    I think many of them are caught between a rock and a hard place. They don't have Kommissars as such behind them waving Nagan pistols, but I imagine going backwards is often as risky as going forward.

    Yep, Ukrainians are fighting for their existence, what are Russians fighting for?

    I watched “Ukraine: Enemy in the woods” last night (on BBC and available on IPlayer). It was a hard watch as it gave a small inkling as to what war must be like on the front line. It must be even worse for the Russian soldiers a lot of whom probably don’t want to be there and whose chances of survival are no doubt much lower than the Ukrainians.

    It was reported in an article in the Guardian that the suspects lived and worked in the Moscow area, though one is thought to have been possibly there illegally. The article also said there was thought to be as many as 1.5M Tajik migrant workers in Russia and, as both migrants and Muslims, they face heavy discrimination and live in poor accommodation. That's a large pool of potentially resentful young men for IS to recruit from, which makes it odd that Putin was apparently so dismissive of the possibility that IS might be planning to mount an attack in Russia, particularly as the FSB foiled a planned attack on a synagogue and publicised the fact only a couple of weeks ago.
    The Kremlin appear now to have given up on the idea of finding actual evidence that Ukraine funded and/or assisted with the attack, moving directly on to stating that Ukraine were behind it as if it was an established fact. It would be terribly inconvenient if they were forced to tell the Russian people that the chickens they hatched in Syria have come home to roost and that they now share a common enemy with the West.

    Can’t stand the daily mail, but they are one of the first to pick up on an AFP story about Lukashenko saying in an interview that the terrorists tried to get into Belarus as their escape route.

    Also ties in with what Belarus ambassador to Russia said the day after the attack.

    I mean if you’re into conspiracy theories then the obvious one is, how in a country that cracks down on dissent in such a draconian manner (as we saw with the Navalny memorials), can a group of terrorists spend as long as they did, doing what they did, with absolutely no response from the state. A state that had been warned of terrorist attacks at this kind of event a couple of days before?
    There was no one even there to martyr these guys!
    They even almost made it to the Belorussian border.
    Strange that that wouldn’t be the first question that people would have.

    And this is who all these statements and accusations are for………Russian citizens.
    We have to remember the stuff that Putin, the Kremlin and the propagandists are pumping out are primarily for Russian consumption, they don’t care what the outside world thinks. 
    They need to continually shore up support for the continued invasion and destruction of Ukraine.

    As unsavory as some of these links are, I’d rather they stay up……..obviously forum owners/moderators have a line they can’t cross and that is their right. 
    It gives us an insight into the people that post them, the places they visit to get their information and why they are  posting it.
    Id urge people to take a good long look at that Twitter feed and think about what these “questions” are aiming to achieve.
    Context is vital!

    I read/saw a report/video last week where a reporter from the UK asked a Russian male citizen about invading Ukraine, There was a couple of barbed comments one of which was..."the English security service is crap" or words to that effect.
    So guessing that the Russian security is a good few rungs lower on the ladder than ours then 👍

    Seriously, posting up unsubstantiated claims from questionable sources without analysis or due warnings is a banning offence on many forums.

    Maybe it’s true maybe it’s not. We’ll probably really never know but it’s quite convenient for Russia if this individual is claiming he was offered money by someone connected to Ukraine (if that’s part of the claim). If I was in custody in Russia it wouldn’t take much for me to agree to say what they wanted me to.
    It isn’t how ISIS operate but it would also be a massive PR failure by Ukraine if they were behind the attack. Why would they want to kill innocent civilians and do anything that might strengthen the resolve of the Russian people resulting in more support for Putin? I guess the argument could be that they wanted to bring the conflict closer to home for the Russian population and cause more of them to call for an end but I don’t see it personally.
