The daughter of a close ally of Russia's President Vladimir Putin has been killed in a suspected car bombing.
Darya Dugina, 29, died after an explosion on a road outside Moscow, Russia's investigative committee said.
It is thought her father, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who is known as “Putin's brain”, may have been the intended target of the attack.
Mr Dugin is a prominent ultra-nationalist ideologue who is believed to be close to the Russian president.
Alexander Dugin and his daughter had been at a festival near Moscow, where the philosopher gave a lecture.
The “Tradition” festival describes itself as a family event for art lovers which takes place at the Zakharovo estate, where Russian poet Alexander Pushkin once stayed.
The pair were due to leave the venue on Saturday evening in the same car, before Mr Dugin reportedly made a decision at the last minute to travel separately.

Many theories about this will be published.
Interesting from Sergej Sumlenny
THREAD Regarding the question “who could stay behind Darya Dugina’s death”. We need to separate many topics here.
1) Dugina was a devoted and important Nazi propagandist and a party member, but WAY far from being a star in Russia. In Ukraine or else she wasn’t known at all;
Her father Alexandr was way more famous. But he was not as important as he wanted us to believe. His ideas were taken, stolen, appropriated, used by the Kremlin, but he personally was never allowed to belong to Kremlin’s inner circle. He was always a 3rd class starlet;
3) Ok, who was the target - he or she? The car was registered on the father’s name, and he was intended to drive it, as some of his friends said. It can be, he was targeted (as anyway he was more prominent). The only way she was targeted is, when HE planned the murder;
3.1) Let me elaborate on this. It is not as weird as one can think. Dugin was a philosopher of the cult of death and sacrifice. He always said, that the death experience is the most important one. He was a Death Eater. In his “Eurasist” ideology a mighty Father sacrificing.
3.2) ...his daughter’s life could really be something titanic, bringing supernatural powers into movement, and improving his (weakend) position. Be like a legendary King. Still, this is only one of the ideas. I just want to say, it is not unthinkable. What do we have further?
Russian FSB or other Kremlin groups. I would say, it is the most realistic version. Here 2 very opposite motives can be in place:
4.1) Intensifying the war via playing the card “Ukrainians are killing us in Moscow!”
4.2) Exit strategy sending signals to the hawks “shut up”
4.3) I know, that these motives oppose each other. This should not surprise you. There can be different ideas within the FSB leadership, and different orders can be given. One can imagine, that some groups want to intensify the war, and others want to look for exit strategies
4.3.1.) Dugin can be targeted by both groups - as it is not important that he was targeted (and killed in the successful scenario), but what informational campaign follows. “We must fight back!” or “Look what insanity Dugin brought to us”
5) Could the Ukrainian commandos stay behind this attack? I doubt it. Dugin was not the most prominent Russian propagandist. He was not the face of Russian aggression for Ukrainians. Skabeyeva, Solovyov, Tolstoy, Kiselyov, Simonyan - anyone would be a more logical target.
) And of course, one should not forget the cannibalizing tendencies within the far-right Russian groups. Could Dugin be hatred by somebody here? Sure. Do these people know how to install bombs? Oh yes, many of them fought in Ukraine. This motive cannot be ignored.
7) Anyway, for practical means, it is important to see, how the Kremlin will use this news. Even if it was not Kremlin, they will start to use this explosion. An attack in luxury Odintsovo district, where all the Ministers and Putin himself have their villas, will be used
7.1.) We will witness very soon, what prof it Kremlin (but also other far-rights) will try to get out of the death of the Nazi Darya Dugina.
in his April 2020 article, Alexandr Dugin clearly wrote, that parts of the elite should be groomed with one purpose - to be killed (sacrificed) amid challenging times, so the society could magically buy back the lost support of the Gods. Does it give us any call?
On his esotheric far-right esotericweb-page “Arctogaea” Alexandr Dugin literally had a huge article about the ancient mystical tradition to sacrifice children, including a case of a father sacrificing his daughter’s life: : http://arcto.ru/article/1655

A funny thing. I was asked today by a respectful media if I could comment on the Dugina’s death. I agreed, and mentioned that there is a small like 20% chance Dugin himself stays behind it, as he is an esoteric psycho. The person was clearly scared, the interview was canceled :)
And yes, I was asked, if Ukrainians or (!) Russian opposition (!!!) stays behind the attack. I said: clearly no. My guess: 80% FSB, 20% Dugin, some few chances Dugin’s party internal enemies. “What party?”the person asked. I had to explain, Dugin stays on the top of his movement.
Too many people in the West really cannot get it, that Russian elites massively believe in esoteric things, secret power artifacts, reptiloids, mind reading etc As I mentioned the Dugin’s occult ideas, she was really visibly scared, as if it was me who started the Flat Earth Talk

If some “National Republican Army has killed Darya Dugina, I was totally wrong in all my judgement about who and how are organized in Russia regarding possible terror attacks. I do not remember any anti-Putin guerrilla except of “Primorye partisans”. I will wait for facts and
will say “mea maxima culpa” if I get proven wrong. But now I still stick to my primary version: FSB (although not clear what faction and why. Maybe those who want intensify the war, maybe those who want to scare the hawks, maybe those who want to start a witch hunt. Who knows)

Russia blames Darya Dugina’s killing on female Ukrainian assassin
Russia accuses Ukraine of killing nationalist's daughter, Putin gives her award
Russia blames Darya Dugina’s killing on female Ukrainian assassin
Did Kyiv really send a mother in a Mini to kill 'Rasputin's girl'? That's what Russia says
Etc, etc...
According to the Russians, the perpetrator is, Ukrainian, female, from Mariupol, Azov battalion, and now in Estonia. This sounds like all the other Russian propaganda and vranyo since the invasion began.
The fact that they found the politically ideal perpetrator so quickly, who's actions and current location justifies other actions, lends credence to the idea that Dugin's assassination was from within, not outside Russia.
