Russia accuses Ukraine of murdering Daria Dugina

Oleksandr Dugin is known as a conservative philosopher and publicist, one of the propagandists of the ideology of “Russian world” and neo-Eurasianism, concepts that proclaim Russia’s dominance over its neighbors, its opposition to the USA and NATO, and the expansion of Russian influence. on the territory of the Eurasian continent.

For many years, Dugin urged Moscow to assert itself more aggressively on the world stage. Since 2014, Dugin has been on the sanctions lists of the EU, and since 2015 – on the sanctions lists of the USA and Canada for his alleged involvement in the annexation of Crimea by Russia. His daughter, who shared his views, was also put on Western sanctions lists.

The death of Daria Dugina has shaken Russia, awakening painful memories of the numerous murders that bloodied the turbulent period after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

She also thwarted the attempts of the pro-Kremlin Russian government and mass media, which are trying to convince that the attack on Ukraine does not have negative consequences for the Russian population.

The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia on Monday accused the Ukrainian special services of organizing an assassination attempt on Daria Dugin. Ukraine denies this.

“Ukraine has absolutely nothing to do with yesterday’s attack, because we are not a criminal state like the Russian Federation, let alone a terrorist state,” presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak told Ukrainian television.

Instead, Podolyak assessed that Russia had begun to “disintegrate internally” and that several political groups were beginning to oppose each other in the struggle for power.
