For those that may not have heard, there was an assassination attempt against Dugin, sometimes called "Putin's brain." The attempt instead killed Dugin's daughter (who was not innocent in this, either).

Russia, of course, is blaming Ukraine. In conversations I have had online, many have pointed out the use of false flag tactics by Putin during the war with Chechnya to garner sympathy among the population. However, I don't see him using one of his closest allies in this way, plus this does show Putin in a light of weakness.
Now, there is a group of Russians that have claimed responsibility. The NRA (National Republican Army) is a revolutionary partisan group that is also spreading their manifesto calling for people to rise against Putin.
It's an interesting course of events, for sure.

It will be interesting to hear Putin's spin on this.
Putin: Ukraine did it!
Ukraine: yeah right, when pigs fly.
Russian NRA: We did it!
Guessing.....
Putin: Ukraine still did it!
Putin to closest advisors: Kill everyone related to NRA that you can find and their families too.

I have no problem with shitty people getting killed. Especially Russian ones. Which reminds me, the bosses hired a Russian dude where I work so I have two weeks to train myself not to say things like “Especially Russian ones”.

I tend to think it was Ukrainians then planted the 'manifesto' of the NRA to put fear in the hearts of Russian leadership.., but who knows? Might have been someone she owed a trainload of gold to as well..

I was going to say "sins of the father" and all that, but she seems pretty detestable in her own right.

Putin is no one to trifle with, but any homegrown insurgency is bad news for even the most brutal tyrant. Last thing he needs going on while trying to execute a costly was with Ukraine. I hope they continue to be a thorn in his side.

Putin is a stooge. He's been given the keys to a kingdom and has pissed it all away for a vanity war and has tried to hold the world hostage. Joe Biden called his bluff and won.
