Daughter of close Putin ally killed in bomb attack
The daughter of the Russian philosopher and leader of the neo-Eurasianist movement, Alexander Dugin, Daria Dugina, died this Saturday when a bomb exploded in the car in which she was traveling in the Moscow region, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
Dugina, a journalist and political scientist, was driving the vehicle when it caught fire. "It was completely on fire, he lost control because he was driving at high speed and flew to the opposite side of the road," said Andrei Krasnov, leader of the Russky Gorizont movement and an acquaintance of the family.

Aparentemente el objetivo era Alexander Duguin, famoso ideólogo ultra conservador, y padre de ella.

Alexander Dugin, leader of the Eurasian Movement, is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dugin is credited with being the "spiritual guide" to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, frequently described as "Putin's brains". In 2015 he was sanctioned by the US for alleged participation in the Russian annexation of Crimea.
Their daughter, Dugina, was born in 1992 and studied Philosophy at Moscow State University, according to TASS. At the beginning of the year, the United States and British authorities sanctioned her for contributing to disinformation about the war in Ukraine through the medium in which she was director, the United World International (UWI) website, described by Washington as "a medium of disinformation".
