..oh the irony…
Vladen Tatarsky, whose real name is Maxim Fomin, was blown to pieces yesterday after a woman, said to be Daria Trepova, 26, entered the cafe in St Petersburg and handed him a small statue of himself that was reportedly laden with explosives.
Tatarsky, 40, a staunch supporter of Putin and his invasion of Ukraine, had been speaking at a political event at the Street Food No 1 cafe when the bomb exploded next to him, killing the propagandist and injuring 32 others.
