If we stick to information from the FSB, it was indeed Daria Douguina who was targeted by the car bomb attack that killed her on the spot, on August 20, near Moscow, and not her father, the very influential Russian philosopher and political scientist Alexander Dugin, as has been advanced by most commentators because of doubts about who, father or daughter, was supposed to drive the car in question.
Naturally not possessing the intellectual aura of her father, the 29-year-old young woman, also a philosopher, but above all active as a journalist and war correspondent in the Donbass for ultra-conservative Russian publications such as Tsargrad et Star, was a fervent follower of her father’s thought. In this capacity, she was also editor-in-chief of the English-language site United World International, whose vocation is to fight the domination of the West in the world, which earned her to find herself on the list of people sanctioned by the States. States, according to Moskovski Komsomolets.
The tabloid also points out that as a great supporter of “Russian special military operation in Ukraine” she was also placed under sanctions by the United Kingdom, which considered her “a known private author who leaks disinformation regarding Ukraine on various digital platforms”. Or as a person “supporting a policy or actions that destabilize Ukraine, destroy or threaten its territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence”.
Finally, the Russian daily recalls that she was also a political commentator within the World Eurasian Movement, founded by her father (to see further). She was also a Francophile and a specialist in French politics.
The Daily Online Gazeta.ru relayed the first public declaration of Alexandre Douguine after the death of his daughter: “She was a beautiful girl, orthodox, patriotic, war correspondent, expert and philosopher… The enemies of Russia killed her in a despicable and cowardly way… They wanted to crush our resolve by using terror against the best and the most vulnerable among us. But they will not reach their goal. Our hearts not only burn with revenge, that would be too petty and not Russian. What we want is only victory
