Daria Dugina, Aleksandr Dugin's daughter, assassinated in Moscow

[Bill Ryan]

I'm sure we'll be hearing about the whole huge cascade of outrage and anger from tens of thousands in Russia (and quite a few voices in the 'alt' west, too).

One of the tragic twists here is that the rage and demands for retaliative justice will be far greater because it was Dugin's very beautiful and impressive daughter who was killed, her body burned beyond recognition — and not Dugin himself.

If this was a page in a movie script describing the tipping of the SMO in Ukraine to full-scale war in Europe, it'd be a plausible one.

Western leaders would be VERY smart to call Putin personally tomorrow and express condolences on officially transcribed record, stating clearly that they do not support such terrorist incidents and knew absolutely nothing about this.

It's akin to the WWI script where one assassination started it. The Spanish Flu was a factor in ending the conflict.
history

World War I, also known as the Great War, began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Canada, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Thanks to new military technologies and the horrors of trench warfare, World War I saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction. By the time the war was over and the Allied Powers claimed victory, more than 16 million people—soldiers and civilians alike—were dead.

Feckers! So now those glorious agents of the "free West" are going after Civilians eh.

I think we're past crocodile tears Bill, active or passive, they're all complicit, besides those mental patients don't mean anything they say anyway, especially not when it comes to emotions.

How to deal with rabid animals? You don't reason with them, there is only putting them down or they will never stop harming other people

There is no mind that can be reasoned with behind those brutal animals, there is is only rabid beasts acting on impulse, such a beast can't be reasoned with, ever

The Ukrainians are behind this, but also the enablers and puppeteers from the west, all of this is happening because of them, and they too, are brutal mindless beasts that need to be put down, the time is already past beyond any cure for such a stupid beast to come back to any human reasoning, they all just know to solve everything by causing death and suffering, that's the reality of it all

I agree and have said it many times before, although Gulag would have my preference, death will come always, life, well life can be hard, especially under the right circumstances for snowflakes like that.

A brief but significant comment from Citizen Free Press:

Alexander Dugin was supposed to be in the vehicle that was bombed, but switched cars before this leg of the journey. His daughter Daria Dugina was killed. According to Steve Bannon, this is likely a CIA/Ukraine attack.

Or quite possibly MI6, but, still, a tragic event and a very dangerous development

RT has nothing more on this yet, but here's the update from Sputnik News. The forensic teams were on this immediately.

Moscow: If 'Ukraine's Trace' is Found in Dugina's Death, it'll Point to Kiev's State Terrorism Policy



Earlier in the day, Russian investigators said they believe the deadly car accident that left Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin's daughter Daria dead was ordered and planned.

If suspicions that Ukraine was involved in Daria Dugina's death are confirmed, then it will point at Kiev's policy of state terrorism, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed - and this theory was voiced by the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin - it should be checked by competent authorities, then we need to talk about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the Kiev regime," Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

Earlier on Sunday, Russia's Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of murder after Daria Dugina, the 29-year-old daughter of Russian political philosopher and analyst Alexander Dugin, was killed in a car accident in the Moscow region on Saturday night.

According to investigators, an explosive device was planted under the bottom of a Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle Daria was driving. The car was traveling at full speed when it exploded in the Odintsovsky District in the Moscow region at about 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Saturday.

At present, investigators are inspecting the scene of the accident. The burnt car, which was subsequently removed to specialized parking, has been examined by an explosives specialist. Investigators have seized a video recording from the car and the security services were ordered to identify those involved and witnesses.

In addition, expert examinations are being undertaken, including biological, genetic, physical, chemical and explosive forensic examinations.

Russian Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykin has instructed the relevant authorities to transfer the criminal case on the murder of Dugina to the Main Investigation Department for a further comprehensive and objective investigation.

Daria Dugina was born in Moscow in 1992. She graduated from the Philosophy department of the Moscow State University and worked as political analyst and journalist. Like her father Alexander, Daria was a proponent of traditionalist beliefs and supported Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. In July, she was included in UK sanctions lists. Dugin himself was sanctioned by the EU, US and Canada in 2014 and 2015.

And here's the report from Readovska News, a prominent Russian-language site. The English-language Tass article is very similar. There's nothing yet on the Kremlin's official website.

Here's the English translation:

The case of Daria Dugina's murder has been transferred to the central office of the Investigative Committee



The investigators believe the crime was a contract killing

Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin instructed to transfer the criminal case on the murder of Daria Dugina to the central office of the Investigative Committee, the department said. Earlier, the prosecutor's office of the Moscow region put the progress and results of the investigation of the criminal case under control.

The investigation believes that the crime was well-planned and a contract killing. The department also said that an improvised explosive device was planted under the bottom of Darya Dugina's car on the driver's side.

“Examinations are being appointed, including biological, genetic, physical-chemical, explosive forensic examinations, a video recording from the car’s DVR was seized, an order was sent to operational services to identify the persons who committed the crime and other witnesses of the incident ,” the department noted.

Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian public figure Alexander Dugin, died at night in the suburbs - she was returning in a jeep from the literary and musical festival in Zakharovo. Musician Peter Lundstrem said that her father was supposed to be in the car in which Daria died.

Alexander Dugin gave a lecture at the festival, and his daughter was also present. Daria was blown up in a car near the village of Bolshie Vyazma on Mozhayskoye Highway, she was driving for about ten minutes. According to the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin,"terrorists of the Ukrainian regime" were involved in the explosion. SC opened a criminal case under paragraph "e" of Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

• "Europe Is The Battlefield Between Two Worldviews" - Interview With Daria Dugina

Great post John, excellent

This typically intelligent quote sums up Ukraine - fast becoming Orcraine - just perfectly:

First of all, I think it is necessary to realise that the media propaganda system aims to strengthen American influence on the European continent. This, by the way, is often talked about in Italy. It is very important to understand that today the regime in Kiev is a stronghold of a destructive globalist ideology with ideas of xenophobia, radical hatred and tyranny.

Nailed.

After several hours of odd silence, this is now being widely reported in the western media.

Here's a New York Times report, which is actually cautiously measured and pretty accurate. (A good thing.) It's incorporated in their rolling updates page, not all of which is nearly as well-written or honest.

Daria's murder doesn't mean that the SMO was an unwise military and political step to take. It was entirely justified.

And in the end — though after a great deal of destruction and bloodshed, most of which is at the hands of Zelensky and the US/UK — this will all have a positive outcome for the world. That means for you, me, and everyone reading this.

On the contrary, the murder of this beautiful and impressive young woman adds more fuel to the fire of smoldering outrage that many people in Russia feel about the Ukrainian regime (not about Ukrainian citizens themselves), and about just about everyone in Europe who has made it crystal clear that all Russians are hated, inferior people.

The sheer shrieking racism in action here is staggering. No-one in the west is willing or able to talk about it. I'm disgusted with 90+% of everyone who speaks my own language right now. And I have been for quite a while.

• The Assassination Attempt On Alexander Dugin's Daughter, Darya, Was A Terrorist Attack:

Arya Dugina, the daughter of Russian philosopher and professor Alexander Dugin, was killed Saturday night when the jeep she was driving exploded on a Moscow highway due to what investigators say was a bomb previously placed inside. There is also suspicion that her father was the intended target, after sources revealed that he should also have been in the vehicle, but decided at the very last minute to return home from the family festival “Tradition and History” in a different way. . While no related evidence has yet been made public, many are beginning to believe that Kiev was behind this horrific terrorist attack, writes Andrew Korybko .

Professor Dugin is arguably the second "most notorious" Russian behind President Putin in the Western imagination, after being falsely accused of being akin to a modern version of "Rasputin". According to this artificially fabricated information war narrative, spun for more than half a decade, that philosopher's past works are said to have convinced the Russian leader to restore the influence of his former superpower on the countries that formerly made up the Soviet Union. The reality, however, is that this geostrategic tendency was the natural result of the great power gradually recovering from its post-Soviet collapse and more confidently defending the red lines of its national security in Eurasia.

Nevertheless, it serves the narrative interests of Western perception managers to devise a dramatic conspiracy theory, to make it easier to manipulate their target audience. This false interpretation of geostrategic events, however, was not limited to the media, but ultimately had deadly consequences, in that the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev was successfully convinced that Professor Dugin posed a so-called "threat", which they believe was therefore had to be eliminated, ergo the assassination attempt on him, which ultimately killed his daughter. This sequence of events leads to several very important conclusions.

• London refuses to talk to Donetsk People's Republic to exempt its mercenaries from death penalty

First, baseless accusations, such as those against Professor Dugin, can spread like wildfire if they creatively capture the imagination of their target audience. Second, if it prompts people to commit acts of violence against the person being smeared, this fake news can have very real consequences. Third, civilians like him and his daughter, who go about their daily lives, are so-called “soft targets” who are easier to hit than government figures because they don't have full-time security forces to protect them. Fourth, the Ukrainian intelligence services were apparently monitoring their movements, invading their circles, preparing to strike at a later date.

And fifth, Professor Dugin and his daughter are public figures who accordingly share their calendars of events on social media, which in retrospect contributed to this so-called “opportunity crime” that was planned to be committed indirectly, through the car bomb that ended up being was used as part of this assassination plot. From this it can be speculated that the perpetrator either placed the device while the two were at Saturday's festival or sometime before that, with it being unclear whether it was detonated via a timer that could not be stopped (hence it exploded despite that the philosopher changed his plans at the last minute), or that it was done by hand to intentionally kill his daughter.

In any case, Darya's murder marks a crossing of the red line in the Ukrainian conflict, with Kiev escalating its terror attacks to the point of targeting the relatives of civilians whom fake news falsely believed they were. were unofficially very influential policy makers, as they seem to have believed her father to be. The fact that she was killed, despite the fact that their presumed intended target unexpectedly decided to go home in another vehicle, indicates that the perpetrators decided to continue their plot to at least kill him and Moscow in a wider sense. send a message that they have decided to escalate their US-backed hybrid war against Russia.

Undeniably influenced by half a decade of fake news about that philosopher, this targeted assassination shows the deadly consequences of America's information warfare campaign. It also affirms that the declining unipolar hegemon's proxies in Kievare truly state sponsors of terrorism, and should be treated as such by the international community accordingly. This horrific terrorist attack threatens the legitimate rules-based order enshrined in the United Nations Charter, thus confirming that the US is deliberately sowing the seeds of chaos in a desperate last-ditch effort to tarnish Russian morale after the slow but steady advance of their troops during the past six months of their special military operation.

Tens of billions of dollars of US-led Western military equipment to Kiev have failed to shape the course of the conflict, which continues to lean toward an inevitable Russian victory, despite uncertainty about when that outcome will be officially announced. the opponents will be recognized. Only the losing side would resort to such acts of terror, as it clearly lacks the conventional means to turn events on the ground to its advantage. Thus, objective observers can conclude that NATO's US-led proxy war against Russia via Ukraine has failed to achieve its grand strategic goal of paralyzing that great power.

Interesting comments reported here. It seems many Russians are accusing the UK of doing this. (I have to say, it seems to me not impossible at all.)

[extracted]

Sergey Alekseevich, a source in law enforcement agencies, said that unknown people had installed an explosive device on the car during the festival. The car was in a public parking lot.

What should be the qualifications of a criminal to commit this sabotage?

Sergei Goncharov: - Judge for yourself. Open parking. Well, maybe one pensioner sits in a booth and guards 150-200 cars that came to the festival. If you think he sees something, he doesn't. Therefore, it is not difficult to approach Dugin's car and place an explosive device under the bottom or in the place chosen by the saboteur. Therefore, this issue does not require any special qualifications or special training.

- It turns out that the murder itself is high profile, but the performers are not professionals?

- Yes exactly. The murder is high-profile, and the perpetrators are at the level of a person who installed an explosive device issued to him for money. Or is it an agent who was recruited by the SBU of Ukraine. It can even be assumed that he was recruited from those citizens of Ukraine who are now working for us here. This man carried out this operation for a good financial reward. So, in my opinion, it’s ridiculous to talk about some kind of the highest qualification of a performer who was trained by the Americans or the British.

- Although the version about the British has already been voiced by a number of experts: that, they say, the Ukrainians “walk” under British intelligence, therefore the British prepared the assassination attempt.

- Once again I repeat: there was no need for the participation of the British in this operation. An ordinary person came up and among the 150 cars that are standing in a row, he put an explosive device on one of them. Got money for it. This ended his mission. And those who prepared the whole operation after that made a phone call that blew up this car. The British had nothing to do here.

Could this tragedy have been avoided?

- This is a question of a different order. Ukraine has changed tactics. Having big setbacks on the battlefield, it focuses on sabotage and terrorist acts that occur not only on the territory of the LPR and DPR, but also in Russia. Day after day, there are reports of people being killed or attempted to kill those who head pro-Russian administrations.

- And what do we - society and the state as a whole - need to do in this situation?
- We must be aware that, alas, there will be more and more sabotage by Ukraine every time. Therefore, in my opinion, it is necessary to create a unit that will deal only with these problems - working with agents, revealing facts and stopping possible problems. If this is not done, then neither the Ministry of Defense, nor the National Guard, nor the police of the DPR and LPR will be able to cope with this problem. There should be one large division that will work in this direction.

Those Ukrainians who are now in Russia in the regions - and this is almost 3 million people - if someone thinks that they are all 100% pro-Russian, they are not. And the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a large layer of agents that they will use.

If that were to be the case, it would mean that they've broken diplomatic "protocol". It could automatically turn into a open season style assassination frenzy. I do not think the West realizes that Russia and their allies, might have anticipated on this and have a serious amount of operatives in a lot of Western Countries ready to go.

Those Liberal Fascists keep on poking an already very angry Bear, Bear could go berserk soon, there's no outrunning that.

There's an interesting editorial page here reporting on what people are saying in Russia. This struck me in particular:

In the Ukrainian segment of social networks, and even some domestic liberals, the explosion of Alexander Dugin's car and the death of his daughter were greeted with rejoicing.

https://aif-ru.translate.goog/societ...n&_x_tr_pto=sc



What's being written on the net about the death of Daria Dugina?

Political scientists, TV presenters, like-minded people and political opponents of Dugin immediately reacted to the explosion of the car of the philosopher Alexander Dugin , in which his daughter Daria died (she was driving) instantly, at night.

Recall that the explosion occurred while driving along the Mozhaisk highway, near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy. The 29-year-old girl was alone with the car and died on the spot. Alexander Dugin performed at the Tradition festival with his daughter Daria. As the violinist Pyotr Lundstrem said , Alexander Dugin was supposed to return to Moscow with his daughter, but at the last moment circumstances changed and he drove in another car with friends.

Basically, everyone expresses condolences and wonders who was the target of the explosion. And the law enforcement officers no longer doubt that it was an attempted murder, and not an accidental tragedy.

“Investigators are seizing all records from the video recorders of cars that were in the parking lot next to Darya Dugina’s car. The main version of the security forces is an attempted murder, writes Ksenia Sobchak . - The final song of today's "Tradition" was the composition "Dark Night", where there are famous lines "Death is not terrible, we met with it more than once in the steppe, And now it is spinning over me."

The death of the young woman shocked everyone who knew her personally. Margarita Simonyan , Vladimir Solovyov and many other famous people TV personaities reacted to her death.

“On the evening of August 20, I met Daria Platonova and her father Alexander Dugin at the Tradition festival. From the very first seconds, we plunged into the discussion. They talked about the Russian Idea, the Empire and the cultural war, - musician Akim Apachev writes in TG . - Dasha has always connected the difficult to connect. She was always sharp and deep in her attitude. It was she who showed my songs to Alexander Gelevich, after which he will write the main review in my life: “Those who are against Apachev, against the Empire.”

Political scientist Marat Bashirov recalls that well-known journalist Pavel Sheremet was also blown up in Kiev in 2016. Only then the car did not catch fire, and he died "as a result of injuries incompatible with life and life-critical blood loss." “I remember that a few months ago the target of terrorists from Kyiv was Vladimir Solovyov. Then it worked out. Not today, the political scientist writes in his TG.

“But the conclusion to be drawn is simple: we are winning the ideological war, today feathers are equated with bayonets. Otherwise there would be no such choice of purpose. With all due respect, Dugin is unknown to most Russians and his death would not be a resonant event, but in expert circles he is a noticeable figure. It is precisely those who work on the Web today who want to scare, the struggle of ideas and meanings is waged here.”

The political scientist, writer and publicist Nikolai Starikov also regarded the tragedy as a political murder : “If you ask what “crossing the red line” is, I will answer. This is individual terror. The desire to kill Alexander Dugin, which ultimately led to the death of his daughter Daria. Terrorist Carthage must be destroyed!

In the Ukrainian segment of social networks, and even some domestic liberals, the explosion of Alexander Dugin's car and the death of his daughter were greeted with rejoicing. The vicious comments unpleasantly struck even the opponents of the girl's father. For example, journalist and opposition blogger Kirill Shulika. It is immediately stipulated that his attitude towards Dugin himself is understandable, but this reaction is beyond the limit.

“I will never understand how someone is trying or will try to somehow justify what happened, to find an explanation why it should be so or to tell that, well, these are enemies, that’s the only way with them. I actually think it's some kind of biological creatures. But in reality, these are also people, but I wouldn’t even call them compatriots, I don’t want to have anything in common with them, if they forget the Russian language, I’ll be glad. However, I note that, nevertheless, nature has managed to create such types of people who seem to be absolutely no different from each other, but in reality they have more differences than a jackal and a bear, ”the blogger writes. And the explosion itself, according to his assumption, proves that “someone clearly wants everything to continue and escalate.”

[Satori]

Once I learned more about Daria Dugina the thought keeps occurring to me: could she have been the target, not her father?

She struck me as a rising star in the arena of politics and the like.

It seems the fall out from this may also prove to be greater than it might have been if only her father had been killed. However, she would have been killed in any event if her father had also been in the car.

This is just a feeling and recurring thought I have.

From the Kremlin. This is a brief and cautious preliminary statement from Maria Zakharova, Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

She never pulls her punches, and she's certain to say more very soon.



https://t.me/MariaVladimirovnaZakharova/3510

The translation:

Russian law enforcement agencies are investigating the death of Daria Dugina.

If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed - and this version was voiced by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, and it must be verified by the competent authorities - then we should talk about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the Kyiv regime.

There have been plenty of facts accumulated over the years: from political calls for violence to the leadership and participation of Ukrainian state structures in crimes.

We are waiting for the results of the investigation.

[Bill Ryan]

My personal comment on all I've read so far:

The Russians have been careful and cautious about (a) the entire military operation, and (b) almost everything they formally say about it to anyone. So they'll be as measured and disciplined about their response as they have been about everything else. But when the response comes, it'll be decisive.
