Not everything is a false flag. There are millions of Russians against the war, why wouldn't one of them do this? If Putin wants to rally people he has far less contrived methods.

Yeah. If anything, the opposition being able to make attempts at such famous figures makes the government look pretty weak and gives anti-Putin Russians a glimmer of hope and something to rally behind. I wouldn't risk it if I was Putin, or at least I'd blame it on "Ukrainian spies" to make people hate Ukraine.

Well, FSB claims that they already solved the case and it was a Ukrainian agent who successfully fled via Estonia.

I must say it is a boring version, I expected they'll blame British or American intelligence.

No. I'm fairly sure its the case

Also apparently Dugina wanted to replace the minister of defense and kept criticising his performance. So...

Then Russia would blow up a residential building, kindergarten, etc. Even if they would decide to limit themselves to killing one person, they would choose someone more famous and well-known among the general Russian public. 

- Inner political struggle
- Putin punishing Dugin for something
- Successful Ukrainian operation
- Those NRA guys are real

They will, of course, blame Ukraine. But doing this with the only intention of blaming Ukraine is not a plausible theory.

This TBH. If you want to stage a false flag operation, destroy something or someone people care about. Not someone the average apathetic Russian will go "who?" at.

Well, don't forget the whole Salisbury Cathedral "we went to see the 123m spire!" thing, and how a number of agents were discovered because they had adjacent passport numbers.

Ah, ok, so the FSB just lets an agent of a country that they're at war with walk right into the capital and bomb a car and get out. Really paints a good image of them. "Citizens of Russia be not afraid, for we are incompetent"

Not just any agent! An already identified member of Azov, which is on the list of terrorist organizations.

Escaped to Estonia they say, I suspect they've not only managed to pull a very incompetent version of the "blame Ukraine" card, but also telegraphed which country is next on Putin's hitlist. :V

Well it has been their explanation for everything bad that's happened to them during the war, so it's hardly surprising.

I'm honestly a bit surprised they didn't try to explain this as some kind of engine defect rather than enemy action.
