Pro-Russian military blogger killed by an explosion in St. Petersburg cafe
Prominent pro-Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in an explosion in St. Petersburg on Sunday, according to Russian media.
Tatarsky was participating in an event at a cafe in Russia's second-largest city when he was killed. Russian media says a woman gifted him a figurine at the event that exploded a few minutes later, killing him and injuring 15 others.
Tatarsky was a major proponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Tatarsky had traveled to the front lines of Russia's war in Ukraine multiple times. He had also visited the Kremlin in 2022 and filmed himself speaking about Russia's right to conquest.
"We will defeat everyone, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone as necessary. Just as we like it," he said at the time, according to the BBC.
