A car bomb like this doesn't make sense for Putin though, because it's unreliable and a he has lot better means at his disposal against someone like Dugin. This also doesn't seem like something that would get sympathy from the masses.
In fact it's somewhat of an embarrassment for Putin. Protection is a major reason why people flock to strong men like Putin.
So yeah, I would chalk it up as a Russian internal thing of some sort. Definitely a sign that Putins grip on power isn't absolute.
It's even possible this RNRA is a roughly what it says it is, a legit anti-Putin movement.
Let's remember there's already been a string of attacks against the recruitment offices in Russia (although with afaik only material damages so far), so this isn't the first sign of violent internal resistance to Putin.

There appears to be very little sense and very little gain for either Ukraine or Putin to blow Dugina. She's nowhere near significant to justify a false flag. She's not important military to bother for Ukraine. I'm leaning more towards the murder being carried out by some lesser gangs for somewhat petty reasons rather than a part of some global political plot.
