* [US] state department says it does not want to close off pathways for Russian dissidents and victims of human rights abuses to get visas to go to the US.*
I agree with this decision, but I can't tell from the article where the US will draw the line in giving visas to Russians. Do you have to be an active dissident or demonstrably persecuted, or is it enough to have no special connection with the government?
*Duo found guilty over plot to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.*

Who set the car bomb in Alexander Dugin's car?
Ukraine's "false flag" accusation seems implausible to me. A Russian false flag operation would not target Putin's friend, or the friend's daughter.
Russia's claims about a Ukrainian underground bomber seems implausible to me, for the reasons stated in the article. They make more sense as disinformation.

The underground anti-Putin group possibility seems more plausible than those.
