Nomos of War
Difficult to prove who could be behind this, but worth remembering that it follows the escalations in Crimea.
Going after soft targets and family members is what happens in the final stages of gang warfare.

Regarding Strelkov and claims of a power struggle in Russia.
Remember to do your research before accepting any take, even in dissident circles. Oftentimes what you find is worse than the news.
"[Strelkov] tried to cross the border using a forged passport in the name of Serhii Viktorovych Runov, which he used to work for the special services. But he was recognized, detained and sent to Simferopol."
While a power struggle is possible in Russia, it's less likely than in the West. And to say that Strelkov's arrest was due to a power struggle is blatant distortion of the news to push the reddit nationalist narrative.

Girkin (Strelkov) arrested earlier this week, now Darya assassinated (Dugin may have been the target, but we can’t be sure). Things are not well on the good ship Muscovy. We’re witnessing the effects of an elite power struggle from afar.

It’s not that anyone expects us to shed more tears over Dugina than any other person killed because of the war. It’s more that this whole thing where Zog is reduced to trying to blow up not overly influential Russian philosophers with car bombs or IEDs is yet another illustration of how shameless, morally bankrupt and desperate they are. What is the military value of Alexander Dugin? You can’t even say that NATO accidentally killed a women while trying to go after some actual military target. They murdered a philosophers daughter while trying to murder a philosopher who was no military value what so ever.
Again it’s not matter of anyone insisting you cry more for Dugins daughter than any other civilian who has been killed/murdered. It’s that if you are missing the symbolism here you are missing the actual story. If the Russians had say blown up Francis Fukuyamas daughter while trying to kill Francis Fukuyama we would all be saying “WTF this is just retarded what were the Russians even thinking”. Well the CIA/M16/whoever just did that. It’s Telegraphing just how stupid, shameless, lost and totally bankrupt the Western side is here.

Though we have our disagreements with Alexandr Dugin, which we will make no reference to here, there is no amount of disagreement that can justify any other emotion than grief and solidarity at this new. The shock, pain, and disorientation a father must innevitably feel at having his daugther taken from him in such a brutal and unexpected way, especially as he was present at the scene as it unfolded, is more than worthy of our sympathies and condolences.
Rest your soul, Daria Dugina, we pray for you, and for your father, that he may find the strength to grieve you well.

"To deal with assassinations from a more general perspective, I was prompted in the course of studying history to view assassinations as attempts to change the course of history by means that are inappropriate to it, elementary means. That is why the results of most assassinations are the direct opposite of what the conspirators intended: thus, they harm themselves, independently of the personal risk they run. That was true of the Fieschi plot, which you are, no doubt, acquainted with. Fieschi built an infernal machine to kill Louis-Philippe and his escort. He set up thirty guns parallel with one another, and a few exploded, ripping off his hand. But that was merely a secondary mishap. In any case, the event helped to shore up Louis-Philippe's administration for another fifteen years. The same could be said about the attempt on Lenin's life: it led to a huge massacre in the educated circles and did more good than harm to Bolshevism. In fact, I have the impression that when the ruling power begins to get shaky, it welcomes such assassination attempts. Nevertheless, we have to make distinctions. Harmodius and Aristogiton, for instance, are of a different format."

"The primary and most honorable goal of new nationalism is precisely a strong state power of a strictly authoritarian type. Next, the foremost duty of the nationalistic state will be the creation of a powerful army, equipped with the most modern technical means."

"Whoever considers war, and its uniformed potential, the military profession, in connection with the nature of the state as discussed so far, has to conclude that through war, and in the military profession, we are presented with a type, even perhaps the archetype of the state. Here we see, as the most general effect of the war tendency, the immediate separation and division of the chaotic masses into military castes, from which there arises the construction of a 'war-like society' in the shape of a pyramid on the broadest possible base: a slave-like bottom stratum. The unconscious purpose of the whole movement forces every individual under its yoke, and even among heterogeneous natures produces, as it were, a chemical transformation of their characteristics until they are brought into affinity with that purpose. In the higher castes, it becomes a little clearer what is actually happening with this inner process, namely the creation of the military genius - whom we have already met as original founder of the state."

"The real will to struggle, the real hatred is satisfied by anything that can destroy the enemy. Destruction is the only means which seems suitable for nationalism in the present situation. The first part of its task is anarchic, and he who has realised this will welcome anything that can destroy in this first part of the road. It is not our task to devise measures to make external political pressure more bearable, to reduce internal political tensions, to participate in elections, to influence conferences and votes, to engage in so-called referendums. It is not our job to go on long tirades against the general deterioration of political and social morality, against abortion, against strikes, against lockouts, against cuts in the police and the army. We leave all fanatics with the idea that there is a form of revolution that maintains order at the same time. What has the elemental to do with the moral? Yet we are drifting towards the elemental, which has become visible to us again for the first time in a long time in the hellish throes of war. We will not stand where the flame of the torch has not opened the way for us, where the flamethrower has not accomplished the great purification through nothingness. He who denies the whole cannot draw fruit from the parts. Since we are the true, real, and irreconcilable enemies of the citizen, we entertain his degradation. But we are not citizens, we are sons of war and civil war, and only when all this, this spectacle of circles spinning in the void, is swept away, only then can what is still left in us from nature, from elementality, from true savagery, from original language, from the capacity for true reproduction through blood and seed, blossom. Only then does the possibility of new forms emerge."
