"Unleashing the Walking Bomb: The Tragic Transformation"
The husband of Darya Trepova, charged with the murder of pro-Kremlin blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, publicly appealed to Kyiv-based journalist Roman Popkov, accusing him of orchestrating Tatarsky's assassination and tricking Trepova into delivering the bomb that killed him. Trepova's husband pleaded with Popkov to confess and reveal how he or his associates convinced Trepova to unknowingly hand Tatarsky the explosive device hidden in a small bust. Tatarsky was killed in a St. Petersburg cafe in April 2023, and Trepova, who opposes the war in Ukraine, maintains she was framed and unaware of the bomb. Roman Popkov, a former leader of a banned political party, denies involvement in the murder and claims he only knew Trepova through social media.
