“THE BLURRED LINE”

Why is the murder of Darya Dugina a terrorist attack that goes beyond the Kiev implications?

Sir Charlattam

It was about 9 o'clock on the evening of Saturday 20 August when a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado van travelling on a road 20 kilometres west of Moscow was suddenly hit by an explosion that threw it to the side of the road where it would remain in flames near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy. The scene did not seem to correspond to the place. None of the neighbours in the vicinity remember a similar event. Another car followed, braking quickly, and a desperate man got out of the car and watched helplessly as the car burnt down, clearly showing signs of dismay.

That man was none other than the conservative intellectual Aleksander Dugin, who only minutes before had seen his daughter Darya Dugina, a journalist and activist, killed instantly by the explosion. She had taken his van at the last minute without even imagining that this could happen. The scenario was reminiscent of the Iraqi resistance attacks on US and British mobile armoured units that put so much pressure on the morale of the occupiers. For British Royal Marines in particular, Amarah, Najab and Basra are places that still haunt the nightmares of many of them.

It was clear that this was not an accident but a deliberate act and worst of all, executed within the capital itself. There is no doubt that this strike just minutes from the Kremlin has the generals and FSB chiefs in an uproar and they must somehow explain to Vladimir Putin how this could have happened. To be fair, Russian intelligence had been on alert for some time and has even been tracking ultra-nationalist elements sympathetic to the Zelensky regime in several raids across the Federation.

The attack apparently targeted Dugin himself, as the van was his and his daughter had taken it to return.

The Russian authorities have not given details of the method of destroying the vehicle, but two possible methods are being considered. One would be the detonation of an IED in the path of the van and the other a limpet bomb placed under the floor of the van and detonated by remote control. In either case, about 400 grams of TNT would have been used. The motive for the attack is presumed to be a psychological blow against the so-called 'Putin mastermind', although many in the Kremlin deny that Dugin has such influence.

According to information published by the Russian authorities, the main suspects are a Ukrainian citizen named Natalya Vovk and her daughter, who were seen entering the building where Dugin lived, with whom they interacted and then fled in their mini cooper with fake plates to Estonia after the attack.

The fate of the suspect is not surprising and casts further suspicion on those behind the attack. It is precisely there that NATO is intensely active with the presence of British troops, which in recent months have doubled their numbers and equipment. Since the beginning of Special Operation Z, the British and other Atlanticist partners have been training irregular groups and cells for operations behind the lines in Donbass, but there is no doubt that the execution of this attack in Moscow has another level that goes beyond the competence of the military.

But it is not only the British military presence that has multiplied. Intelligence has undoubtedly reinforced its bases from where, using Ukrainian elements, they mount their operations against Russian troops in Ukraine.

The use of a limpet bomb is a method widely used by intelligence agencies and especially by the Israeli Mossad to assassinate Palestinian resistance leaders and Iranian scientists. This does not mean that it was the Israelis (despite their close relationship with the SBU) but it does not prevent some of their partners from taking the opportunity to use it as “know how”. And who are close collaborators and allies of this agency in Europe? That's right, the British MI6, which has been involved in similar actions and in particular in dirty provocations such as the one that started the 44-day war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. 

This undoubtedly adds a bizarre framing to the Foreign Office's more than pragmatic relations and highlights who is who in all of this. British politicians who boast of being the liberal beacon for all of Europe and of lecturing others (to follow what comes from Washington) have not only authorised aggressive intervention, terrorism and torture to establish their second-best policies to follow the US (Iraq and Afghanistan) but complete their track record with collaboration with Slavic pro-Nazi regimes.

It would appear that the clearing of traces has already begun, and this can be sensed by the bizarre suicide of a senior SBU officer found in a flat he owned in Krapivnitsky, Kirovograd region. This is only speculation, as it is also possible that he was eliminated on Zelensky's own orders as part of the purge he has been implementing throughout the state apparatus. But possible links to the attack on Dugina cannot be ruled out, which is why he had to be silenced. It is to be hoped that the perpetrator of the attack will not be found alive, as her democratic trainers will undoubtedly wipe her off the face of the earth like her boss.
