Alexander Dugin, whose daughter was assassinated, has long been calling for the annihilation of Ukraine.
Moscow. When the man talks, he usually sounds confused. The sentences come out of the mouth as if he had woven together unrelated words; as if he wanted to play with them, in his own way. He doesn’t seem to care regarding the audience. On this day, however, Alexander Dugin speaks surprisingly clearly. His daughter Darja lies to his right in an open coffin. She blew up a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow last Saturday evening, and the 29-year-old died immediately. Father and daughter had just been to a conservative festival and apparently they should have gotten into the car together. Alexander Dugin decided differently.
It is an assassination that some Russian observers are calling a caesura. At his daughter’s funeral, Dugin called for tougher action once morest those in power in Ukraine. For the 60-year-old, there has been no other way out than war for years. Russia’s secret service FSB had already presented its official version of a Ukrainian “saboteur” and her daughter as the perpetrators of the attack a day and a half following the bloody crime. A version with many inconsistencies. The message is clear, however, and it is being diligently spread by Russian propagandists: Ukraine should be wiped out because she so cruelly killed the “wonderful, bright girl”, the “brave patriot”, the “heroine of our time”.
