Russia blames Ukraine for blogger's death
Suspect detained for St. Petersburg blast while Kremlin accuses West of hypocrisy
MOSCOW — Russian authorities blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies on Monday for orchestrating a bombing at a St. Petersburg cafe that killed a Russian military blogger and arrested a suspect accused of involvement in the attack.
Vladlen Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, had 560,000 followers on the messaging app Telegram. He was one of the most prominent of Russia's military bloggers, who supported Moscow's special military operation in Ukraine.
St. Petersburg's governor said that 32 people were wounded and 10 of them were in serious condition.
