Who Really Detonated the Car Bomb That Killed Darya Dugina, Putin’s Brain’s Child? (Archived)

Darya Dugina, the 29-year-old daughter of Alexander Dugin, often called “Putin’s Brain,” died when the car she was traveling in Saturday evening exploded. Sources have said a remote-controlled device was used to detonate a device affixed to the car’s frame and that it had likely been intended for the father, who changed cars at the last minute as the two traveled to Moscow from a cultural festival they attended together. Alexander Dugin was instead in a car behind his daughter when her car blew up, witnessing the devastating explosion.

On Monday, a former Russian Duma member—the only one to vote against the annexation of Crimea, which landed him an expulsion—instead claimed that the National Republican Army of Russian partisans were behind the attack. Ilya Ponomarev, who lives in Kyiv after being expelled from Russia, said in a broadcast on Telegram that anti-Putin forces were behind it.

The bombing comes just days before Ukraine’s national independence day on Aug. 24. Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky warned Sunday evening that Russia might do something “particularly ugly” in the leadup to the day.

Seems like the National Republican Army is either made up or recently started. Yesterday, I searched for it, on Wikipedia, and the National Republican Party of the Italian Social Republic only came up. Today, Wikipedia has a Russian one, with the headline that it’s slated to be deleted. The Italian one now links to the Russian one, as well. If it was just started, it seems like it may be associated with Alexei Navalny, who’s been accused of being a CIA/MI6 asset. I’ll try to look into Ilya Ponomarev, later.

Initially, the expression “beautiful Russia of the future” was used by a Russian politician Alexei Navalny, when he spoke about the changes that he intends to carry out if he comes to power. Alexey also tried to register a party called “Russia of the future “
