(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 21 AGO - Daria Dugina, 30, a political commentator and daughter of Oleksandr Dugin-considered Putin's "ideologue"-died when her car exploded on the outskirts of Moscow. The incident occurred around 9:45 p.m. local time near the village of Velyki Vyazomi, about 20 kilometers west of the Russian capital. According to initial information, the woman was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado owned by her father on which there were no other passengers. After the deflagration - witnesses recounted - the car overturned and ran off the road. The charred (and unrecognizable) body of the victim was recovered by rescuers who arrived at the scene. In some videos - circulated online - Dugin can be seen in despair, with his hands in his hair, a few meters from the burning car. At the moment, the most likely hypothesis is that it was an assassination attempt: according to some sources, Dugin himself - busy in the evening at a conference on "Tradition and History" near Moscow (which was also attended by Daria Dugina as a guest) was supposed to be in the car with his daughter, a TV commentator, but eventually decided to travel in another car. Oleksandr Dugin, an adviser to several politicians, is a Russian philosopher known for his anti-Western, far-right and "neo-Eurasian" views. In recent years he has been referred to by Western media as one of the inspirers of Vladimir Putin's foreign policy, while the Russian press considers him a "marginal figure" because of his views "considered too radical even by nationalists." In 2014, Russia Today reports, he was fired from Moscow State University after his call to "kill, kill, kill" Ukrainians. Investigators in Moscow have opened a criminal investigation into the killing of Darya Dugina. The same investigators from the Russian capital's Investigative Department, who are also investigating the manner in which the attack was carried out, which endangered other people, said that, from initial findings, it appears likely that an explosive device had been "planted on the Toyota Land Cruiser." Several pro-Kremlin Russian leaders are accusing Kiev of commissioning the murder of Darya Dugina. The Guardian writes that. The leader of the self-proclaimed pro-Russian Donetsk Republic in Donbass, Denis Pushilin, on his Telegram account openly accused Ukraine: "Infamous cowards! Terrorists of the Ukrainian regime, in an attempt to eliminate Aleksandr Dugin blew up his daughter. She was a real Russian girl!" he wrote. But "Ukraine had nothing to do with the murder of Dugin's daughter," assures Mykhailo Podolyak, the top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, echoed by the Kiev Independent. "We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist state," Podolyak declares on national TV. "Darya Dugina," writes the Guardian, citing the British government's sanctions implementation office, was branded a "high-profile and frequent proponent of disinformation about Ukraine and the Russian invasion on various online platforms. She was also under sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department as the director of the United World International (Uwi) website, accused of disinformation, owned by Ievgeny Prigozhin, a close Putin ally. Aleksandr Dugin, the father, is believed to be fomenting the ultranationalist "Eurasian" ideology-branded as "Russian fascism"-that inspires Vladimir Putin's "imperialist" foreign policy and thus also the invasion of Ukraine. He has been under international sanctions since 2015 as an "ideologue" of Russia's annexation of Crimea. (ANSA).
