Take everything I say with a grain of salt. This is speculation. But my current assessment is that the death of Darya Dugina was a Russian operation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Again, Dugin is not as famous in Russia as he is infamous in the West, but there's no doubt that the horrific quality of the action could be used for propaganda purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Additionally, if Putin wants to achieve some kind of accommodation with the West—in other words, if he doesn't want to push the "Eurasian" war to its limits—then having a hard-liner like Dugin around would no longer be palatable. Dugin would become a "dissident" after all. — PolitiTweet.org

This article offers a glimpse of how dangerous it is to be a Kremlin-aligned billionaire. https://t.co/T6TAtHjBRF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Being aligned with Moscow is a dangerous place to be. So many tycoons benefited from a close relationships to Putin and his regime, only to end up slaughtered or "suicided" along with their families. They became billionaires...before they were reduced to nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

That said, Dugin was not a "dissident" either. A "dissident" *dissents* from official policy and sounds *dissonant* notes in the culture. Dugin does neither. Eurasianism functions as a highly theorized and highly theological version of Moscow's geopolitical strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Dugin was not exactly "Putin brain" or a "Rasputin" in the inner circle. He lost his impressive professorship for his notorious "kill, kill, kill" comments about Ukrainians in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Dugin was, of course, more infamous in the West than he was famous in the East. He was a dissident in his youth, who fell in love with the Soviet Union after it had collapsed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This was a professional job. Reports are that surveillance cameras were disabled, and the explosion seems to have involved a car bomb. The people who did this wanted to keep it opaque. And we also shouldn't assume that Alexander Dugin was necessarily the real target... — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Don't call me a "conspiracy theorist" when this action is, by its nature, opaque, and designed to hide the perpetrator. When I first heard about Dugina's death, my mind also leaped to "Ukrainian partisans did this." But that, too, is a "conspiracy theory." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I don’t assume this. In fact, after sleeping on the matter, I’m willing to say publicly that I don’t believe it likely that Ukrainians were behind the assignation. At the very least, it will benefit Russia in mobilizing the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The assumption behind the gloating is that Ukrainian partisans must have done this, and Dugin is “reaping the whirlwind” of his calls for war. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I don’t think Westerners should be gloating over the death of Darya Dugina—for the obvious moral reasons, but for pragmatic ones as well. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard not to see this as an assassination, but it could very well be an accident. Targeting ideologues is, of course, nothing new…but represents a major escalation. I will wait for more info before reaching any conclusions. Holy shit… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@Alfrothul4 Very true. At least in my reading, anti-Prussianism, and anti-Lutheranism, was a guiding motivation for him. He was a “Romantic” Catholic. Someone like Kurt Schumacher was the Prussian socialist. — PolitiTweet.org
