Numerous images and videos of the place of the explosion circulate on Twitter. For some, Oleksandr Dugin himself was the target. The security forces are currently investigating the hypothesis of an attack.

According to the RT channel, it would be the same Russian ultranationalist philosopher and political scientist, the man with his hands in his hair that is seen in the video recorded at the scene of the explosion. Daria Dugina was 30 years old.

The same media indicates that the witnesses specified that the explosion occurred at 9:45 p.m. local time in the middle of the road and the debris jumped throughout the area.

After the explosion, the car crashed into a fence and was engulfed in flames there.

According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, which cites Russian sources, the two, who were returning from a public event, were supposed to travel in the same car, but Dugin decided, at the last minute, to get into another vehicle.

Police reports were not known in principle, nor was the origin of the explosion that ended the life of the woman.

On his Telegram channel, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denís Pushilin, ignited the controversy by arguing that behind the attack are “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime” who were trying to kill Dugin.

Daria was engaged in journalism, philosophy and political science, and in July 2022 she was placed on the UK sanctions lists against Russian personalities in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine.

Dugin is a philosopher who took up the tradition of Russian nationalism to support the presidency of Vladimir Putin; he elaborated a theory of international relations that warns about the growth potential of Eurasia in a multipolar world.

Dugin visited Argentina several times, where he presented his ideas at conferences, in which he questioned liberalism as a political philosophy, which he characterized as the expression of a new type of totalitarianism.
