Russian investigators have detained a woman in the hunt for the killers of pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in a blast at a St Petersburg cafe.

In video released by authorities - most likely recorded under duress - Darya Trepova is heard admitting she handed over a statuette that later blew up.

A video circulating on social media showed a young woman in a brown coat apparently entering the cafe with a cardboard box.

Images showed the box being placed on a table in the cafe before the woman sat down. Another video showed a statue being handed to Tatarsky.

Russia's anti-terrorism committee alleged the attack was organised by Ukrainian special services "with people co-operating with" opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

CNN showed the security camera video of her entering the building carrying a box about the right size. She’s toast.

As my grandmother used to say, “Beware of Russian babes bearing gifts:

Mug shot.

Beware any Babe who isn’t really a woman.

Remember the Crying Game. 😆😂

Journalists have been targets for murder cor years now.

This is nothing new.

Looks like a well fed Audrey Hale.

Better hope and pray the CIA had nothing to do with this.

And that Putin BELIEVES that NATO/CIA had nothing to do with this.

Ugly war, uglier fight

An anti war activist,
getting a timed or remote detonated bomb through security,
in the most obvious public place in Saint Petersburg that should have tight security,
when the FSB is already on guard for sabotage or assassination?

Did security step out for a cigarette break before the blast?

This fishiness is so fishy what is rotten in Denmark is complaining about the smell.

I suspect it was pretty similar to the way our FBI infiltrates groups, incites violence, provides resources and planning, etc to "right wing" groups. Now the FSB can be more heavy handed against white supremacist anti-war groups.
