The daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, the founder of the National Bolshevik Party (NBP) in 1993 and an influential ideologue of the Putin regime, died last Saturday due to an explosion in the car he was driving. This fact has given rise to all kinds of speculation: from analysts who point to the FSB, as we saw here, to Dugin supporters who accuse Ukraine, intelligence services from other countries and even throughout the West in general. Yesterday I already pointed out that none of the pro-Russian Internet users had suggested that it may have been an attack from within, and that possibility is gaining strength now.

An unknown 'partisan' group claims responsibility for the attack in a statement

The alleged authorship of the crime has been announced by Ilya Ponomarev, a left-wing former Russian deputy who belonged to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) and to the Spravedlivaya Rossiya (Fair Russia) party, expelled a few months of the Socialist International for supporting the invasion of Ukraine. Ponomarev is a known opponent of Putin and is currently in exile. Yesterday he conceded an interview with the Russian television channel Utro Fevralya (February Morning), which he founded and supports the Russian opposition. During the interview, Ponomarev announced that the so-called National Republican Army (NRA), a hitherto unknown Russian "partisan" group, has claimed responsibility for the attack through a statement sent to the former deputy.

That group announces more actions against personalities linked to the Kremlin

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, in the interview Ponomarev pointed out that the NRA has carried out other actions on Russian territory in recent months, which would explain the succession of mysterious fires and sabotage in some Russian infrastructure. "This attack opens a new page in the Russian resistance to Putinism. New, but not the last", Ponomarev pointed out in reference to Dugina's assassination. According to The Guardian, the former Russian deputy declared that "partisans" inside Russia are ready to carry out more similar attacks against high-profile targets related to the Kremlin, including officials, oligarchs and members of security agencies. Russian security. The NRA statement justifies Dugina's murder by pointing out that she supported the "genocide" in Ukraine: "She was a voice calling for violence and murder."

A manifesto in which the group says it intends to depose Putin

On the Rospartizan Telegram channel, created by Ponomarev and followed by more than 17,000 people, it was published yesterday a manifest sent by the ENR, in which it states: "We declare President Putin a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death. Poverty and coffins for some, palaces for others - the essence of his policy. We believe that disenfranchised people have the right to revolt against tyrants. Putin will be deposed and destroyed by us!"

The NRA's manifesto also states: "Our goal is to stop the destruction of Russia and its neighbors, to stop the activities of a handful of Kremlin businessmen who have absorbed the wealth of our people and are committing crimes today inside and outside the country. We declare the officials of the Government of the Russian Federation and regional administrations accomplices of the usurper: those who do not give up their powers will be destroyed by us. We declare the businessmen who earn their money with corruption and connections with officials, traitors to the Fatherland and accomplices of the usurper. The property of those who do not repent and do not speak publicly against this government and its war, and they themselves will be destroyed by us."

Likewise, the ENR states: "We declare the military shipments and the shipments of those who earn money in the war and help it financially, legal objectives that we will destroy." The manifesto also states: "We find it unacceptable that the Russians have begun to be vilified around the world for war crimes committed by those who have no nationality and no country, and who only love money and power. The world is not an enemy of Russia, and Russia is not an enemy of humanity, and we will prove it with facts."

Analysts doubt the veracity of the statement: the precedent of Operation Trust of 1921

Olga Lautman, an expert on Russian organized crime and its relations with the Putin regime, has shown her surprise at the fact that "some weird group that no one has ever heard of in Russia is taking responsibility for the bombing", something he describes as "bizarre". Lautman points out that "is most likely security services and they were pushing Putin is dying any moment".

In turn, the terrorism expert Kyle Orton has described the authorship of the attack announced by Ponomarev as "highly dubious", adding: "The two most likely options here are: (1) Ponomarev is wrong/making this up; or (2) he believes he is in touch with such an organisation, which is an FSB creature modelled on the TRUST operation.", referring to the operation launched by the Cheka, the Leninist political police, in the USSR in 1921, by which a false opposition group was created to arrest the opponents of the communist dictatorship. In 1967, the Soviet dictatorship came to broadcast on television a series of adventures based on those events.
