April 2, 2023

On the evening of April 2, an explosion occurred in a cafe on the Universitetskaya Embankment in St. Petersburg.

How war correspondents and patriotic bloggers reacted to his death – in The Eastern Herald material.

Alexander Khodakovsky, commander of the DPR “Vostok” battalion

Yes…. What can we say here??? Max, if you were nobody, you would die “of vodka and colds”. But you were dangerous to them, you did your job like no one else could. We will pray for you brother.

Yuri Kotenok, military commander

Vladlen was my friend, a long-time author of the analytical department of Donbass, a very interesting, dignified and sincere person. The lines are difficult. Shock.

Boris Rozhin, military analyst (telegram channel colonelcassad )

All life was ahead.
Peace to the ashes.
PS. The SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense have not yet been recognized as terrorist organizations. The legislative cuckolding continues.

Yuri Podolyaka, blogger

As a result of the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg, one of our comrades, an enlisted officer in the army, blogger and writer Maxim Fomin (Vladlen Tatarsky), died.

Roman Alekhin, volunteer

Brother, how are you? Today Russia lost a true patriot who did a lot for victory, but unfortunately he could do a lot more and had no time.

Kristina Potupchik, blogger

Two days since I personally met Vladlen. And now I read in the news that he’s gone. Villement killed in a terrorist attack. I hope it won’t be like in the case of Dugina, when the killers were stupidly missed.
