In Russian St. Petersburg, an explosion occurred in a cafe. The blast killed Russian propagandist Vladlen Tatarsky.
The Kremlin could use the assassination of propagandist Vladlen Tatarsky in St. Petersburg to increase censorship, as well as tighten population control. This was announced on Sunday, April 2, in the ISW report.
Analysts point out that in March 2023, the FSB conducted raids on bars in Moscow and St. Petersburg, alleging that individuals in these bars allegedly provide financial assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and involve minors in “anti-social activities.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin then ordered the FSB to step up counterintelligence measures and stop the spread of pro-Ukrainian ideology.
“The high-profile killing will scare people away from attending such events. This attack could also be an attempt by the authorities to intimidate other bloggers associated with PMC Wagner,” admitted the analysts.
In the middle of St. Petersburg on Sunday, April 2, there was an explosion in a cafe that once belonged to the founder of PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin. As a result of the explosion, the “military commander” Vladlen Tatarsky died.
Remember, on March 30, in Russia, security forces detained a US citizen, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, Evan Gershkovich. The FSB accused him of “spying on a Russian military-industrial complex enterprise.” The court remanded the journalist in custody until May 29.
