Car Bomb Kills Daughter of Putin Ally in Moscow; Ukraine Denies Involvement

HeadlineAug 22, 2022

A prominent Russian journalist died in a car bombing outside of Moscow on Saturday. Darya Dugina is the daughter of the ultranationalist Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many believe Alexander Dugin was the intended target of the attack. Both he and his daughter had been at a cultural festival prior to the blast, but they left in separate cars. Both Alexander Dugin and his daughter were vocal supporters of Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine six months ago. The Ukrainian government has denied any involvement in the car bombing.
