Yes, the carnage could’ve been greater. It was done by a members of the Outlaw US Empire’s Terrorist Foreign Legion—ignore the denials from Washington. That Western media continues to focus on the Kate Middleton “revelation” shows how it cooperates with such events. Putin’s address is short and to the point. Russians are very aware of what nation is behind the attack. And Russian resolve will be even more steadfast than ever. Here’s Putin:
Vladimir Putin: Dear citizens of Russia,
I am writing to you in connection with the bloody, barbaric terrorist act that killed dozens of innocent civilians – our compatriots, including children, teenagers, and women. Doctors are now fighting for the lives of the victims, those who are in serious condition. I am sure that they will do everything possible and even impossible to save the lives and health of all the wounded. Special words of gratitude to the ambulance and ambulance crews, special forces soldiers, firefighters, rescuers who did everything possible to save people's lives, get them out of the fire, out of the epicenter of fire and smoke, and avoid even greater losses.
I cannot ignore the help of ordinary citizens, who in the first minutes after the tragedy did not remain indifferent and indifferent and, along with doctors and special services, provided first aid and delivered victims to hospitals.
We will provide the necessary assistance to all families in whose lives a terrible disaster has come, to the wounded and injured. I express my deepest, most sincere condolences to all those who lost their loved ones. The whole country and all our people mourn together with you. I declare March 24 a day of national mourning.
Additional anti-terrorist and anti-sabotage measures have been introduced in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as in all regions of the country. The main thing now is to prevent those who are behind this bloodbath from committing a new crime.
As for the investigation of this crime and the results of operational search actions, at present we can say the following. All four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, were found and detained. They tried to escape and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border. A total of 11 people were detained. The Federal Security Service of Russia and other law enforcement agencies are working on identifying and opening the entire base of accomplices of terrorists: those who provided them with transport, planned escape routes from the crime scene, prepared caches, caches of weapons and ammunition.
I repeat: the investigative and law enforcement agencies will do everything possible to establish all the details of the crime. But it is already obvious that we are faced not just with a carefully, cynically planned terrorist attack, but with a prepared and organized mass murder of peaceful, defenseless people. Criminals were cold-blooded and purposefully going to kill and shoot our citizens and our children at point-blank range. Like the Nazis who once carried out massacres in the occupied territories, they planned to stage a demonstration execution, a bloody act of intimidation.
All perpetrators, organizers and customers of this crime will be justly and inevitably punished. Whoever they are, whoever directs them. I repeat: we will identify and punish everyone who stands behind the terrorists, who prepared this atrocity, this blow to Russia, to our people.
We know what the threat of terrorism is. We look forward to working together with all States that sincerely share our pain and are ready to really join forces in the fight against the common enemy, international terrorism, and all its manifestations.
Terrorists, murderers, and nonhumans who do not and cannot have a nationality will face one unenviable fate – retribution and oblivion. They have no future. Our common duty now, our comrades-in – arms at the front, all citizens of the country-to be together in one line. I believe it will be so, because no one and nothing can shake our unity and will, our determination and courage, the strength of the united people of Russia. No one will be able to sow the poisonous seeds of discord, panic and discord in our multiethnic society.
Russia has repeatedly passed through the most difficult, sometimes unbearable tests, but it has become even stronger. So it will be now.
I’ve written about the Anti-Humans of the West mostly in relation to their parasitic political economy, but they do employ terrorism to attain their goals, and they don’t have any qualms about killing their own people. I suggested sending a message to their curators by addressing one dozen FAB-3000s to the Al-Tanf terror training facility in Syria followed by a mop-up detail made by the SAA to rid Syria of that cancerous tumor. Unfortunately, I cannot claim to be surprised by the attack. That no Western leader attempted to contact Putin to offer condolences as is usual in such events fits all too well with the essay I mirrored yesterday—yes, some messages were sent via social media, but the initial response by the UNSG’s office was all too typical:
On Friday, hours after tragedy struck at Crocus City Hall outside Moscow, Zakharova criticized the choice of words in the original statement released by the UN secretary-general’s press office – which said the international body was “saddened” by the events.
“SADDENED? BY THE SHOOTING? Is that a brawl at a shooting range or something?” the diplomat asked in her post on Telegram.
She cited disturbing eyewitness footage of the “horrific, bloody terrorist attack that does not cause ‘sadness,’ but rather terror, shock, consternation, unconditional condemnation, righteous anger and compassion toward the victims.” [Emphasis Original]
There’re many media reports, but this one caught my eye:
This Is Not ISIS - Rossiya Segodnya Editor-in-Chief on Moscow Concert Hall Attack:
Simonyan explained that the perpetrators were chosen to carry out the attack in a manner that would allow the West to persuade the international community that ISIS was behind the attack.
“Basic sleight of hand. The level of a railway thimble-rigger," she added." It has nothing to do with ISIS. It's Ukrainians."
She added that the enthusiasm displayed by Western media when they tried to persuade everyone that ISIS was responsible even before arrests were made gave them away completely.
Yes, lock-step BigLie Media often give away the game via its behavior. What they did is provide confirmation to those who know how to read its lies.
May the many victims rest in peace after their untimely and tragic passing.

Thank you for Putin's powerful, serious and heartfelt words--such a contrast with the cliches and lies that comprise every proclamation from Western leaders.
Remember that on March 7th the US Embassy in Moscow issued a warning to citizens not to travel to Moscow and to avoid large gatherings as they had info regarding a terrorist attack. The UK did the same.
That info was NOT shared with the RF authorities. Not saying they knew, but absolutely thinking they are behind it. Bastards!
And now, courtesy of Karl's post we learn that no official condolences were offered from any western nation. How shameful is that?
