Darya Duganah was killed in a car bomb on Saturday night. Russian authorities say she was likely murdered. She'd been very outspoken about her opposition of the government in Kiev, and her support basically for the Kremlin fighting in Ukraine. Her father is Alexander Dugan, a philosopher and Russian public intellectual who matters because he says what Putin thinks.
A car bomb killed Russian commentator Darya Dugina over the weekend. The bomb may have been meant for her father, the far-right, pro-Putin, pro-war philosopher Alexander Dugin. The Guardian’s Andrew Roth explains.
