Did he switch cars because he thought he was in danger, and, if so, why did he leave his daughter in the car if he thought it was dangerous?
Some guys think they are untouchable.
He may not have had any worries about such an event.
This is going to hurt.
Some suggestions are going around on Telegram that Darya Dugina and her father had been guests of honour at some event and their home had been targeted; her father got out of her car and jumped into a different vehicle with a fellow Rashist philosopher. She carried on driving the first car.
If all of that is true, then the target clearly would’ve been a twofer - either people close to Dugin or aware of his movements that evening hedged their bets to hit the house AND the car.
For that reason, it’s already started to send the conspiracy theorists inside Russia into a frenzy. And they’re predictably tasteless. Even after you filter out the arguments over whether or not it was Ukraine wot did it, and how they should be punished.
A quick sample of what I’ve read in the context of this being a bit more close to home:
Isn’t it convenient that minutes after the switcheroo, the attractive one in the family’s in flames and the Rasputin 2 is not even singed?
If he thought his car was being targeted or was wired to blow, why not switch his daughter out as well?
What’s with Dugin’s theatrical Kevin McAllister impression on the on-scene video, and why is he looking at a fire engine? Are we even sure his daughter was in the car and this isn’t an elaborate setup?
Why is he not looking at the first responders, his daughter’s car, or his daughter (assuming the blurred thing in the video, behind him, and nowhere near the inferno of the car, is his daughter)? Is that fire engine interesting for a reason?
Something rather similar happened in the run-up to Chechnya Round 2...
There’s a lot of people in Russia with Ukrainian roots or conscripts in the Russian army who’ve lost people in this war that Dugin’s been a cheerleader for for over 25 years. Could be any of them.
And this one’s already doing the rounds...
“Dugin’s parked car was under active security prior to the car bomb detonating... Only Russian security services could have accessed the car while it was parked such as FSB, GRU, FSO, etc.”
Speculation that some faction inside the security services is sending messages out to the Rossiya 1 TV hawks, and anyone else getting too uppity, that if they keep talking up genocide they’re going to have heated seat retrofits in their cars, or visits to the Moscow sky via a seventh story window.
The Dugins were both feted for their brilliance in not just openly self-identifying as fascists wanting a restoration of the Russian empire, but also helping to define - very publicly - “what good looks like” in the context of the rape and genocide of the untermensch that is the people of Ukraine.
A new regime that is looking for a way to end the Special Military Operation, can’t afford to have people like that bending the ears of the Russian people or the military.
This incident could be the precursor to some internal battles inside the structures of power INSIDE Russia.
“She won’t stop seeing that bum, huh? Well, I’ll leave her in here with the car bomb.”
