Explosion at Lecture of Pro-Putin “Cheerleader” Leaves 30 Injured

Tatarsky, whose real name is Maxim Fomin, gave a lecture there in front of around 100 guests. 30 of them were injured in the explosion. Guests seated in the front rows of the event suffered the worst injuries.

Bomb is said to have been hidden in a gift

A video shows Tatarsky being presented with a golden bust that a woman had brought him. The explosion occurred about five minutes after this scene. The woman is said to have fled. The search for her started immediately. A woman in her 20s was arrested. However, it is still unclear whether it is really the perpetrator.

Vladlen Tatarsky was known as “Putin Cheerleader”.

Tatarsky, who was killed, had stood by President Vladimir Putin in the war of aggression against Ukraine. This earned him the nickname “Putin’s Cheerleader”. His propaganda was followed by more than 500,000 people on the Telegram news service. Now he died while presenting his view of things. The event was organized by a group called Cyberfront Z. The bar is said to belong to the head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin.
