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.

As a father of three children I find your attitude disgusting.

You'll get over it.

We admire Russia defending their borders...

Did Ukraine invade Russia?

BTW, your post is ironic considering your screen name. How would King Sobieski react to Putin invading Ukraine if he was alive today, considering that Ukraine was part of his domain at the time?

The primary reason Russia invaded Ukraine is for control of resources

Yep, and also control of the Black Sea and a stranglehold on European energy supplies.

“RE: She wanted to make Russia Great Again and we can’t have that

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

??? Ummm - what you talkin’ about, Willis? I guess some folks have TDS and others have PDS (Putin Derangement Syndrome)

...in the horrible death of an essentially innocent young woman.

She wasn't that "innocent."

Darya Dugina: Daughter of Putin ally killed in Moscow blast

And doesn't this strike you as a bit odd?

The pair were due to travel back from the event on Saturday evening in the same car before Mr Dugin reportedly made a decision at the last minute to travel separately from his daughter.

To: Timber Rattler; All

You apparently belong to the Humpty Dumpty school of semantics. Yes, it matters what someone means when he uses a word. I suppose that you think that since both Jefferson and Obama used the word “democracy” they meant the same thing. As for Dugin, I pointed out that he is a mystical kook. He can proclaim he is a ham sandwich for all I care. You, however, seem to believe that because Dugin is “guilty” of “wrong think” (in this case, hating the USA), we should somehow be happy that his daughter was murdered. Do you have homicidal thoughts towards the many, many totalitarians (aka “progressives”) in our university faculties? If you are a troll, you certainly don’t, but I would like to see them all unemployed.

Telling a worm that they are a worm has never bothered me.

So, Comrade Achilles, a self-proclaimed Bolshevik is *NOT* actually a Bolshevik? Is that what you’re claiming?

Well…truth makes one free.

I support the independence movement of Luhansk and Donetsk. When their elected president was overthrown in a violent Revolution, disenfranchised voters seceded. Their friend Russia is helping.

There have been no Bolsheviks in Russia since 1992. They came here to the US and they are teaching our children in public schools.

Uh, Viktor Yanukovych fled his job in the middle of the night, and was voted out of office by the Ukrainian Parliament by 328 of 447, representing 73% of the membership.

Putin: Russia helped Yanukovych to flee Ukraine

So Yanukovych took the ride, and left the ammunition.

I wrote what I claimed, and you either lack reading comprehension skills or are intellectually dishonest. I’m inclined to vote for the latter.

The vote happened AFTER the Revolution without the votes of the seceding Oblasts. BTW…Democracies do not have Revolutions.

to see me disgusted by the sight of a person REVELING in the horrible death of an essentially innocent young woman

oh, now you're concerned about innocent people being killed?

cuz we missed any posts from you where you show your "disgust" at any of the innocent Ukrainians killed by Putin's bombing, missile strikes, artillery barrages, etc.

could you point out those posts where you're disgusted by that please?

No, just speculation on my part. But somebody planted that bomb.
