According to Stanovaya, Dugina’s murder will deepen the discontent of the angry far-right with the course of the war. Russia support for the radicalization of the leadership will increase
in Moscow a well-known far-right ideologue Alexander DuginThe accusation of a 42-year-old Ukrainian woman in the death of his daughter raised doubts among analysts. They see traces of strife within the Kremlin in these claims of the FSB and say that the number of such attacks will increase if it appears that Russia is losing the war.
Suspicions were fueled by the rapid “opening” of this murder. Just two days after the death of 29-year-old Darya Dugina, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that the car bomb Ukraine secret service agent left. Dugina herself was a shining star of the Russian far-right community.
The FSB usually political murders don’t open that fast. 2020oppositionist in August Alexei NavalnyNo on poisoning crime starting work. The Dugina case was “opened” in less than 36 hours.
42-year-old Ukrainian accused of conspiracy in Moscow Natalia VovkHe says he is a member of the far-right Azov battalion. Russia he calls this group neo-Nazi, “extremist”.
The FSB’s version raises questions: how did the Ukrainian agent get in and out of Russia, after all, border guards closely check every Ukrainian and search their phones.
Ukraine why should he target the Dugins? Many people think that the authority of father and son is exaggerated and their influence is decreasing. Also, there are not a few well-known people who support the war in Russia.
Against the background of all these questions, some observers attack Russia began to interpret it as a sign of conflict within the elite. of Ukraine In the seventh month of the invasion, there are unexpected large losses, and the number of conspicuous victories is small.
“Most likely, the conflict between the ‘peace lovers’ who consider it important to end the war and the ‘supporters of war’ like Dugin has intensified around Putin.” – In Kiev political analyst Viktor Nebojenko He told RFE/RL.
Putin He made the decision to invade Ukraine with the participation of a group of close people, and it shocked many in the Russian elite. Putin He planned to hold Ukraine for a few days and establish a pro-Moscow government in Kiev.
The invasion is delayed, Russia is suffering some casualties, and nationalist groups that count Dugin among their key ideologues are openly complaining that Moscow is not making much of an effort to invade Ukraine. These groups call for more aggressive tactics.
According to Nebozhenko, those in favor of a negotiated settlement with the West might want to “remove Dugi … to strengthen their position.”
Expert on right-wing movements in Russia and Ukraine Anton Shekhovtsov says that if Dugina’s death is the result of strife in the Kremlin, then it will help those who want to incite war.
Russian political analyst To Tatyana Stanova also agrees with this idea. According to him, Dugina’s death will lead to “radicalization of the conservative camp”.
Dugi, a former professor and far-right, is said to have played a role in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. he Ukraine calls for the establishment of an authoritarian Eurasian state, including
“Dugini’s ideology influenced a whole generation of conservative and radical activists and politicians. If given the opportunity, they will try to adapt their basic principles to the state policy. – analysts Anton Barbasin and Hannah Toburn They wrote in March 2014.
Political analysts consider Dugin’s neo-Eurasian movement fascist, and Dugin himself has called for violence. In 2014 of Ukraine when separatism broke out in the east with the support of Moscow, Dugin told Russian state television that “Ukrainians must be killed, killed, killed.”
Putin he himself sometimes voiced Dugin’s expansionist language and views. However, it is not clear how much influence the ideologue has on the president.
Some analysts say that this effect weakened in 2014. Then he says that Putin hesitantly supported the separatists in Ukraine and expressed his disappointment. In July of that year, Dugin warned that if support is not increased, the separatists will lose the war with Ukrainian government forces. He said that “patriots” consider the Kremlin’s hesitation “a sign of betrayal”.
Some analysts of Dugin’s August 20killing in , they call the government’s message to the right-wing elements. Political analyst, Kremlin critic Andrei Piontkovsky says that this murder is a “warning” of Russian security services to Dugin for his criticism of Putin.
According to Stanovaya, Dugina’s murder will deepen the discontent of the angry far-rights with the course of the war, and support for the radicalization of the Russian leadership will increase.
