Russian woman sentenced to 27 years over explosion that killed ultranationalist military blogger
(CNN) — A Russian court has sentenced Daria Trepova to 27 years in prison for the murder of pro-Kremlin blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, who was killed in an explosion at a St. Petersburg cafe last year.
Posted — UpdatedBefore his death, Tatarsky was one of Russia’s most outspoken and ultranationalist military bloggers, known for his ardent pro-war commentary and occasional criticism of Moscow’s battlefield failures.
He was killed in the April 2023 blast, which came during an event at the cafe.
Trepova was arrested soon after on suspicion she had handed over the explosive device, hidden in a statue, to Tatarsky, state media Tass reported at the time.
Trepova’s husband, Dmitry Rylov, told an independent Russian publication that he is convinced she was set up.
