An aide to President Volodymyr Zelensky said today that Russia “is living in a fictional world” after Ukraine was accused of planning a bombing attack on the daughter of ultranationalist Alexander Dugin, Daria Dugina. He is known as the “guru” of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but has never held a government post.
Daria (20) died shortly after an explosion outside Moscow on Saturday. He was a journalist and political scientist and openly supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Daria was traveling in a Toyota Land Cruiser that belonged to her father. According to Reuters, the suspect is that a bomb was placed on the outside of the vehicle, under the driver’s seat. The Russian news agency Tass adds that the attack will be pre-planned and will target Alexander. Previously, father and daughter were at a nationalist festival called “Traditions”.
According to Moscow, the murder of Daria dugina It was prepared and carried out by the secret services of Ukraine. In a statement, FSB (Russian intelligence service) claims that the person responsible for the attack fled to Estonia after the attack.
Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak was the first official to comment on the case. “Russian propaganda lives in a fictional world: a Ukrainian woman and her 12-year-old son were tasked with blowing up Dugina’s car. Surprisingly, they did not find her Estonian passport at the scene.”
Hours ago, he told local television that Ukraine “is not a terrorist state”.
Russian state news agency RIA Novosti shared a post from a Telegram channel run by Russian hackers (RaHDit), claiming that the alleged attacker, a woman, served in Azov, which is classified as a terrorist organization in Russia.
Although Kyiv denies any involvement in the alleged attack, it fears that Russia will use the young woman’s death as an excuse to retaliate. Ukraine celebrates the 29th anniversary of its independence from the former Soviet Union on Wednesday, 24. The date will coincide with six months of the Russian occupation, which caused tens of thousands of deaths and mass destruction in the country.
On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Moscow could prepare something “brutal” against Ukraine this week.

In March, Dugina was one of the targets of US sanctions for contributing to disinformation about the war in Ukraine. Four months later, in July, sanctions were imposed by the United Kingdom for the same reason, according to the American newspaper The New York Times.
“[Dugina é] “He is a writer who frequently writes misinformation about Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine on various online platforms.”
Is My Father Really Putin’s Guru?
The influence of Dugina’s father, Alexander Dugin, on Russian President Vladimir Putin has been the subject of speculation. Some experts call it important, hence the reason for nicknames such as “Putin’s philosopher”, “Putin’s brain” and even “modern Rasputin”. But for others, Dugin’s influence on the president was minimal.
In recent years, Ukraine has banned several of his books.
