The incident surrounding the explosion near Bolshie Vyazemy in the Moscow region has drawn intense scrutiny from multiple witnesses and commentators. Musician Petr Lundstrem, who took part in the Tradition festival, described the blast as an act of sabotage attributed to trans-Ukrainian actors operating inside Russia, according to his statements carried by a Telegram channel. He suggested that the attack targeted Alexander Dugin and pointed to supporters of Kyiv as being responsible for the incident. Lundstrem claimed that his own vehicle was parked in the same area as Daria Dugina’s car, and he speculated that the jeep in question might have been mined in that same parking lot.
The incident occurred in the vicinity of the village of Bolshie Vyazemy, with initial reports indicating that the car exploded while traveling along the Mozhaisk highway. Alexander Dugin himself was reportedly on the scene as events unfolded. The information remains subject to ongoing verification, and the authorities have not released a definitive account at this stage.
According to Lundstrem, Dugin and his daughter were invited to attend the Tradition festival, and Dugin reportedly switched to a different vehicle at the last moment, which meant he was not in the same car as his daughter on that occasion. Preliminary information circulated about the fate of Daria Dugina, with early accounts suggesting she died at the scene. Eyewitness videos circulated on social media showing a Land Cruiser Prado SUV burning by the roadside and debris scattered across the road, contributing to the rapid dissemination of unconfirmed details as investigators begin their work. These videos have been shared widely, prompting reactions from observers and officials alike.
Authorities have pledged a thorough investigation to determine the sequence of events, confirm any culpability, and identify those responsible. As the situation develops, officials are likely to release more precise findings and official statements to replace initial impressions and unverified reports. The ongoing inquiry underscores the sensitivity and high profile of the individuals involved and the potential political implications of such incidents, which continue to attract considerable public and media attention around the country.
