This assassination/apparent assassination attempt against Alex Dugin clearly came from within Russia. Is it a warning? Alex Dugin’s daughter was driving her father’s vehicle. Was it a warning to Putin himself? Was it a warning by Putin to Dugin (or others)? Was it an attempted assassination of Alex Dugin by disgruntled elements within the Russian government, such as the intelligence services-military and/or the Russian mafia, who are fed up by Dugin’s alleged influence and by the war in Ukraine? Was it a false flag attack by Putin to increase support for attacks on Ukraine?

Russia’s war in Ukraine looks highly detrimental to the interests of Russia’s oligarchs, who are a modern day nobility. Rasputin, to whom Dugin has been compared, was killed by members of the Russian nobility who were fed up with his influence on the Russian Tsar and Tsarina, especially in the context of World War I.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is detrimental to the Russian population and especially to those in the Russian military, or with family in the military.

From a cost-benefit analysis Russia’s war on Ukraine simply makes no sense for Russia.

Only for crazed ideologues, and their followers, does the war on Ukraine make sense.

Excerpts from: “Ex-Russian MP claims Russian partisans responsible for Moscow car bomb: Speaking in Kyiv, Ilya Ponomarev alleges bomb that killed daughter of Putin ally was work of underground group” By Luke Harding [1] Sun 21 Aug 2022 18.54 BST, The Guardian

A former member of Russia’s Duma who was expelled for anti-Kremlin activities has claimed that Russian partisans were allegedly behind a car bomb which blew up the daughter of one of Vladimir Putin’s close political allies on the outskirts of Moscow.

Speaking in Kyiv [2], where he is based, Ilya Ponomarev [3] alleged the explosion on Saturday evening was the work of the National Republican Army, which he claimed was an underground group working inside Russia and dedicated to overthrowing the Putin regime…

“This action, like many other partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),” Ponomarev said…

He added: “A momentous event took place near Moscow last night. This attack opens a new page in Russian resistance to Putinism. New – but not the last.”

The blast killed Darya Dugina [4], the 30-year-old daughter of the Russian political commentator and far-right ideologue Alexander Dugin [5] …

Ponomarev said partisans inside Russia were ready to conduct further similar attacks against high-profile Kremlin-connected targets, including officials, oligarchs and members of Russia’s security agencies.

The former deputy read what purported to be an NRA manifesto: “We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death.

“Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others – the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to rebel against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!”

Ponomarev … was the only deputy to vote in 2014 against the annexation of Crimea.

Kremlin barred him … from re-entering his own country[6]. He became a Ukrainian citizen in 2019. In March, after the invasion of Ukraine, he launched February Morning and Rozpartisan, a Telegram channel which gives news updates of anti-war actions in Russian towns and cities…

His claim there is an active indigenous underground movement seeking to assassinate prominent supporters of the war inside Russia would, if true, mark a dramatic escalation…

The alleged manifesto declared that the Russian government and regional administrations are Putin’s “accomplices”.

“Those who do not resign their power will be destroyed by us,” it said.

Other targets include corrupt businessmen, the homes and properties of those who fail to condemn the Kremlin and its war, and “employees of power structures”. Military cargoes and people who profit from them will also be wiped out, it said.

The statement promised the NRA would not target civilians. It described Daria Dugina as a legitimate target and “faithful companion” to her father, who supported genocide in Ukraine. “She was a voice calling for violence and murder” in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, it stated
