To Kill Dugin! The massacre of innocents and the geopolitics of anti-Russian terrorism.

Iurie Roșca

The international family of conservative and traditionalist thought and action is in mourning.

Our good friend and comrade in ideological struggle Daria Dugin-Platonova was the victim of a terrorist attack in Russia, as a result of which she died. Her car exploded shortly after the departure of the famous journalist and conservative activist.

Obviously, the target of this terrorist attack was the notorious Russian traditionalist thinker Alexander Dugin. Alexander Dugin miraculously survived. He was going to get in the same car, but at the last moment he gave up and got into a friend's car.

I have been a friend of the Dugin family for many years, I have translated four books and a series of articles by this eminent philosopher into Romanian and edited his books in Romania and Moldova. I was very attached to his daughter Daria, a brilliant disciple of her father with a very solid philosophical education in France, a formidable journalist and an excellent organizer. Daria was a very special young woman. Unlike her colleagues of her generation who live their lives nonchalantly and outside of any ideal and any major aspiration, Daria was a person totally devoted to her father's cause, which she shared with devotion and loyalty.

A few years ago, together with Alexander Dugin and his indefatigable and charming daughter Daria, I organized the Chisinau Forum, an international conference which brought together leading intellectuals from the new European anti-Atlanticist dissidence and from the former communist countries. We organized in 2019, with the direct contribution of Alexander and Daria, an international team of anti-System intellectuals from various countries, which undertook a tour in Syria, where we had a series of public meetings to express our solidarity with the Syrian people in their struggle against Israeli-American aggression. In our delegation Daria was the only woman who faced all the risks with us traveling through war-torn Syria.

The assassination of Daria Dugin and the attempted assassination of her father Alexander are extremely significant. The enemies of Russia today aim for the physical liquidation of the centers of strategic thought in this country, of the most important thinkers, capable of conceptualizing the current historical scene and of representing an ideological alternative to neoliberal totalitarian globalism.

The murder of Daria Dugin represents a radical turning point not only for Russia, but also for international politics. Her death could accelerate certain processes that were in a state of latency or stagnation.

Russia's enemies threw the gauntlet defiantly in its face. And it happens at very critical time not only for this country in the midst of a war with the collective West on the territory of Ukraine, but also for the entire international community. Moscow cannot remain impassive in the face of such a serious terrorist act. We still don't know how the Kremlin will react. It is however certain that with the assassination of Daria Dugin, the world will no longer be what it was. We are entering a much more dangerous phase.

Alexander made the ultimate sacrifice on the altar of his own ideals. Daria had also learned very well her father's lesson that an ideal must be served to the end, even at the cost of your personal life. The people of this spiritual family willingly put on the shirt of death. They serve God and the Nation, and fidelity to Christ and to the Fatherland sometimes obliges us to assume death as the supreme gesture of love and purposefulness in the fight.

A Dieu, dear Daria!
