A prominent Russian nationalist writer has been wounded in a car bombing that killed his driver, an attack that Russia immediately blamed on Ukraine and the west.
Zakhar Prilepin’s Audi Q7 was blown up in a village in the Nizny Novgorod region, about 250 miles (400km) east of Moscow, said the state investigative committee, which is treating the incident as an act of terrorism. It said Prilepin had been taken to hospital.
