Darya Dugina: Daughter of Putin close ally killed in Moscow bomb - report
BBC News ^ | 08/20/2022 | Leo Sands

Posted on 08/20/2022 8:02:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The daughter of a close ally to Russia's President Vladimir Putin has reportedly been killed near Moscow.

According to state media, Darya Dugina died after her car exploded in flames while she was travelling home.

It is not clear if her father, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin who is known as "Putin's brain," was the intended target of an attack.

Mr Dugin is a prominent ultra-nationalist ideologue who is believed to be close to the Russian president.

According to Russian media outlet 112, the pair were due to travel back from an event on Saturday evening in the same car before Mr Dugin made the decision to travel separately from his daughter at the last minute.

Unverified footage posted on Telegram appears to show Mr Dugin watching in shock as emergency services arrive at the scene of the burning wreck of a vehicle.

The BBC has not been able to verify the footage independently.

There has been no official comment from Russian authorities so far.

Despite not holding an official position in government, Ms Dugina's father is a close ally of the Russian president and has even been branded "Putin's Rasputin".

The philosopher's daughter, Darya Dugina, was herself a prominent journalist and commentator who supported the Russian invasion.

Does your idiocy know no end and your decency know no beginning? Do you even know what “bolshevik” means? Here’s a clue: it translates as “majority”. Dugin’s “bolshevism” has nothing to do with the “bolshevism” of, say, Lenin. So, what does Dugin think? Here’s an excerpt from a Huffpo article to help you out:

“In Russia, there is a man named Aleksandr Dugin. Mr. Dugin is a political theorist and “philosopher,” and rather unusual man, with some very unusual ideas, influenced by weird myths and fascist philosophers from the early 1900s. For example, he believes in a mythology that tens of thousands of years ago there were two ancient civilizations, one called Atlantis, and one called Hyperborea. (Scientifically, these never existed, they are just myths.)

Mr. Dugin believes that the values of Atlantis were individualism, human rights, reason, science, cooperation, and order, and ultimately, things fundamentally grounded in an earthly existence, whereas the Hyperboreans had access to divine knowledge and a mysticism beyond the limits of this mere planet. Dugin believes that Atlantis and Hyperborea were engaged in an ancient war over their totally different value sets and that this war continues to this day. In today’s geography, Dugin associates the modern day Atlantean societies as the United States and those countries under its influence, and he associates Hyperborean society as being led today by Russia, and including Asian countries in touch with spiritualism, like Iran and India.

Dugin believes that it is the ultimate theological destiny of Russia to lead modern day Hyperborean societies — including not only Russia, but all of Eurasia, from Korea to India to Portugal — away from a corrupt earthly existence and back to the pure, divine spiritual knowledge of the original Hyperboreans, resulting in the end of our world and the transformation of humanity to a divine existence. (Yes, you read that right — he wants Russia to bring about the end of the world, in pursuit of the spiritual transformation of all of society).”

Does that sound anything like a version of Marxism to you? If you think so, you know nothing of Marx. Dugin is a mystical kook, and he has no serious influence in Russia (he no more influences Putin than Billy Graham influenced Richard Nixon). His books are read in some universities, but many, many books are read in philosophy classes. Neither Dugin nor his daughter have any ability to “destroy America”, and if you think harboring hostile thoughts against the USA merits being murdered, you are a headcase.

I dunno. Losing the daughter might be as hard a hit as taking out the father. He might be messed up over it and too distraught to be of use to Putin.

Putin’s driver was killed in a head-on collision tears ago. I want to think it was around the time of Russia’s seizure of Crimea. There was speculation back then that it might either have been a mis-timed assassination attempt or a warning that he could be next.

I wonder: will there be any repurcussions? What might they be?

Why do folks feel the need to mention what has happened in the United States when something happens in Russia?

We admire Russia defending their borders, Christianity, and restricting LGBTQI Insanity. We also hate the NWO Globohomo socialist movement and everything it stands for.

“ Does wanting America to be Great Again mean we have to invade some country?”

That was the Bush philosophy !

Thanks Jan.

Doesn’t answer my question.

It merely addresses your love of Russia over the U. S.

That’s an intelligent observation. My candidate for the car bombers is the FSB, who might want to steer Putin in a different direction.

Dugin’s punishment is to live to see the horrible results of his recommendations.

The head-on collision happened in September 2016. Almost six years ago.

Starting a war has consequences. Invading a sovereign country has catastrophic consequences

See Dugin’s reaction!

It appears this is shot almost right after the explosion occurred. Odd that someone is sitting in their car watching, and filming, instead of helping - isn’t it? pic.twitter.com/QA0OWVfvcI— Jason Jay Smart (@officejjsmart) August 20, 2022

I guess you don’t like my answer. Understandable. The truth is if the NWO is unopposed they will exterminate us conservatives in the US. Have you been listening to their rhetoric lately? As long as there is a multipolar world, they need us (in a sense). Once they have hegemony...bets are off. I don’t like Russia any more than corrupt Ukraine (although I agree with them protecting children.). My central Ukrainian relatives don’t even trust Ukraine. I had to pay off a policeman $100 extortion money just to get out of the country!? Though I am sympathetic to Eastern/Southern Ukraine’s independence movement…

You think Russia invaded the sovereign Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk?

No Jan, it didn’t answer my question.

It merely addressed your love of Russia over the U. S.

Your responses to my question made it clear you think Russia
is on the superior track to United States, so the
observation holds to the reality of your own comments.

Russia IS NOT your friend. It is joined by an interesting
number of nations who are also not your friend.

China, North Korea, Iran, the Arabs on the West Bank and
Gaza, are not your friends. Neither is Syria which allows
Iran to supply terrorists in Southern Lebanon with
weapons.

These days, it is not at all unusual that people video tragedies on their phones instead of helping the victims. Beat-downs and killings in fast-food places and on city streets happen weekly and people either record it or ignore it rather than get involved—even instead of calling 9-1-1!

In that video the killing was done, the car was an unapproachable confligration, and the services had just arrived to take care of it. There was little anyone could do.
