A better chance is the Russian mafia. Putin's war is bad for business, and all the Oligarch's have ties to crime. The tactic is also a signature Russian mob move.

he death of Darya Dugina, the daughter of Russian ultranationalist firebrand Alexander Dugin, is at first glance a flashback to 1990s Russia, when gangsters settled scores with contract killings and car bombs.

Dugin is a creature of the same decade. He emerged from fringe politics, most notably as founding member of the National Bolshevik party, political provocateurs who combined communist and fascist symbolism with a heaping dose of anti-Western sentiment. There are differing opinions on his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin now, though the ultranationalist's teachings were in line with Putin's expansionism, and Dugin is a fierce proponent of Russia's war in Ukraine....

Where did Darya Dugina spend her summer vacation? All over Bolshiye Vyaziomy. <rimshot!>

All the innocent people Putin's slaughtered in Ukraine don't deserve a death sentence either.

That's another topic, and Putin's invasion of Ukraine is criminal on all counts.

Western media really don't know who the Dugins actually are.

Independent Russian media I am reading claim the western press is totally exaggerating the influence of Alexander Dugin on Putin, and it's clear that Daria Dugin had no access or direct influence over Putin's decision making process.

That she is an ultranationalist fascist there is no doubt.

But this board has fascists who are probably just as despicable as Daria Dugin. I don't think that is sufficient moral justification for murdering them.

Kremlin is blaming it on Ukraine

I don't see how this risky assassination attempt gives any significant military or psychological benefit to Ukraine.

Its possible that internal Russian opposition groups were involved.

They came out and took credit, which ruins Putin's narrative.

The Mueller Report proves interference but not collusion. I trust the report.

Like with other politicians pulling shenanigans, there were odd occurrences, but not enough evidence for trial.

Because due to obstruction, he couldn't 'prove' it.

If you remember, Mueller was walking a high wire, with trump threatening to shut down the investigation if he 'got too close to family'.

There was a meeting in trump Tower with Jr. and others, with Sr. in the building. They invited the Russians who promised 'dirt in Hillary'.

We never did get to the bottom of that due to a refusal by the entire trump Klan to testify.

A Russian resistance group has taken credit, saying that they are coming for anyone who supports Putin.

I hope it's true Russian opposition groups have this kind of Intel and capabilities.

I have to consider the possibility this is a false flag operations by the Kremlin to justify more repression of opposition groups.

But blaming it on Ukranian intelligence services never made sense to me.

It's a good weapon for a guerrilla. The problem is discrimination; making sure the right person is next to the detonation.

The old way was to just strap dynamite near the driver and wrap standard fuse around the exhaust manifold, then hope they hop on the Interstate. Nowadays, it's easy to rig a remote detonator.

IMHO, the bombers knew who was in the car and detonated it at an opportune moment. Sure, they probably wished the old man was in with his Nazi daughter, but that's the luck of the draw. LOL

I find it interesting that dad decided at the last minute to ride with someone else.
