Influental Russian Military Blogger Is Killed In St.Petersburg Explosion
| The venue where the explosion took place has links to Wagner mercenary group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and usually hosts a discussion club at weekends called “Cyberfront Z” — Z being a symbol of those supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
St Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov said that 25 people had been injured, with 19 of them hospitalised.
| Tatarsky is(was) one of the most prominent pro-Gremlin “military correspondents”. Last year, his popularity increased after his video from a ceremony at the Gremlin celebrating the annexation of Ukraine’s occupied regions went viral. Tatarsky was shown in it, saying: “We’ll defeat everyone. We’ll kill everyone. We’ll rob everyone we need to. Everything will be as we like it.”
| Tatarsky’s death follows the killing in August last year of Darya Dugina, the daughter of a prominent ultranationalist ideologue, in a car bomb near Moscow.

| I can't believe how brave that woman is. That's a mighty difficult and risky assassination attempt to pull off.
| So, a man that declared that Z would kill everyone rob everyone, was duped and murdered and several people that shared that same ideology were injured. Am I the only one that doesn’t see this as a problem? Anyway…

| Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin and who has more than 560,000 subscribers to his Telegram channel, was meeting supporters and subscribers in a restaurant.
An unknown woman handed Tatarsky a statuette of himself, possibly stuffed with explosives, that exploded about five minutes later. The Ren-TV channel posted a video showing Tatarsky taking the figurine out of a bag and looking at it, film allegedly shot by a social media user directly before the explosion.
