Possible assassination miss tonight on Aleksandr Dugin, one of Russia’s most prominent ideologues (hat tip to
@Humphrey Bogart who has written about him here previously). Dugin has basically been calling for Ukraine as a nationality to be wiped out for quite some ears now and is widely viewed as very influential on Putin.
Dugin’s daughter Darya was killed when her car exploded in Moscow oblast tonight. Apparently quite the piece of work herself; the Apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. ThereMs speculation Dugin was to have ridden home with her from an event, but took a different car.
Couple different ways fingers could point here- could be a straightforward Ukrainian hit on someone calling for their elimination. Could be orchestrated by Putin in revenge for being led down a bad path. I can’t gauge likelihood. Either way this will reverberate.
