The daughter of the ideologist Alexandre Douguine was killed on Saturday evening in a bomb car attack which probably aimed at the theorist of the “great Russia”, reputed to be close to the Kremlin.

More than twenty-four hours after the assassination of the daughter of her main ideologist, Vladimir Putin has still not reacted. The Russian president, who never likes to comment hot, is under pressure. Daria Douguina, 30, daughter of Alexandre Douguine, 60, ultra -nationalist theorist often presented as the brain behind the launch of “the special military operation” in Ukraine on February 24, died on Saturday August 20, in a car bomb attack.
Both had participated earlier in the day in “Tradition”, a political and cultural festival in the big suburbs of Moscow where, in the middle of the public, some conservative figures were invited. Father and daughter had to return together. But, at the last moment, deciding to go aboard another vehicle, Alexandre Douguine would have entrusted his car to Daria Douguina. A few minutes later, the Toyota Land Cruiser exploded. The young woman died instantly. Images showed his father coming to the scene, hands on his face in front of the flames.
No suspect has been identified and no one claimed the attack. It seems likely that the attack was aimed at Alexandre Douguine and not his daughter. “Everything suggests that the crime was planned in advance and that it has been the subject of a contract,” assures the committee responsible for the main criminal investigations; He confirmed that an explosive device had been placed on the driver’s side under the car floor, left for several hours unattended in the festival parking lot. Relatives assure that Mr. Douguine and his daughter had recently received threats but that they did not feel insecure. Investigators say they do not spread any track at this stage. An investigation for murder has been opened.
Journalist and political scientist, regularly using a pseudonym, Daria Douguina had just written an article on military subjects after an army forum which, last week, was held in the presence of Vladimir Putin. She wrote in particular that the events of Boutcha – north of kyiv – in February -March – the locality had been occupied for a month by the Russian troops before being released by the Ukrainian forces – were “a dramatization with corpses people pretending to be victims “. A version defended by Moscow, disputed by Ukraine and Westerners.
kyiv denies any involvement
The young woman, who had been placed since July by London in the list of individual sanctions for participation in “disinformation on Ukraine”, said regularly in the pro-Kremlin media to criticize the West and support the Russian offensive. She considered that it was a “conflict of civilizations”. Daria Douguina also concluded one of his recent writings by taking up the rhetoric of the Kremlin: “Fascism has captivated the whole West. Russia is an island of freedom.”
