Prominent Russian Nationalist Writer Injured in Car Bombing

Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin was injured in a car bomb explosion that killed one person in a village east of Moscow. Prilepin has been a fervent supporter of the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine and has taken part in hostilities alongside pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs said the blast occurred in the western Nizhny Novgorod region, and an explosive device was placed under the car. The Investigative Committee of Russia said it had detained a man who allegedly “planted an explosive device” on Prilepin’s path. The man was acting on orders from the Ukrainian special services, the statement said, but a Crimean partisan group claimed responsibility for the blast.
