Around 10.40 in the morning of May 6, a car Zakara Prilepin, a writer and one of the main ideologists of a military operation in Ukraine, was blown up in the village of Pionersky Nizhny Novgorod Region. At the time of the explosion in the car, along with Prilepin, his driver Alexander Shubin was with the call sign “Evil” - he died on the spot.
“Alexander was 27 years old, since 2014, a native of Lugansk served in the Prilepin battalion, and later moved to permanent residence to Russia. Today he accompanied the writer from his trip to the Donbass, ”Ksenia Sobchak wrote about the deceased, in whose program about Prilepin Shubin was one of the heroes.
The writer himself is now in serious condition, Nizhny Novgorod doctors provide assistance to him - from Pioneer Prilepin by helicopter was transported to the Semashko hospital.
“Zakhar has minor fractures, but there are no threats for his health,” said Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
Prilepin is prepared for surgery in the Nizhny Novgorod hospital. Surgeons decide whether to transfer the writer to Moscow, and while they agree that transportation can be dangerous.
According to the Baza and Mash Telegram channels, Prilepin returned to Moscow from the territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, along the way he had to call into the village of Pionersky Nizhny Novgorod Region in order to leave his daughter from relatives. When the car drove up to the right place, Prilepin began to unload things, got into the car back - and the explosion thundered. His daughter got out of the car just a minute before.
The explosives were hidden under the hood of the Audi Q7 Prilepin car. After the explosion, the car turned upside down, and under it a funnel was formed with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and 0.7 meters deep. RBC with reference to the source writes that the explosive device could be placed when Prilepin got out of the car to eat in a cafe where he stopped along the road.
The responsibility for the attempt on politicians has already taken on a certain “military movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars“ Atesh ”. At the same time, the organization had already been seen in the distribution of fake videos with staging “promotions”.
The writer's wife Maria Prilepina told Izvestia reporters that he has been constantly threatened for many years. “We have been living in this state for many years,” she said, while noting that there were no threats before this explosion.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case of Art. 205 of the Criminal Code (terrorist act).

“The police detained a man who could be involved in the undermining of the car in which Zakhar Prilepin was detained in hot pursuit,” said Irina Volk, representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
REN TV with reference to the source writes that the police detained a 30-year-old resident of the Nizhny Novgorod region, who "recently received Russian citizenship." At the same time, the security forces work out the version that several people may be involved in the terrorist attack.

“I controlled a unit that killed people in large quantities. ... Rarely someone could compare with my battalion. All that we did is complete golly lawlessness. It’s just that we did ... And it especially mixes me due to the fact that I am especially a lot of raids on me because I am a fake field commander. No one, not a single field commander had as many results as I am, ”Prilepin proudly said in an interview with“ editorial office ”*.
