The Russians accuse Kiev, but Putin's opponents could be responsible for the attack in which Darya Dugina, daughter of Alexander Dugin, one of the closest political allies of the "Tsar", was killed , so much so as to be defined as his ideologue.
Ilya Ponomarev, a former member of the Russian Duma expelled for anti-Kremlin activities, claims that the attack was the work of " the National Republican Army ", a group of Russian partisans. “This attack - he says - opens a new page in the Russian resistance to Putinism. New, but not the last ".
In a manifesto of the partisan group in question, Putin is defined as "a usurper of power and a war criminal who will be deposed". In the same document Dugina is described as a " legitimate target, because she is a faithful companion of the father who supported the genocide in Ukraine".
Moscow is currently following "all leads" and investigators are not unbalanced, but pro-Russian sources and government media have already pointed the finger at Kiev . They are also convinced that the real target of the attack was Dugin and not his daughter, a 29-year-old journalist and political analyst working on the front line to defend the invasion of Ukraine. Putin's ideologue in fact should have been in that car, blown up by 400 grams of TNT placed under the driver's seat and remotely controlled.
Ukraine immediately rejected the allegations. " We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and certainly not a terrorist state ," said Mikhailo Podolyak, chief adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Charges against Kiev were also launched by Russian media commentators near the Kremlin, some of whom had worked with Dugina. "The attack was almost certainly organized by the Ukrainian special services, but there is no doubt that they acted on instructions and in the interest of the Anglo-Saxon agencies ", denounced in a speech in the Ria Novosti agency the columnist Piotr Akopov.
