Russian authorities are blaming Ukrainian government entities and Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny for the bombing.

So let me get this straight. The Ukrainian government sent secret agents to infiltrate the prison cell holding Navalny, who cooked up a plan to assassinate a milblogger, who was associated with Prigozhin?

You can't make this up!

Maybe the more likely culprit is the Kremlin sending a warning to Prigozhin to stop criticising the war...

Russia. What a mess of a country.

Wow, quick work detective. LOOOL!

Process her and investigate who was behind this activity..

Although we already know who it is..

She might as well tell the Russian authorities what she really thinks about them. They will disappear her with a sham trial anyways.

Putin is paranoid someone will get him.

"Terrorists" should be "exterminated like rabid dogs", added Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia's security council.

"Terrorists" should be "exterminated like rabid dogs", added Medvedev, who is Vladimir Putin's pet dog. A job he has because he doesn't tower over Putin like everyone else.

Not to blame the victim, but if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine, would this have ever happened? 100% Putin's fault.

Asymmetric warfare is what you do when the attacker is larger, better funded, and better equipped than you. Too bad the statue couldn't get to the top 10 people pushing this war in Russia.

Not like theUSA, right? Arresting and putting on trial a former president, for revenge and as an attempt to prevent him running for the presidency again.

If you aren't capable of following a legal system, yeah it would look like that. Maybe you assume all of our trials are sham trials like Russia. Btw, lots of countries have put their former leaders on trial.

Where did she gain the technical expertise to plant a bomb inside of a statue?

You don't think it's possible for a 26-year-old woman to gain such expertise?

Of course it's possible.

But, as you said, it's also possible she didn't do this alone. Perhaps even highly likely.

One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.

Of course she was used only and that’s why they hold her now for digging deeper. Even with self-educated expertise she still can’t buy 200g TNT in her nearby supermarket. Also she was afterwards still very nearby the place, something an attacker with complete knowledge wouldn’t do usually. And the FSB, for showing Prigozhin and his Wagners some limits? That’s possible but far from probable, because Putin still needs the Wagner successes, and he himself is a FSB guy and he is also completely surrounded by a lot of them. That would be much too risky for him, if any single one of the cronies had easy access to TNT and then might also use it against him for whatever rage, animosity or political reason. Also they keep the Wagners in check by other methods, sending them in as cannon fodder and drying them out with less newbies and ammo at the frontline, giving only the necessary minimum. But we all still don’t know who’s behind the StPetersburg restaurant attack, let’s wait and see.

I doubt she did this alone.

Yup. Most likely she got FSB help.

Imagine how Garibaldi, Paul Revere or Samuel Adams of Boston Tea Party fame would be painted by today's media.

Putin is just sending a message. That's why it happened in a Prigozhin owned cafe. We can get to you.

Sure, bombing isn't their preferred method, which is poisoning or defenestration.

I saw a video of this young woman giving that 'statue' to the war mongerer, I mean, have any of you ever heard what he said about murdering Ukrainians, anyway, she gave him that statue then sat at the nearest table to him in the room. Hardly the actions of someone who knew there was a bomb right next to her.

When Russians are involved, the truth can be anything. That’s why it's a necessity for Russian to have dash cam.

When they find that it is the Kremlin, then what...?

Russia. What a mess of a country.

Amen. My guess is if the war drags on, Russia will eventually break up into smaller nation states much like the Soviet Union did.

The overwhelmingly recurring theme with the JT anti-Russia armchair generals is mistaking their mistaken hopes for reality.
