Will the next Russian woman hand a bomb to Putin the Terrible! A sigh of relieve would be heard around the world.
"A young Russian woman was jailed for 27 years on Thursday for delivering a bomb that exploded in the hands of a pro-war military blogger last year and killed him on the spot.
Darya Trepova, 26, was convicted by a St Petersburg court of terrorism, handling explosives and using forged documents in connection with the death of blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.
She showed no visible emotion in response to the sentence, which Russian media said was the [longest] given to any woman in the country's modern history. ...
Trepova said she had been set up, and had thought the statuette contained a listening device, not a bomb. ...
The defence said Trepova too was a victim because, sitting only several metres from Tatarsky, she could herself have been killed or wounded. ..."
"... The former bank robber-turned blogger died when a bomb concealed in a statuette of his likeness that was handed to him in a St. Petersburg, Russia, cafe last April exploded. More than 50 people were injured in the blast, authorities said. ..."
