Russia observed a national day of mourning two days after an attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed more than 130 people.

Events by cultural institutions were cancelled on Sunday 24 March as flags were lowered to half-staff, while television entertainment and advertising were suspended.

A steady stream of people added to a makeshift memorial near the burnt-out concert hall, creating a huge mound of flowers.

There were similar scenes at memorials in cities across Russia as residents spoke of the grief, shock, and sadness being felt in the aftermath of the attack.

It's normal for anyone to leave Russia for Ukraine or Belarus... because it's a neighboring country to Russia...

And FSB once again dragged innocent guys of the streets. Best them until they said it was them who done the Terrorists attack.
Because the ISIS Terrorists got away.
