On the morning of May 6, the car of writer Zakhar Prilepin exploded in the Nizhny Novgorod region. His security driver died, Prilepin himself was hospitalized. A criminal case has been opened over the terrorist act and a suspect, believed to be a local resident who recently obtained Russian citizenship, has been arrested. Who and how reacted to what happened – in Russian media material.
The Writer’s Wife Maria Prilepina :
“We have lived in this state for many years. There were many threats. There were no specific threats prior to this terrorist attack. In general, they always have been, it’s no secret.
Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev :
“Blowing up Prilepin’s car is a cynical crime and an ignoble attempt by Nazi extremists: the enemy seeks to intimidate us, he chooses true patriots as targets.”
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov (as to whether the Kremlin considers the attack on Prilepin to be a terrorist attack organized by the Ukrainian side):
“Unknown. We need to get information from law enforcement first.
Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova :
“The fact has become reality: Washington and NATO have fueled another international terrorist cell – the Kyiv regime. Bin Laden, ISIS*, now Zelenskyy with thugs. Direct responsibility of the United States and Great Britain. We pray for Zakhar.
Senator Andrei Klisas :
“Zakhar Prilepin – health. Terrorism is evil. Terrorists must be destroyed in place.
Journalist Ksenia Sobchak :
“Prilepin! What ******(((….. I hope the doctors will do all they can to save him….. A terrorist attack is always an abomination and wickedness. From any side.”
Leader of a Just Russia Sergei Mironov :
“It is already evident that this planned and organized terrorist attack is another brazen challenge of the unpunished Ukronazi junta, which works powerfully and rightly in the Russian hinterland, targeting NWO ideologues. This is another confirmation that the NMD must be transferred to a different regime and at a different level, to make it anti-terrorist, and to start working on the leaders of terrorists using the full arsenal of the RF Armed Forces. I urge the country’s military leadership to do so.”
Founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin :
“Now I want to say urgently: Zakhar, thank you for supporting us yesterday and for always supporting us. I hope you are all well. Fingers crossed, as they say, that everything goes well . Wait!
Head of DRP Denis Pushilin :
“Personally, I have no doubt that it is the Ukrainian regime that continues to demonstrate its terrorist nature.”
Head of the Pskov branch of the Yabloko party Lev Shlosberg :

Director FBK** Ivan Zhdanov***:
“Obviously there is a hunt for propagandists.”
Deputy of the State Duma Elena Nikolaeva :
“Absolutely cynical and barbaric act of terrorism, designed to intimidate Russian elites and Russian patriots. An absolutely senseless action, because it will only cause the opposite effect and rally the ranks of the patriots.
Deputy of the State Duma, head of the Union of Volunteers of Donbass Alexandre Boroday :
“The responses to such actions by the Russian Federation are quite obvious. <…> Destroy the source of terror, and the source of terror in this case is the leaders of the terrorist organization “Ukraine”, for example, Vova Zelenskyy.”
Philosopher and publicist Alexander Dugin :
“They don’t hit the officials. They beat us.”
Poetess Anna Dolgareva :
“Turns out he was safer in the LPR. During his service he was never injured, and upon his arrival in Russia he was immediately murdered. »
RT manager Margaret Simonian :
“Zakhar, we are praying for you!

Journalist Anastasia Kashevarova :
“Zakhar, wait, honey. Hunt for enthusiasts. We are very few. And, if I understand correctly, not everything is safe.
Journalist Ilya Shepelin :
“Not approving of such massacres, I would like to ask: why did the Putinist-Bolshevik patriot and war propagandist Prilepin ride an enemy German crossover in the rear, and not sit in a trench near of Bakhmut?”
