Dugin Blames “Nazi Ukraine,” Vows Retribution for Daughter’s Death [UPDATE 1]
Dugin Blames “Nazi Ukraine,” Vows Retribution for Daughter’s Death [UPDATE 1]
A who’s who of Russian oligarchs and white nationalist terrorists express sorrow. Updates to follow.
Despite claims by Russian dissident Ilya Ponomarev that the “National Republican Army” conducted the attack on Aleksandr Dugin that killed his daughter, Dugin is blaming “Nazi Ukraine” for the attack.
Here is some background on Dugin:
Vladimir Putin is also blaming Ukraine.
Sanctioned Russian oligarch and Dugin ally Konstantin Malofeev has also picked up on this narrative.
More to come, but it appears this was an attack carried by an internal Russian insurgency and Putin and Dugin are trying to blame it on Ukraine. Next week is Ukrainian Independence Day. I’m very concerned that there will be “retribution” in the coming days.
It’s important to remember that Aleksandr Dugin is one of Steve Bannon’s favorite “philosophers” along with Nazi occultist Julius Evola. I expect Bannon to push this “Ukrainian terrorists” narrative as well.
[UPDATE 1]
Russia is blaming a “Ukrainian woman” who “escaped to Estonia” which is a vulnerable NATO country. Also, Russia is crying to the United Nations about the attack. Embarrassing.
Putin awarded his late employee for the “-Order of Courage.” 🙄

Russian oligarchs are so cringe.
The oligarchs in question are the wealthiest individuals in America today.
The vast majority have connections to the powerful and organized money forces running America.
How much money gets bought by oligarchs in the US is something we're very, very curious about.
By some measures, they're pretty impressive.
They're well-mannered, they're well paid, they have very little political or military experience, and they're probably more effective than just sitting around and talking politics.
In fact, the most interesting parts of their lives are a lot more mundane. It doesn't make them more relevant, but it does help us figure out exactly how much money they make, and how they've betrayed democracy.
