Car blast kills daughter of Russian nationalist known as ‘Putin’s brain’
The HinduThe daughter of 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 on Sunday. The Moscow branch of the Russian Investigative Committee said preliminary information indicated that the 29-year-old TV commentator Daria Dugina was killed by an explosive planted in the SUV she was driving on Saturday night. Mr. Dugin is a prominent proponent of the “Russian world” concept, a spiritual and political ideology that emphasizes on traditional values, restoration of Russia’s power and the unity of all ethnic Russians throughout the world. 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 Mr. Alexander Dugin.” Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, denied Ukrainian involvement, saying, "We are not a criminal State, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist State.” Analyst Sergei Markov, a former Putin adviser, told the Russian State news agency RIA-Novosti that Mr. Dugin, and not his daughter, was probably the intended target and said, “It’s completely obvious that the most probable suspects are Ukrainian military intelligence and the Ukrainian Security Service.” While Mr. Dugin's exact ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin are unclear, the Kremlin frequently echoes rhetoric from his writings and appearances on Russian State TV.
