The murder of Vladlen Tatarsky. Again we are on the defensive
It so happened that I learned about the death of Maxim Fomin in the early morning, about six hours after the terrorist attack. Vladlen Tatarsky, under such a pseudonym Fomin worked, was killed during a creative evening in a cafe in the center of St. Petersburg. According to authorities, at 18:15, a figurine exploded next to Maxim, which had been handed over three minutes earlier to one of the visitors.
How events would develop further became clear almost immediately. Our version is a terrorist attack from Ukrainian saboteurs, Ukrainian-local disassembly of Russian mafiosi. It was from the Ukrainian media that I learned that the cafe where the creative evening was held allegedly belongs to Prigozhin. They are trying very rudely to cast a shadow on Wagner as well. In short, there are many versions and, as usual, the exchange of accusations without any evidence.
What immediately caught my eye was the choice of the victim. Unlike Daria Dugina, Fomin was not a sinless person. We are not all ideal. And he too. For Russian society, Dugina immediately became a martyr who died for the victory of common sense in Ukraine. With Vladlen Tatarsky, this will not work. The figure is too contradictory.
I do not want to write badly about the deceased. And I don't have the right to. I do not know personally, did not encounter anywhere. But I closely follow social networks and I know about the criticism of Tatarsky by the participants in some fights. On direct accusations of inaccurate description of events. About the "pre-war" past. My position in these disputes is neutral. It is not for me to judge the nuances of the battles, which are known only to the participants in the events.
Judging by the way our law enforcement officers describe the crime scene, according to the photos and video materials posted in the public domain, the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber. Moreover, if the version with the exploding bust of the Tatar Verne, it is quite possible that the woman was used in the dark. That is why she was among the victims of the explosion.
This means that this assassination is not an isolated operation by the JRG. Alas, we have to admit that the numerous threats from the heads of the security forces of Ukraine look like the truth. In our rear, a spy network really exists and has already begun to operate. Petersburg is not only a large metropolis, but also a city with a fairly powerful anti-terror system. Local specialists are well trained. Alone to prepare a terrorist attack is stupid and dangerous.
Look how happy Ukrainian bloggers write about the crime. Although that was also predictable. In my opinion, this is one of the goals of such crimes. Public response! All these cries about "long arms", about the omnipotence of Ukrainian specialists, for whom there are no insurmountable barriers, about the inevitability of punishment for traitors to Ukraine - this is already a victory for Kyiv.
Russians should be afraid!
Another goal is also known. It is also widely voiced in the Ukrainian blogosphere. Russians should be afraid! Be afraid at home, be afraid on the street, be afraid in restaurants and cinemas. So far this hasn't worked. Instead of fear in Russia, the sense of justice of the NWO is becoming more and more stronger. By the way, among Ukrainians I began to notice - too.
Well, the most, probably, the main goal is to intimidate military correspondents. Whatever the relationship between them, whatever departments they work with, but reliable information appears daily. Literally on the news. And such work makes counter-propaganda very difficult.
The once abandoned myth about working only for your audience, “this statement is designed primarily for…” has become a kind of cliché today. The politician said complete nonsense - designed for the local public. But we are discussing.
But back to the death of Maxim. I carefully watched the moment of presentation of the statuette captured on video. Honestly, any, even the most unprofessional security would definitely check this figurine. Even if some media outlets are to be believed, if there were no guards, it is hard to believe that people literally living in war would not be alarmed by an unusual, previously unplanned presentation of some kind of gift.
The list, the first number in which is the name of Oles Buzina, is growing. Motorola, Givi, Zakharchenko, Dugina, now here is Fomin. This is not a complete list of victims of Ukrainian saboteurs. There are also local level workers in Donbass cities, there are police officers, special services officers, public utilities workers and others. For some reason, we do not understand the danger.
Moreover, I’ll probably write a seditious thought now, but according to the sensations from comparing the murder of Dugina and the murder of Fomin, it seems to me that either the same group acted, or the actions of the saboteurs were directed from one center. And this center is here, with us.
I understand the resentment of Russian citizens from new regions. They want everything, immediately and quickly. And we want. That is why we all “forget” that among the hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of new citizens, there may be a saboteur who is thus officially legalized in Russia and becomes simply “invisible” to the special services.
That is why we must admit at least to ourselves that we are again on the defensive. We are again in a losing position. We hit the tails. We are again looking for spies, instead of taking or destroying them at the moment of crossing the border. The enemy, as shown by the terrorist attacks, is well prepared and dangerous.
And so, we will continue to listen at the next annual meeting of Ukrainian specialists with stories about the mass transfer of agents to Russia, their legalization, plastic surgery, changing passport data, changing nationality, and so on.
Hack and predictor Aviator
The murder of Vladlen Tatarsky will not destroy military journalism. And will not intimidate the military correspondents. Rather pissed off. But the man is a pity. Too bad for a talented person. Writer, military correspondent, blogger, combatant in both the DPR and the LPR. I will not write platitudes about eternal memory, about "a name that does not die for centuries" and so on.
Of course, the name of Maxim Fomin will stand next to the names of those who died for the liberation of Donbass. But the question of how much longer we will tolerate the existence of Ukrainian saboteurs in our rear remains open.
