Alexander Dugin is considered the brain of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is said that Dugin was the one with the master plan of annexing Ukraine by invasion. The Twitterati have been recently revving up a storm about the death of Dugin’s daughter Darya Dugina. But why is that? This is because Darya Dugina died in a car explosion, meaning it was not a natural death. Recently, the blame for this has fallen upon Ukrainian mother Natalia Vovk who recently moved to Russia with her daughter. But who is Natalia Vovk and was she actually responsible for the car explosion that killed Darya Dugina?

Natalia Vovk – Wiki | Bio | All Details

  • Date of Birth: 1979
  • Place of Birth: Mariupol, Donetsk region of Ukraine
  • Social Media: A deleted profile on VKontakte by the name of Natalia Shaban
  • Husband: Andrey Vovk, who also served in the Ukrainian military in the Battle of Donbas
  • Daughter: Sofia Shaban (12 years old)
  • Son: Danil Shaban, who was also born in Mariupol in 2000 (22 years old)
  • Car: She drove a Mini Cooper across the Russia-Ukraine border on 23 July 2022

Natalia Vovk is a 43 year old Ukrainian woman. She lives alone with her one daughter. According to recent reports, her daughter is just about 12 years old. Moreover, she recently moved to Russia from Ukraine, which raises more eyebrows. Inside reports also indicate that Natalia Vovk was an ex-military who was deployed in the National Guard of Ukraine. She was supposedly a member of the elite Azov Battalion of Ukraine, which fought fiercely against Putin’s invasive forces. Unsurprisingly, this Azov Battalion is considered an extremist terrorist group by Russian forces. According to the Russian Federal Service (FSB), Natalia’s original name was Natalia Shaban, which she changed to Natalia Vovk once she arrived in Russia on 23 July 2022.

Reports of the FSB suggest that Natalia lived in the same building as Darya Dugina and closely watched all her movements. While the Azov Battalion of Ukraine deny any connections with Natalia Vovk or the previous Natalia Shaban, others claim that she was actually a part of Russian separatist advocates.

Russia’s Take on Natalia Vovk

Russia previously assumed that the bomb blast was meant for Russia’s modern Rasputin-esque figure Alexander Dugin. But the FSB now claims that the real plot was indeed to kill Dugin’s daughter. Internal reports from the Kremlin suggest that this was a way for Ukraine to destabilize Russia. By attacking the families of Putin’s inner circle, Ukraine wanted to instill fear in the Russian bureaucrats so they would end their invasion of Ukraine. Since Ukraine has not been successful yet to thwart the advances of the Russian forces in its country, it has resorted to this guerilla tactic to defend itself. The FSB also believes that Natalia Vovk tailed Darya around town in the same Mini Cooper that she entered Russia in. However, Natalia made sure to switch number plates now and then to avoid detection. This only proves that Natalia Vovk was no ordinary terrorist but a highly trained and precise spy.

Takeaway

Whatever be the case, Natalia Vovk is now an international fugitive. The forces of the FSB and KGB are actively chasing her down to bring her in for interrogation. Some reports suggest that the has escaped into Estonia with her daughter Sofia and has started a new life. This means, catching Natalia will be an enormous task now for the Russian secret service and federal service. Meanwhile, Alexander Dugin still mourns the loss of her only daughter at the ripe age of 30 years only. Dugin says, no amount of searching for the culprit can bring his daughter back, but vows to exact his revenge on the murderer(s) of his daughter.
