Nearly 200 people bid farewell to Daria Dugina in Moscow

Relatives, friends and acquaintances of Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who was killed on Saturday in a car bomb attack, have bid farewell to the journalist on Tuesday at a wake held in a hall in Moscow's Ostankino center.

During the ceremony, which was attended by 200 people, Russian politician Leonid Slutski spoke, as well as Duma Deputy Speaker Sergei Neverov and the founder and owner of the Tsargrad TV channel, Konstantin Malofiv, as reported by Kommersant.

"She was not afraid, really, and the last time we talked to her at the tradition festival, she told me: dad, I feel like a warrior, I feel like a heroine," said her father, Alexander Dugin, at a ceremony that lasted about two hours, as reported by the TASS news agency.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday expressed his condolences to Alexander Dugin, considered one of the ideologues of the president, for the "cruel" murder of his daughter, a woman whom the president remembered as "brilliant" and "with a true Russian heart".

Daria Dugina lost her life after an explosive device installed under her vehicle exploded. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) on Monday accused the Ukrainian secret services of preparing and committing the attack and pointed to a woman who allegedly fled to Estonia as the perpetrator.

Following the Russian authorities' version of the journalist's murder, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu considered the Russian intelligence investigation a "provocation" which, according to Reinsalu, is trying to pressure Tallinn to change its current anti-Moscow policy.

THE ROLE OF ESTONIA Estonia has explained, according to Estonian diplomatic sources consulted by Europa Press, that it can share information on people entering or leaving the country as long as they are cases "prescribed by law". Thus, "the accusation of the Russian FSB", which reached them through a "Kremlin propaganda channel", "is not one of them".

The alleged perpetrator, a Ukrainian citizen named Natalia Vovk Pavlova, arrived in Russia on July 23 with her twelve-year-old daughter, Sofia Shaban Mikhailovna, and allegedly crossed the border into Estonia, according to the Russian version.

Estonia prohibits Russian citizens with Schengen visas issued by Tallinn from entering the country. Vovk entered the country in a Mini Cooper car with Donetsk license plates, although it is unclear what type of visa he was carrying.

In fact, Ukrainian Presidential advisor Mikhail Podoliak already questioned the Russian propaganda of Moscow's "fictional world" on his official Twitter profile, assuring that the Estonian visa has not been found.
