DETAILS TO FOLLOW Navalny, an anti-corruption campaigner and opposition figure, founded the FBK in 2011. The organization was labeled by the authorities as ‘extremist’ and banned in Russia in 2021. Navalny is currently serving a prison sentence for an embezzlement conviction. He accused Russian officials of trying to poison him after suddenly falling ill on a domestic flight in 2020. The Kremlin denied any involvement in the incident.
Witnesses told Russian media that the young woman attended Tatarsky’s event and gave him a figurine as a gift shortly before the blast.
A Donbass native, Tatarsky joined the local forces that fought against Ukrainian troops in the wake of the 2014 coup in Kiev. He later built a career as a prominent blogger, covering the Russia-Ukraine conflict on his Telegram channel.
Last year, the Russian authorities claimed that Kiev was behind a car bombing near Moscow that killed journalist Darya Dugina. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky denied that his country played a role in her death.
