Russian special military operation in Ukraine #41

I mean guys are being killed everyday so at the end of the day, Tatarsky easily could have been in this situation when he was fighting with the militias

Given his background, he's lucky to have survived the first round of fighting anyway

He was a bank robber , who served prison time, when the ATO reached his prison he escaped and took up weapons fighting in donbass

Then he became some kind of war correspondent

The guys analysis was from the eyes of a coal mining , militia guy

He was close to the conflict but he didn't really know anything that the MOD or General Staff did, much less even officers in the military

Tatarsky was like Dugina, a target of opportunity which in the end, changes nothing

While sad, Tatarsky and Dugina while metaphysical experts at blogging and reporting on the situation, were definitely not the brains of the SMO or even any real Kremlin contacts

It's sort of like killing random banderites , they don't really hold any importance, it's just bragging rights for people on the fringes of the conflict

** now they're saying some girl from anti war groups in Russia handed the figurine to this other chick who might of known or not what this would lead to

The anti war liberals are just that - irrelevant people who take their frustrations out on a guy like Tatarsky but in general on the fringes of anything important

Is it terror ? Yes, but there is a conflict happening on the border, which hasn't been cleared, so as a citizen be vigilant and aware of surroundings, and try to avoid these gatherings until the Armed forces can get a handle on Ukraine and push them away from the border

Kiev has denied the attack and they are telling the truth. This stuff is hatched at the US embassy by the CIA. The US embassy should be kinzaled. But some say that's an "act of war". No it isn't.

It is still a national insult and should be answered.

This woman was just a CIA mule. She is injured and in custody. She could have been told that it had a long timer in it ot that it was just poison.

Another woman has apparently been detained.

Prigozhin (owner of wagner PMC), who has disappeared from the air since Friday, has reappeared. With good news: BAKHMUT IS TAKEN

“April 2, 2023, 23:00. We hoisted the Russian flag with the inscription "Good memory to Vladlen Tatarsky" and the flag of PMC "Wagner" on the city administration of Bakhmut. Legally Bakhmut is taken. The enemy is concentrated in the western regions

^ The culprit was a CIA mule. What's the difference ? Why are prominent Russians having these gatherings in public anyway ?

Good, in this case, a retaliatory bomb blast needs to happen in American soil.


Russia's response to this terrorist attack needs to be prompt and horrific in order to send a strong signal to both NATO and Ukrainian perpetrators.


The retaliatory response will have two components, A direct strike in Kiev, and another indirect strike in NATO territory.


The strike in Ukranian territory will be more straightforward, lob a couple of FOBS, Thermobaric or Kinzhals in decision-making centers in Kiev, wipe out a couple of Ukranian politicians or government figures in near and far away regions. The purpose of the strike is to remind the Ukrainians that Russia has the capability to kill anyone in Ukraine if the Russians wish to.



The second part of the retaliation will be similar to the attack in Saint Petersburg today. A bomb blast, that will target and decapitate a prominent Western/ NATO Pro Ukraine media figure.

I made a quick list of possible targets, of course, more can be added to the decapitation list. Perhaps members of propaganda outlets like the Atlantic council, Bellingcat, etc are fair targets



A bomb attack in Washington, New York, London or any major NATO capital will be enough to give a reminder that Russia is willing to resort to the same dirty tactics by the West and that any further escalation on part of NATO will be met with a similar and more devastating response from Russia.

Looks like Prigozhin has planted the Wagner flag over city center

Bakhmut is taken

Wagner chief declares ‘Bakhmut captured’
Evgeny Prigozhin dedicated the “formal” seizure of the key Donbass city to a killed Russian war blogger

T'was Kyrylo Oleksyovitch Budanov, chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, with his signature once again:

The flag of Russia was hoisted over the administration of Artemovsk, 04.02.2023.

Prigozhin announced the raising of the Russian flag over the administration of Artemovsk in the DPR.

MOSCOW, April 3 - RIA Novosti. A Russian flag was hoisted over the administration of Artemovsk in the DPR with the inscription "Good memory to Vladlen Tatarsky," Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner group, said.

Prigozhin's comment was published in the Telegram channel of his press service.

"On April 2, 2023, at 11:00 p.m., we hoisted the Russian flag with the inscription "Vladlen Tatarsky has a good memory" and the flag of the PMC "Wagner" on the city administration of Artemovsk. Legally, Artemovsk was taken," he said.

At the same time, Prigozhin noted that "the enemy is still concentrated in the western districts of the city."

On Sunday in St. Petersburg , in a cafe on Universitetskaya embankment, an explosion thundered, one person died - war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky (real name - Maxim Fomin). According to the Russian Ministry of Health, another 30 people were injured, 24 of them were hospitalized. A RIA Novosti source reported that the explosive device was brought, presumably, by one of the visitors to the evening, in the box there was a figurine - a gift to Tatarsky. A case was initiated under the article on murder in a generally dangerous way.

Artemovsk is located north of the large city of Gorlovka . It is an important transport hub for supplying the Ukrainian group of troops in the Donbass . Fierce battles have been going on outside the city for more than six months. The supply of the enemy grouping in Artemovsk, which is in operational encirclement, goes through the town of Chasov Yar.

To Those Who Worry About "Optics".
I am talking about the assassination of military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.

"An explosion that rocked the ‘Street Bar’ café in St. Petersburg, Russia on Sunday has claimed at least one life and left 19 people injured, authorities reported. Vladlen Tatarsky (real name Maksim Fomin), a military correspondent and blogger, was killed in the incident, according to emergency services. Tatarsky joined the Donbass militias back in 2014 in the wake of the Maidan coup in Kiev. He has since become known in Russia as a blogger and a correspondent reporting on the situation in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Tatarsky has also authored several books."

Before lamenting "bad optics" and jumping to the conclusions, including knee jerk reaction--how predictable--and calls for "flattening Kiev", how about letting FSB deal with it first. Secondly, and most important, before anyone starts comparing late Daria Dugina to this "blogger", they better get acquainted with his biography, including why he ended up in prison for robbery. But for people in the West who sympathize with early LDNR militias it must be understood that apart from heroism and dedication, corruption, money laundering and other unsightly things have been blooming in LDNR too. With the start of SMO, a huge number of military "correspondents" and bloggers, many of them originally from new Russia's oblasts, started to dominate "narratives", especially through TG channels.
What many forget that among those "patriots", many, including Tatarsky, have been involved in large money collection operations "for the front", and that once Russia started to tighten the noose around those "operations" the "feeding base" for this type of "activists" shrank dramatically. I omit here the fact that most of those "bloggers" and "voenkors" have zero military education and many are what Saker called them a "sixth column", and many are straight defeatists or, like low lives Sladkov or Podolyaka, are completely off the rails.  Tatarsky fits perfectly this very same group, which has some serious issues between them in terms of monetary issues--competition. So, keep this fact in mind and, please, stop idealizing LDNR, where even today the remnants of the "old guard" are being removed due to their corruption and inability to get incorporated into Russia's administrative structures--a "heritage" of Ukraine. There is a reason why I do not read TG channels and bloggers, unless people ask to react, except for official TGs (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs), or get information from people whom I know as extremely reliable, honest and professional.

“Those who compare Tatarsky to Dugina…”

Just stop. Both were close. Both were on the same side. Both killed by terrorist means. 

Anything else is just demagogy. Easy to shit on dead person. Ukrainian behaviour. 


Flatten kiev? Why not to start with their media buildings, politicians, their propagandists? “No, Russia won’t fall for this”

It's probably more common to empty the autoloader magazine than you think with tanks commonly being employed as SP artillery.

To Those Who Worry About "Optics".

That would be her father.
He was the one who combined both, and called "new saints".
You know where to carry credits.

Advice for all posters here and elsewhere in forums , some may remember me saying that I and my family have been subject to surveillance and harassment here in the UK , certainly by UK elements or even Iranian elements working with them , and also Ukrainian elements and even special forces elements here ( SS ) , who hacked my Amazon account and another posting a letter through my letter box , saying I am on surveillance live online , and surely GCHQ , which in response to me typing continuously " f****k the MI5.. " in my Google browser , sent me a warning " ..your internet can be cut off ! " And last but not least the " Ukrainian " women who was moved in next door to me , who was never in , to accept her parcels and subsequently the postman asking me to accept a parcel , and even once commenting " ..oh ! her name sounds Russian , you know ( knowing I have some interest in Russia ) etc ....

The objective seems to be to dissuade me from posting , by harassment or framing me in a crime , or even to get me to go back , where I could be silenced ! Since they can not extradite me , and I am a British citizen ! I am thinking now , they could go further , what is inside these parcels that they insist I receive ? Take care out there , especially about females getting close to you , or people suddenly becoming interested in you and strangely sharing interests........

@Nomadski

Not a good idea to except any parcels from your new Ukrainian neighbour

PS - you shouldn't be using "Google" anyway

Ahhh, martyanov being the ever eternal shill for the worthless potbelly retards, never shying from insulting the memory of LDNR martyrs.

Vladlen was one of the only guys funding FPV drone manufacturing and training, while potbellies were content with ukrainians destroying tors with FPVs. Vladlen was telling the truth rather than martyanov's endless excuses and coping about imminent counterattacks and that the ukraine is just a few more weeks away from getting defeated, and about russian "military educated" potbelly 5D chess.

In short martyanov is worthless scum, and so are you for insulting Vladlen tatarskiys memory
