Zakhar Prilepin: Russian pro-war blogger injured in car bomb

A prominent Russian writer and pro-war blogger has been wounded by a car bomb, officials say.

Zakhar Prilepin, an vehement supporter of the Ukraine war, was reportedly conscious after the attack in the Nizhny Novgorod region but his driver was killed.

A suspect was detained, the interior ministry said.

It comes a month after another pro-Kremlin blogger, Vladlen Tatarsky, died in a bombing at a St Petersburg café.

Less that two hours after Saturday's attack was reported, the interior ministry said a suspect with previous convictions had been detained near a forest in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

has created somewhere between 100,000 to 1 million terrorists willing to kill or bomb those that supported this war.

I know if some nation invaded the USA and killed my loved ones, especially civilians, the way Russia has killed civilian men, women, and children in Ukraine... nothing on this earth would stop me from trying to kill as many war supporters in the invading nation as possible.

Not very peacenik of me, I know. But there it is.
