The explosion occurred at the station "Sennaya" and "Tehnologicheskii institut". There are victims and dead, including children. Spoiler: Photo
Investigation is in the process. Main suspect at the moment, a potential suicide bomber, Akbarzhon Jalilov, russian citizen, born in city of Osh, and lived in Petersburg at least for several years. He said to have connection with radical islamist organisations, but nothing is certain yet.
If it is true that this unfortunate attack was caused by a Chechen, then the following may explain why it took place: https://www.google.com/search?q=gro...mYvTAhWJh1QKHb8wBmwQ_AUIBigB&biw=1242&bih=580 Russians imperialistic terrorism in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. The barbarism that took place was overlooked by the entire world.
Bah. This is typical Liberal BS; innocent Russians have died and you decide to blame Putin. It is always Putin "this" and Putin "that", is it not? When he is not busy hacking US elections, he kills his own people. Totally makes sense.
Boris Yeltsin was leader of Russia when the imperialist attack took place. Now, re-phrase your question so that it may possibly make some sense.
Oh, Jeltzin the alcoholic. Thing is that Putin has basically given the Tchechenyans their own Kaliphate, that was how he managed to end the war. Would not surprise me if it is still the Tchechens but might as well be Dagistanis or some other Mosleem minority.
This is most certainly an attack on Russia for supporting Assad. I heard there is some Kyrgyz suspect now? Any news?
You do make a valid point in that Russian imperialists have invaded that region for several centuries and committed FAR worse atrocities. Somehow, that has been overlooked or excused by the West and not called terrorism.
Um. I do not know about US, but Swedish press have been pretty consistent in their Russophobia for nearly 10 years now.
Yeah by that logic, Boston bombings and even 9/11 were justified and glorious acts of anti-terrorism.
Kirgizstan, Kazakhstan, and other republics of Middle Asia are not part of Russian Federation and never were, though - just as RF - they have been parts of Soviet Union. I remind you, that Soviet Union does not - and never was - a synonim of Russia. This is a common mistake, based on foreign media calling soviet citizens 'russians'. Many top figures of Union were not of russian descend, or had mixed heritage. Among them - Lening, Stalin, Khruschev, Brejhnev, Andropov, also Kaganovich, Trotsky, Dzerjinsky, Beria, Yagoda and others. After dissolution of Soviet Union RF has inherited the responsibility for nuclear arsenal and Union's seat in United Nations. Never the less, historically RF is not a direct continuation of Soviet Union, and is not solely responsible for any event, that took place during period of time, when RF - previously RSFSR - was a part of Soviet Union.
Kyrgizstan, Kazakhstan were part of the imperialistic Russian empire since the 1800s which imposed depredations upon those people and others in the Caucasus. The Soviets continued doing the same evils. Nobody called it terrorism or imperialism when they committed such evils but are readily disposed to characterize the counter actions as such today. Two wrongs don't make a right but it certainly explains why people take such actions on their own just like they did in Vietnam, Algeria, or even in our own USA versus the British.
Empire was disbanded, with last emperror resigning the crown during February Revolution in 1917. It has been reformed in couple dosen socialistic republics, that has been reformed in democratic sovereign republics during the dissolution of Soviet Union in 1991.
Akbarzhon Dzhalilov is from Kyrgyzstan and his hometown Osh is a hub for radical Islamist groups. Dzhalilov may have travelled to Syria or Iraq and been trained as a jihadist.
