Interview of Andrei Medvedev with Zakhar Prilepin - 11 March 2025, 08:01

On Saturday, May 6, another terrorist attack, unfortunately, occurred in Russia. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, a car was blown up: a writer, publicist, a combatant in the Donbass Zakhar Prilepin was wounded. His comrade-in-arms, his driver Alexander Shubin, was killed. Many participants in the fighting in the Donbass knew him under the call sign “Evil”. Fortunately, Prilepin's daughter got out of the car before the explosion and survived. In July 2018, Zakhar and I spoke in the studio about events in Ukraine and Donbas, as well as about history and literature. We talked about our country and our lives. Almost 5 years have passed since that interview, but much of what Zakhar was talking about is very relevant today. We wish Zaharu a speedy recovery, and we all wish sanity, strength of spirit, courage and wisdom. Listen to our interview with Zakhar Prilepin.
