A house design heavily inspired by the "White Palace" or "Livadia" which was built for the last Russian Imperial Family in the Crimea of the Ukraine between 1909-1911, designed by the architect Nikolai Krasnov.

Under the cut:

Russian authorities said Sunday they had opened a murder investigation after the daughter of influential, ultra-nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin was killed by a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow

Ukraine has denied involvement in the death of Darya Dugina amid fears the car bombing raises the stakes in the Russia-Ukraine war

Russian missiles hit Ukraine's Odesa region as war nears half-year mark

According to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, the Russian command has closed the sky in certain sections of the Lipetsk, Voronezh, and Belgorod regions from Aug. 22 until Aug. 25

“Russian authorities said Sunday they had opened a murder investigation after the daughter of influential, ultra-nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin was killed by a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow.

The Russian Investigative Committee said it believed someone planned and ordered the car explosion that killed Darya Dugina, based on evidence already collected from the blast. “Taking into account the data already obtained, the investigation believes that the crime was pre-planned and was of an ordered nature,” the investigative committee said in a statement Sunday.

Dugina died at the scene after “an explosive device, presumably installed in the Toyota Land Cruiser, went off on a public road and the car caught fire” at around 9.00 p.m. local time on Saturday, near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemy, according to the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee, as reported by the Russian state news agency TASS.

Dugina’s father is a Russian author and ideologue, credited with being the architect or “spiritual guide” to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He is purported to have significant influence over Russian President Vladimir Putin and was described as “Putin’s Brain” by Foreign Affairs magazine.

Both Dugin and his daughter have been sanctioned by the United States. The United Kingdom sanctioned Dugina in July for being “a frequent and high-profile contributor of disinformation in relation to Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine on various online platform,” it wrote.

Videos of the explosion showed a vehicle on fire at the side of the road and smashed car parts strewn across the surrounding area. One unverified video appears to show Dugin at the scene.

A friend of Dugina told TASS that he believed Dugina’s father was the true target of the blast – or possibly both of them – as the car belonged to Alexander.

“It’s her father’s car,” Krasnov told TASS. “Dasha (Darya) drives another car, but she drove his car today, and Alexander went separately,” Andrei Krasnov, head of the Russky Gorizont (Russian Horizon) social movement and a personal acquaintance of Dugina’s family, told TASS.

A Russian foreign ministry official implied that Ukrainian state structures were responsible for the explosion, a claim that Ukrainian authorities have denied.“-via CNN

“Ukraine has denied involvement in the death of Darya Dugina amid fears the car bombing raises the stakes in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s top adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, said in a televised statement that Ukraine had no involvement in the death of Dugina, the daughter of Putin confidant Alexander Dugin.

Podolyak told Ukrainian TV: “I confirm that Ukraine, of course, had nothing to do with this because we are not a criminal state, like the Russian Federation, and moreover we are not a terrorist state.”

He appeared to blame internal power struggles between “various political factions” in Russia for the killing, and suggested the incident was the “Karmic” payback for supporters of Russia’s actions in Ukraine like Dugina and her father.”-via The Guardian

Livadia Palace was the summer retreat of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, and his family in Livadiya, Crimea.Formerly granted to Lambros Katsonis and later a possession of the Potocki family, the Livadia estate became a summer residence of the Russian Imperial family in the 1860s, when architect Ippolito Antonovich

Monighetti built a large palace (the Grand Palace),a small palace (Maliy Palace) and a church there. The residence was frequented by Tsar Alexander II of Russia, while his successor Tsar Alexander III used to live (and died) at the Maliy Palace.His son Tsar Nicholas II decided to have the Grand Palace demolished and replaced with a larger structure. (The smaller palace was preserved, as the place of his father's death, but was later destroyed during World War II.)

Around 1909, Nikolay Petrovich Krasnov, Yalta's most fashionable architect, responsible for the grand ducal residences in Koreiz, was engaged to prepare plans for a new imperial palace. The Tsar's diary indicates that the design was much discussed in the Imperial Family; it was decided that all four façades of the palace should look different. After 17 months of construction, the new palace was inaugurated on 11 September 1911.

Livadia Palace was the place Tsar Nicholas ll chose to retire to after his abdication and the forming of the new government of Russia.

"On the 5th of October I decided to go to lunch and to breakfast in Livadia, where I celebrated the birthday of the prince (Felix Sr?). In general, Livadia is very beautiful, and directly surprised at the rapid execution of such a huge and complex work! The Emperor is delighted and says that he blesses Krasnov's name. The latter, of course, was also at the celebration, and more than ever stuttered! He received the title of courtier architect, portraits of the Emperor, the Empress and all the children with a touching inscription, and in full ecstasy! There are, of course, many errors and details that can not be overlooked, quand on a le gout (Having a subtle taste}, but all this is fixable and, perhaps, will be fixed someday. The courtyard is very beautiful, and our gate is wonderful how good! The Emperor talked with me for a long time and asked me About you. She (Empress Alexandra Feodorovna) for a long time stood, talked with everyone and, of course, since almost all the time lies!" Letter from Princess Zenaida Youssoupoff to her son, Prince Felix Youssoupoff dated October 14, 1911.
