Vladlen Tatarsky, 40, who was killed in a bomb attack in St. Petersburg on Sunday, was among Russia's most influential military bloggers.
State media reports suggest that Tatarsky was meeting with members of the public in a pre-arranged event organized by the"Cyber Front Z" movement, a pro-war Telegram society. During the event, a woman reportedly handed the blogger a box containing a small statue. The statue later exploded, killing Tatarsky. Matviyenko described the attack as a"vile explosion."
