Regarding the explosion in #Prigozhin's cafe and the death of #Tatarsky, enough is already known: anti-war activist Darya Trepova, who allegedly claimed to be working for "Ukrainian journalists" and planned to emigrate, carried out the task – 1/
she brought a statuette to event Z, where one of the most famous pro-war bloggers performed. It cannot be excluded that she did not know about the bomb, although she probably consider that option. 2/
Her subsequent actions suggest that no one had prepared her for a quick escape after the attack, which means she may have been used unwittingly. 3/
Special services, of course, immediately recorded #Navalny's organisation (FBK) as accomplices – now all participants in anti-war actions automatically become potential terrorists in the eyes of not only law enforcement agencies but also the "patriotic" public. 4/
This will undoubtedly work to exacerbate the social divide.

What happened shows how vulnerable active advocates of war are today. I don't think there will be a large-scale reaction from the authorities: as experience shows, the #Kremlin is more inclined to make such situations a matter of routine. 6/
That is, in the end, we will face the routinization of terrorist attacks, which will undoubtedly become one of the factors of domestic political destabilization. 7/
