Russian state media has reported that Alexander Dugin’s daughter was killed by a car bomb near Moscow. Foreign media has not yet verified the claims. Dugin has been referred to as Vladimir Putin’s “brain” in the past.
The daughter of far-right Putin ally Alexander Dugin has reportedly been killed by a car bomb near Moscow overnight.
Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency reported that Darya Dugina died after her car exploded. The reports have not been confirmed by foreign media.
“This was the father’s vehicle. Darya was driving another car but she took his car today, while Alexander went in a different way,” Andrey Krasnov, Dugin’s friend and the head of the Russian Horizon social movement, told TASS.
“He returned, he was at the site of the tragedy. As far as I understand, Alexander or probably they together were the target.”
Alexander Dugin is an ultra-nationalist political philosopher who is seen as a key architect behind the current worldview of top Kremlin lawmakers.
