Russia’s internal shadow war intensifies | Washington Examiner

The assassination in Moscow of the daughter of an influential Russian imperial ideologue, Alexander Dugin, has confirmed that the Kremlin s war against Ukraine is rebounding back into Russia. The FSB, Russia s security service, quickly blamed Ukrainian operatives for the Moscow attack, but this may be aimed at disguising something even more serious for the regime.

There are three potential explanations for the assassination of Darya Dugina, all of which intensify the Kremlin s domestic crisis: a Ukrainian attack, a growing armed rebellion, or an internal power struggle. Kyiv has denied any involvement in the Moscow bombing, even though FSB accusations will actually elevate respect for the capacities of Ukrainian special forces and raise morale in the country in defiance of Russia. Dugin s daughter was a propagandist on state television who vehemently supported the murder of Ukrainian civilians and will be seen as a valid target.

Not a lot of tears for Ms. Dugina.
