Alexander Dugin, known as ‘Putin’s Rasputin’, had strongly attacked the Kremlin leader shortly before his daughter Darya was blown up in a car bomb.
This was revealed as it became clear there had been an online campaign to disparage Dugin ahead of a fatal blast that was seen as intended for him.
These factors add to the theory that the death of TV personality and ultranationalist pundit Darya Dugina, 29, was in an attack by Russian special services or other forces loyal to Putin.
