The
daughter of well-known, ultra-nationalist scholar Alexander Dugin was killed by
a vehicle bomb on the outskirts of Moscow, according to Russian authorities,
who said Sunday that they had launched a murder probe.
Based
on the information previously gathered from the blast, the Russian
Investigative Committee stated that it thought someone planned and ordered the
automobile explosion that killed Darya Dugina. The investigative committee
released a statement on Sunday that stated, "Taking into account the
data already obtained, the investigation believes that the crime was
pre-planned and was of an ordered nature,"
According
to the press office of the Russian Investigative Committee, as reported by the
Russian state news agency TASS, Dugina passed away at the scene after "an
explosive device, presumably installed in the Toyota Land Cruiser, went off on
a public road and the car caught fire" at around 9.00 p.m. local time on
Saturday, close to the village of Bolshiye Vyazemy.
Author
and ideologist Dugina's father is credited as having planned or served as the
"spiritual guide" of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He was dubbed
"Putin's Brain" by Foreign Affairs magazine and is rumored to be a
major influence on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The
United States has imposed sanctions on both Dugin and his daughter. In July,
the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Dugina for spreading false information
about Ukraine and the Russian invasion of that country on different online
platforms, according to a statement.
Videos
of the explosion showed a burning car at the side of the road and shattered
auto pieces all over the vicinity. Dugin may be seen in an unconfirmed video
taken at the scene.
As
the car belonged to Alexander, a friend of Dugina informed TASS that he thought
Dugina's father, or possibly both of them, were the real targets of the
explosion.
