After a criminal case was opened for “justifying terrorism,” KBR native Zalina Marshenkulova was put on the federal wanted list.

In her Telegram channel “Women’s Power,” Marchenkulova published several posts about Tatarsky’s death, in which she called him a “zombie” and a “bandit,” citing Tatarsky’s quote about the war against Ukraine: “We will defeat everyone, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone we need.” . Everything will be as we like.”
The activist also called sympathy for the death of “a cannibal, an aggressor, a former robber, who supported the murders in Ukraine, which did nothing to anyone, hypocrisy.”
