17h21 : Bonjour @John et @isaaccording to Nicolas Tenzer, teacher at Sciences Po and specialist in international issues, interviewed by franceinfo, “It is certainly not Ukraine that committed this attack, any more than foreign services”. “It’s totally impossible. Are these different currents within the security services? Are these mafia groups? We have to wait to see it, even if we cannot really consider that the investigation carried out by the Russian services will be completely reliable”, he assures. It is therefore unfortunately very difficult to provide a precise answer to your questions, I am sorry.
17h20 : Hello, is the Ukrainian hypothesis in this assassination realistic? Isn’t this a way for Russia to hide a possible radicalization of Russian anti-Putin activists?
17h20 : Can we reasonably think that Ukraine would really risk this kind of act which could de-legitimize its position of being attacked in the eyes of international opinion? And, what is more, in Russian territory. It does not make sense.
17h13 : “No, he’s not really close. Firstly, because Alexandre Douguine is so ultra that he’s infrequent, even for someone like Vladimir Putin.”
The daughter of Russian ultra-nationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin, Daria Dugina, was killed last night in the explosion of her car in the Moscow region. Alexander Dugin is “very favorable to the war in Ukraine”asserts to franceinfo Nicolas Tenzer who adds that Vladimir Putin has taken over “a certain number of his theories, in particular this famous Eurasianism which would consist in creating a Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok”.
15h37 : Alexandre Douguine, whose daughter was killed yesterday in the explosion of the car she was driving, “is so ultra that it is infrequent, even for someone like Vladimir Putin” who still has “taken up a number of his theories”advances on franceinfo the teacher at Sciences Po and specialist in international issues, Nicolas Tenzer.
14h51 : Bonjour @David, You are quite right. You will also see that nowhere do we state the opposite, and we use two keywords: #RUSSIA and #UKRAINE. On the other hand, Russia named Ukraine as likely responsible, and Ukraine defended itself against it. Both father and daughter were also strong supporters of the war in Ukraine. The subject of the Russian invasion therefore invites itself into the investigation, even if for the moment no link has been established.
14h45 : Hello. Why put the “” concerning the murder at the car bomb in Moscow? At present, there is nothing to link this murder to Ukraine. It could be a settling of scores against the father… right? Thanks !
14h19 : In Ukraine, Kharkiv, the second city of the country, knows no respite from the Russian bombardments. Despite the danger and the stalemate of the war, some residents refuse to leave their neighborhood. France Télévisions met some of them.
13h43 : Here are the contents not to be missed on our site:

13:11 : The attack that killed the Russian journalist Daria Douguine, yesterday, was actually his father, Alexander Dougin, an ultra-nationalist ideologue, say Russian investigators. Was it his support for the offensive in Ukraine that motivated the perpetrator? Or his claimed proximity to Vladimir Putin? Investigators are not favoring any leads at this time.
12h56 : The Odessa region was also targeted by five Russian Kalibr-type cruise missiles launched from the Black Sea, said the spokesman of the regional administration. Two were shot down by anti-aircraft defense and three others hit a silo with no casualties.

The pro-kyiv governor of the Donetsk region, Pavlo Kyrylenko, reported four civilians killed and two others injured the day before by Russians. In the Kharkiv region, a woman has been killed and two other civilians have been injured since last night in Russian shelling, according to the regional prosecutor’s office.

The police have opened an investigation to establish the cause of his death.
12h52 : Hello, Daria Douguine indeed shared the ultra-nationalist ideas of her father. This journalist and political scientist supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine and was subject to sanctions by the American government. She had also participated in a press trip to the Donbass organized by the Russian army in June, learned the office of France Télévisions in Moscow. A party of activists from the French far right pays tribute to her today, and in particular republishes a snapshot where we see her posing with Marion Maréchal, in 2013 in Paris.
11:52 : Daria Douguine, who collaborated with Alain SORAL and the French ultra-right, seems to have been just as extremist as her father, from whom she obviously took over, right?
11h49 : Bonjour @Tinithe spokeswoman for Russian diplomacy, Maria Zakharova, reacted on Telegram, already pointing to Ukraine. “If the Ukrainian track is confirmed (…) and it must be verified by the competent authorities, it will be the policy of state terrorism put in place by the kyiv regime”.
11h49 : Is there an official reaction from the Kremlin to the death of Daria Duguine? It seems that the resistance is getting organized right to the heart of Russia…
11:30 a.m. : Russia could “do something particularly disgusting” et “cruel” next week in Ukraine, when the latter will celebrate its Independence Day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned last night. Ukraine celebrates its independence from the USSR in 1991 on August 24.
