VLADIMIR Putin’s “spiritual guide” Alexander Dugin narrowly escaped a fatal car bomb that blew up his sanctioned daughter, reports say.
The Neo-Nazi mystic, known as “Putin’s Rasputin”, switched cars last minute on Saturday while leaving an event he and Darya had attended as guests of honour.

The pair were set to leave the Tradition family festival at the Zakharovo estate together when he hopped into another vehicle, according to violinist and pal Peter Lundstrem.
Darya, a political analyst and editor of pro-Russia publication United World International, was instead ambushed by a deadly detonation in the jeep, Gazeta reports.
She is said to have been killed instantly in the shock blast on the outskirts of Russia’s capital, near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy.
The controversial public figure is believed to have been travelling in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado when the vehicle erupted in flames.
Devastated Alexander was pictured arriving at the scene of the incident in horror, holding his head in his hands as he looked on.
The jeep, believed to belong to Darya, was seen engulfed by a devastating fire while emergency services desperately try to extinguish it.
Just hours earlier, she had been pictured strolling through the prestigious event with her father, the philosopher known as “Putin’s Brain”.
Shocked bystanders also appear to survey the scene in the chilling video that was shared to Telegram channels Baza and 112.
Cars were seen driving over the debris of what is believed to be Darya’s vehicle as they navigated the busy road.
The self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic leader Denis Pusilin claimed Alexander was the intended target for the bomb.
He confirmed the philosopher’s daughter had died before quickly pointing the blame at “terrorists of the Ukrainian regime”.
Local media quickly labelled the reportedly fatal car bomb as an assassination attempt on the Russian author.
Darya’s father is a close pal and advisor to the Russian President, sparking rumours he has been a key influence in Putin’s strategy.
As well as Alexander facing intense scrutiny, Darya was also reprimanded by the West for her publication UWI spreading misinformation.
She was placed on the sanctions list by the UK and the US back in April for running a “platform for Russian ultra-nationalists to spread disinformation and propaganda.”
The analyst appeared in an interview with Russian YouTuber Nikolai Rosov in March and branded the West and Europe as “totalitarian racists, colonialists, and Nazis.”

She staunchly supported the invasion of Ukraine, calling for “absolute unity” in her country, adding: “No [other] voices are allowed.”
Her father is said to pull the puppet strings of Russian politics – just like Rasputin – and his ideas are even suspected to have influenced Putin.
He co-founded the National Bolshevik Party in 1993, before becoming a prominent fascist figure while spouting his political beliefs.
Alexander was a firm supporter of Putin when he became President and is said to have later become the silent advisor of the despot.
The West believe that the political guru was also the brain’s behind Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Sporting a massive bedraggled beard like his namesake, Alexander long called for an invasion of Ukraine and chillingly believes that Moscow has the right to rule over all of Europe and Asia.
His writings – which have been required reading for Russian soldiers – proclaim a paranoid worldview promoting his demand for Moscow control everything “from Vladivostok to Dublin”.
He is most famous for his 1997 book Foundations of Geopolitics, which sets out his ultranationalist and neo-fascist ideology of Neo-Eurasianism.
The academic believes Russia is the modern-day reincarnation of the ancient “Hyperboreans” – who need to stand at odds with the modern-day “Atlanteans”, the United States.
Experts have warned the current war in Ukraine could have granted Alexander a “new field for influence” over the Kremlin.
