Botched Car Bombing in Moscow Could Have Major Implications in Ukraine Conflict – Opinion

Darya Dugina Dugina, Darya Dugin’s daughter, was killed in a car explosion that occurred Saturday night in Moscow. Multiple news outlets shared video of the event, showing the car in flames as well as Dugin looking distraught while standing on the street.

This is significant because Dugin is considered a major player in pushing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, serving as a sort of new-world spiritual guide to Vladimir Putin. He’s been referred to as “Putin’s brain” in the past.

Dugin is assumed to have set the car-bombing off for his daughter, who ended up accidentally being at the center of it all. She was actually driving his Toyota Land Cruiser. There are many ways this could go, but none of them is particularly great.

This could be a more isolated act by a subset of Russian mob culture. Dugin is obviously involved in a lot of shady stuff, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if internal forces tried to take him out.

Another, and far more serious possibility, is the fact that it was done by someone who worked for or sympathized with the Ukrainians. If there is any evidence provided of that, it’s going to be a major flashpoint that could cause a severe escalation in the war currently going on in Eastern Europe. Given Dugin’s role in that war, it would make sense that he would be a target.

This could mean that although this may have been a small-scale event, the Russian government uses it to justify its aggression of Ukraine. No matter what the facts actually say here or who is actually behind the bombing, that’s probably exactly what will happen.
