MOSCOW: Russia’s FSB security services said today that Ukraine was behind a car bombing in the outskirts of Moscow that killed the daughter of hardline Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin.
Dugin – an outspoken ultranationalist intellectual and a vocal supporter of the Kremlin’s offensive in Ukraine – is thought to have been the likely target of the attack.
“The crime was prepared and committed by Ukrainian special services,” the FSB said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.
It added that the perpetrator – a female Ukrainian citizen born in 1979 –fled to EU member Estonia yesterday.
Daria Dugina was killed Saturday when a bomb placed in a Toyota Land Cruiser went off as she drove on a highway some 40km outside Moscow.
According to the FSB statement, the attacker arrived in Russia in July 2022 with her underage daughter and rented an apartment in the same building where Dugina lived.
The FSB said the attacker was at a festival outside Moscow that Dugin and his daughter attended on Saturday.
Reports from Russian media suggested Dugina borrowed her father’s car at the last minute.
Dugin, 60, sometimes called “Putin’s Rasputin” or “Putin’s brain”, is an outspoken Russian ultranationalist intellectual.
He has long advocated the unification of Russian-speaking territories in a vast new Russian empire and wholeheartedly supported Moscow’s operation in Ukraine.
He was put on a western sanctions list after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, a move he also backed.
A Ukrainian presidential adviser, Mykhaylo Podolyak, yesterday denied that Kyiv authorities were behind the bombing.
