Prize-winning Ukrainian author killed in Russia blast

The mother of a three-year-old child had been on a flight from the Ukrainian city of Odessa to collect a prize from the Russian cinema magazine Isskustvo Kino (Art of Cinema).
"It's a tragedy. She was flying here for reasons of joy," said the editor of the magazine, Danil Dondurei, according to the Interfax news agency.
Mashutina was part of an increasingly dynamic young playwriting scene that has emerged in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine and had won prominence for plays such as "Pagans", "Somewhere and Around" and "Video Camera".
