The daughter of Vladimir Putin’s favorite philosopher died this Saturday in Moscow, in the midst of a confusing episode and after the explosion of the car in which he was traveling. The victim is Daria Duguina, daughter of Oleksandr Dugin, targeted as one of the Russian president’s ideologues.
The car driven by Daria exploded in the village of Velyki Vyazomi, in outskirts of Moscow.
This was announced by the Tass agency, which wrote that “a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado flew through the air in the village of Velyki Vyazomy, on the outskirts of Moscow.
Numerous images and videos of the explosion site circulate on Twitter. For some, the goal was Oleksandr Dugin himself. The security forces are currently investigating the hypothesis of an attack.
According to the RT channel, it would be the same Russian ultra-nationalist philosopher and political scientist, the man with his hands in his hair seen in the video recorded at the site of the explosion. Daria Dugina was 30 years old.
The same media indicated that witnesses specified that the explosion occurred at 21:45 local time in the middle of the road and that debris jumped throughout the area.
After the explosion, the car he crashed into a fence and was engulfed in flames there.
According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, which cites Russian sources, the two, who were returning from a public event, should have been traveling in the same car, but Dugin decided, at the last minute, to get into another vehicle.
In principle, the police reports were not known, nor the origin of the explosion that ended the woman’s life.
On his Telegram channel, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denís Pushilin, ignited the controversy by claiming that behind the attack there are “Ukrainian regime terrorists” who were trying to kill Dugin.
Daria was engaged in journalism, philosophy and political science and in July 2022 was placed on the UK sanctions lists against Russian personalities in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine.
Dugin is a philosopher who has taken up the tradition of Russian nationalism to support Vladimir Putin’s presidency; has developed a theory of international relations that warns of the growth potential of Eurasia in a multipolar world.
Dugin visited Argentina several times, where he presented his ideas in conferences, where he questioned liberalism as a political philosophy, which he characterized as the expression of a new type of totalitarianism.
