The daughter of a close ally of Vladimir Putin has been killed in a suspected car bomb attack near Moscow, it is understood.
Darya Dugin, daughter of “Putin’s brain” Alexander Dugin, 60, died in the suspected assassination plot that was meant for her father.
She is believed to have been killed in a blast near the village of Bolshiye Vyazyomy last night.
Footage from the scene of the blast shows her Land Cruiser Prado engulfed in flames by a roadside with emergency vehicles nearby.
Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher who is an ultra-nationalist close to Putin, is believed to have been the intended target.
Dugin was admitted to the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1979, but was later expelled because of his involvement with mystic neo-Nazi groups. He then spent the 1980s hanging around monarchist and ultraright- wing circles, before joining Gennady Ziuganov’s Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF, a neo-Stalinist group partially descended from, but not to be confused with, the previously ruling Communist Party of the Soviet Union,
In order to be so united, this Eurasian Union will need a defining ideology, and for this purpose Dugin has developed a new “Fourth Political Theory” that combines all of the strongest points of Communism, Nazism, Ecologism, and Traditionalism, thereby allowing it to appeal to the adherents of all of these diverse anti-liberal creeds. Although he would adopt Communism’s opposition to free enterprise, he would drop the Marxist commitment to technological progress—a liberal-derived ideal— in favor of Ecologism’s demagogic appeal to stop the advance of industry and modernity. From Traditionalism, he derives a justification for stopping free thought. All the rest is straight out of Nazism, ranging from legal theories justifying unlimited state power and the elimination of individual rights, to the need for populations “rooted” in the soil, to weird gnostic ideas about the secret origin of the Aryan race in the North Pole.

Do you think in Putin's more salient moments when he's alone and pondering on the progress of his war he sits and thinks 'What the # have I done?' or do you think he's just far too arrogant and consumed with his own delusions of Greatness that he doesn't give a toss about all the misery that his war is causing?
