The car driven by the daughter of "Putin's ideologist" Aleksandr Dugin, Darya, exploded last night near the village of Velyki Vyazomi on the outskirts of Moscow.
The woman died in the attack and the hypothesis that prevails at the moment is that the real target was Aleksandr Dugin himself.
The man at the last moment did not get into the same car as his daughter, thus managing to save himself.
The philosopher is currently hospitalized.
This was announced by the political scientist and former adviser of Vladimir Putin, Serghei Markov, on his Telegram channel: "Poor Aleksandr. Now he is in hospital. Our deepest condolences".
According to the Guardian, several Russian pro-Kremlin leaders are accusing Kiev of having commissioned the murder
Denis Pushilin, leader of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian Republic of Donetsk in Donbass, openly accused Ukraine on his Telegram account: "Infamous cowards! The terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, in an attempt to eliminate Aleksandr Dugin, blew up his daughter. Era a real Russian girl! ".
Meanwhile, in Moscow, investigators have opened an investigation.
According to Tass, the same investigators of the Investigative Department of the Russian capital are also investigating the manner in which the attack was carried out.
From the first investigations, it seems that an "explosive device" had been planted on the Toyota Land Cruiser.
"It is obvious that the one against Daria Dugina was an act of terrorism. As it is obvious that as of today there are no more safe places in Russia. The only way to protect the country is to destroy our natural enemy sitting in Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk. , Kharkov, Nikolaev, Odessa and other Russian cities ".
These are the words of Akim Apachev, a friend and one of the last to have spoken with the journalist Daria Dugina.
This was reported by the Russian Orthodox broadcaster Tsargrad, for which the victim's father worked.

Explosion of Alexsadr Dugin's daughter's car
The images from the explosion scene portray Dugin in the street, with his hands in his hair, in front of his daughter's car on fire.
The two had participated yesterday in the 'Tradition' festival, about fifty kilometers from the center of Moscow.
During the festival, the car was parked in the VIP area, but, according to the Russian newspaper Lenta, the surveillance cameras were out of order.
According to the Guardian, which cited the UK government's sanctions enforcement office, Darya Dugin had been described as a "high-profile and frequent proponent of disinformation about Ukraine and the Russian invasion on various online platforms."
The woman had also been subjected to sanctions by the US Treasury Department as director of the United World International (Uwi) site, accused of disinformation, owned by Ievgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Putin.
Aleksandr Dugin, the father, is considered to be the promoter of the ultranationalist "Eurasian" ideology - branded as "Russian fascism" - which inspires Vladimir Putin's "imperialist" foreign policy and therefore also the invasion of Ukraine.
Since 2015, like his daughter, he has been under international sanctions as an "ideologue" of the annexation of Crimea to Russia.
Ultranationalist and conservative, Aleksandr Dugin has in fact always declared himself an enemy of liberal principles, coming to hypothesize a 'Eurasian' world including Europe and Russia as opposed to the United States and its liberal values.
Europe, according to Dugin, should therefore be removed from the 'Atlantic' and reconverted to the alleged 'Russian' values of fidelity to traditions and community identities, all in contrast to individual rights.
Daughter Darya, who had recently become a TV personality, was a notorious supporter of her father's theories.
