Russian Ambassador summoned to Czech Foreign Ministry over Nebenzy’s words about Dugin

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky summoned Russian Ambassador to Prague Alexander Zmeevsky because of the words of Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya about the murder of journalist Daria Dugina. This is stated by the head of the minister’s Twitter (the social network is blocked in Russia at the request of the prosecutor’s office).

Lipavsky said in a social media post: “I have decided to summon the Russian ambassador to the Czech Foreign Ministry. Deputy Minister Jaroslav Kurfirst strongly objected to Russia’s outrageous and false accusations against the Czech Republic in the UN Security Council.

Czech Defense Minister Yana Chernokhova said that she did not feel sorry for either Daria or her father Alexander Dugin. The minister also added that “the night of August 21 in Russia will be remembered for a long time.” Nebenzia pointed out that such statements serve as “open support and propaganda for terrorist attacks against a civilian.”

Dugina died while returning home from the annual family literary and musical festival “Tradition”. It is not known whether she was the target or her father, who was supposed to ride with her, but at the last moment moved to another car. According to the Kommersant newspaper, after the explosion, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUV lost control, stopped and caught fire. The publication writes that later a badly burned body was found in the cabin. Dugin himself arrived at the crime scene.

On August 23, a farewell ceremony for Daria took place at the Ostankino television center. The farewell ceremony was attended by over 200 people, including LDPR party leader Leonid Slutsky, State Duma Deputy Chairman Sergei Neverov, member of the Public Chamber Ekaterina Mizulina, writer Zakhar Prilepin, TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov, businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Mikhail Degtyarev, media mogul Konstantin Malofeev . Plenipotentiary in the Central Federal District Igor Shchegolev presented Alexander Dugin with the Order of Daughter’s Courage.

Journalist Dmitry Mikhailin, who was present at the Tradition festival, said that the festival participants heard an explosion on the Mozhaisk highway. He himself did not attach any importance to this, since the Alabino tank training ground is located near Zakharovo.
