[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The daughter of an ultra-right-wing thinker who influenced Russian President Vladimir Putin's ideology died on the 20th (local time) in Moscow due to a mysterious explosion while driving a car.


According to major foreign media, around 9:30 p.m. the previous day, a Toyota SUV driven by Darya Dugina (30), daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, exploded violently and was shattered into pieces on the outskirts of Moscow. Authorities stated that the driver died at the scene.


An associate suggested that the incident might have been a deliberate attack targeting either Dugin or the father-daughter duo. It is also reported that explosives may have been planted in the vehicle beforehand.



Dugin is an ultra-right-wing political thinker who has supported the idea of creating a vast new Russian empire, including Ukraine, and is considered a key figure in shaping President Putin's expansionist foreign policy. His daughter Dugina, who worked as a journalist and political commentator, supported her father's ideology and appeared on Russian state TV expressing support for the invasion of Ukraine.
