Unraveling the Connections Between Bombings and Crackdowns in Russia and Ukraine

Darya Trepova, a former student of St. Petersburg State University, has been indicted for carrying out a terrorist attack in a St. Petersburg bar that killed Russian war propagandist Vladlen Tatarsky. She is accused of bringing a statuette loaded with explosives into the bar under the orders of individuals operating from Ukrainian territory. Trepova is also accused of illegal possession of explosive devices. The National Republican Army has claimed responsibility for the attack and is calling for aid for "Darya Trepova and other innocent people."
