Daughter Dugina

On Saturday evening, in the suburbs, about 30 km from the Moscow Ring Road, a car exploded , which was driven by 29-year-old Daria Dugina-the daughter of the ideologist of Eurasianism and the “Russian world” Alexander Dugin. She died on the spot. The incident is investigated as "a murder committed in a generally hazardous way." On Saturday, Dugin and his daughter participated in the “Family Festival” “Tradition” , organized by the hot adherents of the war, director Boyakov and writer Prilepin: in his lecture, Dugin explained to the audience what sacred cosmos and why tradition is anti -historia. Dugins should have returned to Moscow together, but in the end, the father for some reason drove in another car after his daughter.

Daria Dugina was born in a family of philosophers and he herself became a philosopher, was engaged in neoplatonism (specifically prison) and at the same time played a flute in her own electronic group Dasein May Refuse. Then, however, she turned into a political scientist-commentator in the pro-Kremlin propaganda media and a press secretary of her own father. She led the Platonova telegram channel, on February 24, she rejoiced at the war, and in mid-June she went to Mariupol to participate in the propaganda report and feel “New Russia” as “the space of philosophical meaning” (which one is not clear, because the meanings are still “forming” there). The text of the dissertation by Dugina about the prison in the network is not available, but here are excerpts from her reasoning and articles of recent years.

It is not known who is behind the murder of Daria Dugina. Russian supporters of the war blame Ukrainians (Kiev rejects their involvement), other commentators - domestic Russian forces, from the FSB to the partisans who appeared from nowhere; However, everyone unanimously predict the strengthening of terror in Russia. Western media often call Dugin the ideologist of Putin, while the Zamremlin sources of Medusa unanimously say that he personally does not play any role, and they learned about the existence of the daughter of Dugin as an independent figure only from the news of her death.

"Monstrous projects of fascist Germany"

In the Patriot Park near Moscow, an organized Ministry of Defense of Russia was held by the Army -2022 Forum: the program included shooting, indicative flights of aviation, master classes to assist a person with a torn foot, an exhibition of enemy military equipment and even an installation about “Nazi education” in Ukraine ( here are photographs ). But what is the main thing, within the framework of the forum, the International Anti -Fascist Congress was held with the participation of Shoigu and the deputy chairman of the State Duma of Irina Yarova: they explained to guests from “friendly countries” (which are not known from which) that the main Nazis today are not even Ukrainians, but the USA and the European Union. Why, it’s not easy to understand, but “hundreds of secret military laboratories around the world” were mentioned, which continue “monstrous projects of fascist Germany”.

The Higher School of Economics launches in the new academic year the course on promotion for journalist students. Four -year students will be listened to in the process, and they will be taught to “build their own propaganda schemes and structures”, “to work within the framework of“ white ”,“ gray ”and“ black ”propaganda” and “use the elements of“ penetrating (sociological) “propaganda” in practice.

The head of the CEC Ella Pamfilova told Putin about preparing for the September elections and simultaneously reported to him about the investigation of Medusa, dedicated to 17 millionth stuffing in last year's Duma elections. She did not name the Medusa itself, using the beloved Putin figure of the speech “Those”: the investigation, according to her, was made “those who left the country and dug in the former Soviet Baltic republics that turned into an anti -Russian viper.” Although it would be more beautiful, of course, to say the “Russophobic viper”.

In Moscow, they removed Alexander Zamyatin from the election of a candidate for municipal deputies in Zyuzino. The reason is the post with the Navalny video from 2020 (demonstration of “extremist symbols” retroactively). The Extremist itself noted the second anniversary of attempts to poison with a post, in which he summed up the political results of “unsuccessful spreading of panties“ novice ”.

Otherwise, everything is everyday:

• The Ural nationalists forced to apologize for the Dreg-Keg-Ki-Kiwin Cam Cyberscyhi (she is also an employee of the zoo and a Chechen war veteran Sergey Nechaev) for the fact that during his performance in the local gay club, he performed the Russian anthem with a LGBT flag in his hands.
• The stand-up comic from Vladikavkaz Ariana Lolaev was fined 50 thousand rubles for two anti-war posts (“discredit” of the Russian army).
• The Caro-Film cinema network canceled the re-rental and special order of the film Renata Litvinova North Wind for “reasons beyond its dependent”, which it “cannot comment”. (Litvinova - against the war).
• The leader of the Spleen group Alexander Vasiliev at the Chernozemye festival near Voronezh dedicated the song “There is no way out” to the musicians who had to leave Russia - respectively, the group was removed from the broadcast of the event.
• Here is the story of an activist from Arkhangelsk Anna Stepanova: she had to urgently go abroad when it was found that in the grooming salon, where she works, they installed wiretap (and this was discovered because the wirewater installation masters forgot the adhesive gun in the cabin, which they attached their microphones).

Only two events are breaking out of the everyday life: the home arrest of the former chief narcologist of the Ministry of Health Yevgeny Brun (he is accused of embezzlement of at least 20 million rubles from the Moscow Department of Health during the supply of medical devices at high prices at controlled by journalists of Radio Liberty back in 2019) and the capture of the Kemerovsky Directory No. 1 in prisoners of this. Pre -trial detention center - they demanded a meeting with the prosecutor and the leadership of the FSIN (on what issue is not yet known).

And the war is coming

On Saturday, during the shelling of the Nikolaev region, the Russian missile hit the multi -storey residential building in Voznesensk - at least 12 people were injured, including children. When analyzing the dormitories of the hostel in Kharkov, destroyed by the Russian rocket on the past Wednesday, they found the bodies of three more dead - thus, the total number of those killed in two Kharkov hostels during shelling on August 17 and 18 was 24 people. On Sunday, Odessa region, Nikolaev, Nikopolsky and Krivorozhsky districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region and Kharkov were subjected to shelling - the Ukrainian authorities did not report this time about the victims.

On Saturday morning, reports of explosions near Yevpatoria and Bakhchisarai over the military airfield were distributed in Russian social networks. The Russian authorities claimed that the missiles shot down by the air defense system exploded, and by the evening of Sunday these air defense systems were really discovered in the photographs of the resorts: the S-400 complexes are right on the beach in Yevpatoria. A little later, the drone attacked the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol (the building at least caught fire, but how serious the damage is, it is unclear). According to the American Institute for the Study of War, the blow was inflicted by the heavy civilian drone Skyeye 5000mm Pro UAV, which is freely sold on the Internet. On Saturday, an attempt was made on the “mayor” of the occupied Mariupol (unsuccessful).

On Saturday, the General Staff of the Ukrainian army reported on the broken Russian attacks in almost all directions and said that the Russians were transferring air defense systems to Belarus. On Sunday, there were no changes on the fronts, and Ukrainian intelligence said that employees of the air repair plant in Baranovichi periodically go on business trips in the suburbs, where they are engaged in the repair and commissioning of Russian aircraft.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports the increase in rocket lamps in the Black Sea, warning about the high probability of missile shelling on the Independence Day of Ukraine on August 24. In Kiev, on this day, all mass events were banned , the government quarter was told to work from the house for the whole week, and in Kharkov they announced a commandant hour from the evening of August 23 until the morning of the 25th. British intelligence, for its part, does not believe in any intensification of hostilities this week, but says that in the coming months the initiative will go to the side that will be able to create a motivated offensive group. How Ukraine is trying to create it, it is told here .

The prospects of a nuclear disaster

The former head of the United Command of the British Armed Forces, Sir Richard Barrons, claims in an interview with BBC that the war lasts longer and the further Russia moves in the “integration” of the occupied territories of Ukraine, the more likely the use of tactical nuclear weapons becomes. If the Kremlin decides that the Kherson, Zaporizhzhya regions and Donbass are already Russia, then to attempts to win these territories will be possible, in accordance with the Russian military doctrine, to respond with nuclear blows. It is as if this is understood in Ukraine: new alarm signals are introduced , including chemical and radiation danger, and citizens are instructed what to do in the case of a nuclear strike or an accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (25 thousand pylori potassium tablets have already been brought to Energodar).

The leaders of the United States, Germany, Great Britain and France called for military restraint in the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and to the speedy visit of the object by the IAEA employees. Nevertheless, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that the leadership of the ZAEC, appointed by the Russian army, extended the “short -term weekend” for Ukrainian personnel - most likely, this means that Russia is going to disconnect the nuclear power plants from Ukrainian electric networks. In the process of power supply, the station itself will be maintained due to diesel substations, which increases the risk of critical situations.

In order to collect money for the restoration of an atomic bomb shelter in Zaporozhye, a businessman Maxim Drozdenko ordered a brand with local sculptural attractions in Ukrposhta-a trait-Putin, embracing a dead bullfinch, and speaking a laurel horse. Where did these sculptures come from and that in the city with bomb shelters, Drozdenko himself says here .

The war caused what environmental damage to Ukraine without nuclear explosions is described here .

Other military

• In Kropyvnitsky, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine for the Kirovograd Region, appointed to this position in January this year, was found dead . He probably committed suicide, but why is not yet known.
• The Russian Ministry of Defense accused Kiev of the use of “chemical poisonous substances”, confirmed the hospitalization of the military in the Zaporizhzhya region and even called the poisonous substance: Botulotoxin type “B” (it is found in spoiled canned foods - but they forgot about this to the Russian Ministry of Defense).
• The Ukrainian publication Grati publishes a policeman’s story from the Sumy region about how he spent seven days in Russian captivity (his brother -in -law has not yet returned from this captivity). Journalists went to the places that he talks about, and photographed the cells in which the Russians held the prisoners.
• On the 54th anniversary of the invasion of the troops of the Warsaw Treaty in Czechoslovakia, the prime ministers of the Czech Republic and Slovakia released a joint video in which they said that now, when Russian tanks are walking along Ukrainian land, which is never important to remember August 1968 and with all their might to help Ukraine. In the Czech Republic in social networks, a flash mob was launched with an appeal to transfer the Embassy of Ukraine 1968 or 68 CZK (80 or 2.75 euros) for the purchase of weapons for the Ukrainian army.

Around the world

• Another flash mob turned on the network in support of the Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin, who was criticized because of the video from a private party: women around the world now publish videos, how they dance, drink and have fun with friends.
• In Albania, two Russians and Ukrainian were detained on suspicion of espionage. They photographed at the Gramsha factory, where in Soviet times they produced machine guns, and inadequately reacted to the appearance of a policeman. All detainees are fond of filming abandoned and “strange” objects - these are their stories .
• Here is a photo gallery with other “strange objects”, already demolished or subject to demolition by Soviet monuments in Estonia.
• In the UK, workers of the largest container port are striking - they require an increase in salaries against the background of record inflation; The rating of the German Chancellor Olaf Sholtsa fell to a record low - also against the backdrop of a dysfunctional economic situation.
• In Montenegro, the parliament brought to the government a votum of distrust-but not because of economic difficulties, but because the country's prime minister signed an agreement with the Serbian Orthodox Church. This is where the true spirituality.

Seven links

• The world was saturated with war. A conversation with the Ukrainian artist Nikita Kadan about how reality, its perception and understanding have changed over the six months of the war. Or an interview with the leader “The leg has been reduced!” Max Pokrovsky - about the life of a Russian rocker in a foreign land in war. Or a conversation with the British journalist Martin Bright, who, after the shelling of the Kiev television tower at the beginning of the war, read the book by Anatoly Kuznetsov “Babi Yar” and is now collecting money to install a monument on the writer’s grave in London.
• The history of science. On the 200th anniversary of Egyptology- the stories of the Egyptologist Alexander Loktionov about ten objects from ancient Egypt. Or an article by Julia Guseva, a translator of the “History of the French Revolution”, about Jules Michel and his monumental work - to the release of “History” in Little Men.
• Small stories. An excerpt from the book of Edward Bruka-Khitching “The tossing of foxes and other forgotten and dangerous sports” (Publishing House of UFOs), dedicated to the Netmachis-imitations of marine battles in ancient Rome with the participation of criminals and prisoners of war. Or a story about how old age was in the Middle Ages.

Sincerely yours,
