Michael Weiss,James Rushton, Yahoo NewsKYIV — An infamous pro-Russian combatant turned propagandist “Vladlen Tatarsky” was killed in an explosion in a St. Petersburg cafe earlier Sunday, in a blast that injured at least 25 others, according to the Russian government.
The fact the alleged perpetrator is currently in hospital raises the prospect she did not know the statue she was gifting to Tatarsky contained a bomb, and was simply an unknowing accomplice. Tatarsky was best known outside of Russia for his extreme rhetoric, calling Ukrainians “brain-damaged Russians,” urging increased attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, and celebrating the massacre of Ukrainian civilians in Bucha. “We'll conquer everyone, we'll kill everyone, we'll loot whoever we need to", Tatarsky said in recording after attending a speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin in October of last year.
The “Street Food Bar No. 1” restaurant, where the group held their regular meetings, was also previously owned by Prigozhin. In a Telegram post published last month, Tatarsky can be seen standing in front of a black pickup truck emblazoned with the black and red logo of the “Reverse Side Of The Medal” Telegram channel, run by figures linked to the Wagner mercenary group.
