On 21 August 2022, exiled former parliamentarian
Ilya Ponomarev read aloud a manifesto of the
National Republican Army (NRA) calling for armed action against the regime. The manifesto was released following the
killing of Darya Dugina, for which the NRA also issued a claim of responsibility. Ponomarev endorsed both the assassination and the manifesto. The following day, the Russian Action Committee
blacklisted Ponomarev from attending the Free Russia Congress on grounds that he had "called for terrorist attacks on Russian territory". The Committee's statement also implied that Dugina was a "civilian" who do not take part in the armed confrontation, and condemned denunciations of Alexandr Dugin following the attack as "a demonstrative rejection of normal human empathy for the families of the victims". ==See also==
