The daughter of an ultra-nationalist Russian who advocates Russia absorbing Ukraine was killed in a suspected car bomb attack outside Moscow, Russian state investigators said.
Darya Dugina, the daughter of Alexander Dugin — an influential Russian political theorist often referred to as "Putin's brain" — was killed in a car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow, authorities said Sunday.The Associated PressDarya Dugina, the daughter of influential Russian political theorist Alexander Dugin, is pictured in the Tsargrad TV studio in Moscow in this undated photo.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But the bloodshed gave rise to suspicions that the intended target was her father, Alexander Dugin, a nationalist philosopher and writer. Denis Pushilin, president of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, the pro-Moscow region that is a focus of Russia's fighting in Ukraine, blamed it on "terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, trying to kill Alexander Dugin."
Political analyst Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin, called the attack "an act of intimidation" aimed at Kremlin loyalists. Alexander Dugin is seen at an October 2014 Moscow rally in support of the Russian-backed, self-proclaimed separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Eastern Ukraine.
