Putin’s spiritual mastermind Alexander Dugin suffers heart attack after surviving assassination attempt

The so-called “spiritual mastermind” of Vladimir Putin, Alexander Dugin is said to have suffered a possible heart attack after allegedly escaping an attempt on his life.

Alexander Dugin, the man who is sometimes referred to as “Putin’s brain,” is currently hospitalized as a result of the explosion that took the life of his daughter Darya Dugina, who was 30 years old.

Olga Lautman, a Kremlin expert, said that Dugin had a heart attack, citing his close buddy Sergei Markov.

Markov published the following message on his Telegram channel: “Poor Alexander Dugin. He is currently hospitalized. Our huge condolences.”

In an interview with the Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti, Markov pointed the finger of responsibility at Ukrainian security agencies for carrying out the attack.

Another counterintelligence account, @KremlinTrolls, also published the news of Dugin’s claimed heart attack, implying that the FSB had attempted to kill Dugin a second time.

According to conflicting stories, Dugin suffered either a heart attack or a psychological breakdown after his daughter was murdered.

His Twitter account announced early Monday: “Update, Alexander Dugin is in the hospital under guard.”

Dugin’s presumed heart attack occurs months after Putin’s defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, died under mysteriously comparable circumstances.

Putin critic Leonid Nevzlin, 62, said Shoigu’s heart ailment “couldn’t have been natural.”

A Russian journalist named Dugina had been reporting from Ukraine for pro-Russian media from the beginning of the conflict there. Specifically, she had reported from the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol.

The government of the United Kingdom designated her as “a frequent and high-profile producer of disinformation in regard to Ukraine” and imposed sanctions on her a month ago.

The bombing that occurred on a highway in the southwest of Moscow on Saturday evening has not been claimed by any organization.

However, some foreign policy and intelligence specialists have asserted that it is quite likely that Vladimir Putin gave the order that led to the strike being carried out.

Anders Aslund, an economist and Russian specialist, stated that the Kremlin was most likely responsible for the blast on his Twitter account.
