Courage (posthumously) "for courage and dedication shown in the performance of professional duty."

“A journalist, scientist, philosopher, war correspondent, she honestly served the people, the Fatherland, she proved by deed what it means to be a patriot of Russia,” the President of the Russian Federation emphasized, expressing condolences to the relatives of Daria Dugina.

The father of the journalist, philosopher Alexander Dugin, believes that his daughter died for the “Russian idea”: “Everything was thrown at killing her, and, in principle, there was no mistake.

They beat her."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the murder of a Russian journalist "a barbaric crime for which there is no forgiveness."

“There can be no mercy for the organizers, customers and performers,” he emphasized.

The writer, co-chairman of the Just Russia - For Truth party, Zakhar Prilepin, in an interview with RT indicated that "completely Ukrainian methodology" can be traced behind this crime.

“The highest cynicism of everything that is happening is that she (suspected of the murder of Dugina. -

) was with her daughter,” he said.

The Russian side also called on the UN Security Council to condemn the murder of Dugina.

The Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, during one of the meetings of the Security Council, pointed out that the Russian journalist was "in the sights of Ukrainian nationalists."
