One of the musicians who participated in the event, the violinist Piotr Lúndstrem, assured on his Telegram channel that the ideologue and his daughter were going to ride in the same vehicle, but Dugin changed his mind at the last moment.

Ukraine dissociates itself from the attack

The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zajárova, had no qualms about insinuating that Kyiv was the author of the attack. "If the Ukrainian trail is confirmed, in the version that was exposed by the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, although it must be confirmed by the competent authorities, then we should talk about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the regime. of Kyiv," Zakharova said.
The Ukrainian government has denied this Sunday having any relationship with the attack. "Ukraine has nothing to do with this, because we are not a criminal state like the Russian Federation, nor are we a terrorist state," one of Volodimir Zelensky's top advisers, Mikhailo Podolyak, told Ukrainian television.
The representative of the Ukrainian government analyzes that the attack against Dugina shows the internal fissures of the regime in Moscow. "Russia has begun to disintegrate internally," Podolyak analyzed, noting that there are already several ideological factions in Russia fighting for power, at the same time that ultra-nationalist groups are becoming even more radicalized since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

Dugina following in her father's footsteps
Daria Dugina, born in 1992 in the post-Soviet era, was also a political scientist and followed in her father's footsteps, a reference among the most radical factions that whisper in the Kremlin that Ukraine must be destroyed and annexed. She was the director of the United World International (UWI) website and was on the list of those sanctioned by the British and North American authorities for her role in "disinformation" around the conflict in Ukraine.
His father, Alexander Dugin, is a Russian philosopher and analyst considered to be one of the main ideologues of the Vladimir Putin regime, to the point that his figure has been compared to that of the monk Rasputin, who was a trusted person and personal adviser to the Last Tsar of Russia.
In the late 2000s, he positioned himself as a staunch supporter of Vladimir Putin's foreign policies. Banned from entering Ukraine since 2006, Dugin has advocated Russia's annexation of Georgia and Ukraine, and in fact, authored the text of Crimea's accession to Russia in 2014.
He was an adviser to the puppet governments of Donetsk and Luhansk and was critical of what in his opinion was Putin's lukewarmness after the conflict. Digun's Eurasian ideology, which has links to far-right parties (such as the French National Front) and far-left parties (Syriza in Greece), is considered by experts to be the theoretical basis for Russia's February invasion of Ukraine. this year.
