Tatarsky's murder is the second assassination on Russian soil of a figure closely connected to the conflict in Ukraine.
Ukraine, which did not take responsibility for Sunday's attack, blamed"domestic terrorism" for the murder of Maxim Fomin, a Russian military blogger and cheerleader for Russia's invasion of Ukraine who called himself Vladlen Tatarsky.
Footage of the moment the blast ripped through the cafe released by the Fontanka.ru news outlet showed a powerful explosion that shook the length of the ground floor venue, bringing down parts of its exterior terrace in the process. Mourners braved a snowstorm to lay flowers outside the cafe where he was killed, with many saying they were upset and angry. Some Russian commentators said the bombing was the latest sign that violence related to the war in Ukraine is increasingly spilling onto Russian territory.
In the interior ministry video, Trepova confessed to giving Tatarsky the figurine packed with the explosives that killed him, but declined to say immediately who had given her the statue."Can I tell you later?" she is heard saying.
