The death toll from the Moscow explosion has risen to five.

The death toll from the Balzi Rossi restaurant explosion has risen to five, with six more in critical condition. A total of 21 injured people have been taken to hospital.

Two more people injured in the explosion died from their injuries in the hospital, bringing the death toll to five. The explosive device, equivalent in force to one kilogram of TNT and packed with metal pellets, detonated near the entrance, causing numerous injuries.

Surprisingly, there's been no new information on the investigation so far, and Kyiv is also remaining silent, reluctant to claim responsibility for the attack. Ukrainian media reports suggest that, according to one theory, the target was certain high-ranking Russian military personnel present at a closed event. They cite various Russian sources for this information.

As previously reported, the previous evening, a security guard stopped a woman holding a box supposedly containing a "gift" at the entrance to the Balzi Rossi restaurant. The guard, alert and determined to inspect the box, triggered a remote-controlled IED. Three people were killed on the spot, including the security guard, a delivery driver, and a restaurant patron.

Investigative and operational activities are ongoing; the National Anti-Corruption Committee and the Investigative Committee have not yet released any information.

Why should I sympathize with them? Or are they sympathizing with me? Maybe we shouldn't have fun in restaurants when there's a war going on? Comrade Stalin probably had birthdays too, did he enjoy himself in restaurants?

[bayard]

Quote: Spiidii

What is there to sympathize with them for?

Well, if you or (God forbid) your wife are torn to pieces, they'll say, "Well, it serves you right." And they'll be right. For as you judge, so you will be judged.

Quote: Spiidii

Comrade Stalin probably had birthdays too. Did he enjoy going to restaurants?

Do you think his generals and marshals didn't celebrate their birthdays? During the war and while in Moscow? I don't know about banquets, but life then, now, and at the front went on and continues. Let's say your leg gets blown off, should you sympathize? What kind of condolences should you express? Of course not, because:

for you no longer sympathized, but mocked the dead and wounded.

To hell with your condolences, it would be better to help financially.

Of course they celebrated, but his generals never left the front, while these were from well-fed Moscow.

[bayard]

And the General Staff?
And the main commands?
And recalled from the front before a new appointment?
And who is recovering from injury (generals were also sometimes injured)?

Quote: Murzik

we never left the front

And you, Murzik, are you at the front? Writing from the trenches before the next assault?
Why NOT?
Once you've presented it to the generals at the headquarters, you must respond with action.
Or are you not from Russia at all?

[Murzik]

Just imagine, generals and marshals were at the front, but your beloved Moscow SUVs are constantly at banquets! And you yourself, not at the front, oh, let me guess, you're another pensioner from Kolchak's wars and they won't take you?
And yes, I don’t feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for the guys who were mobilized and perished in the first 3 months of being on the front lines!

[vromi]

Life goes on despite the war, people go to restaurants and take a break from their workdays, celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, condolences are always necessary, and even more so if a human life is lost

[kenig1]

Where did you get the information that someone showed up at the event with military license plates? The KR series apparently belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and therefore, they showed up at the incident.

[tralflot1832]

How did they find out the location and time of the event, and who ratted them out? We need to outgrow everyone, although this person has most likely already disappeared.

[Cube123]

Quote: tralflot1832

How did the location and time of the event become known, who passed

Bookings for private events at such venues are made several weeks in advance. Another question is whose name the booking was made under.
They forgot that many restaurants in Moscow are owned by foreigners. And here it is, across the street from the US Embassy.

[bayard]

Quote: Cube123

And here it is across the street from the US Embassy.

I remember this area, although I haven't been there for a long time. There's still the Italian embassy on the corner. And there's an interesting building across from it – the headquarters of "Regular English Freemasonry in Russia," the headquarters of the "Grand Master of Regular English Freemasonry in Russia of the Scottish Rite." That's right, with capital letters, but I don't know if they've changed the address since then. So don't ask how they knew, they just knew. And in the basement there was an office of the Concord company – the son of the head of Aeroflot. But that was a long time ago, maybe things have changed. I wonder who lured them there? Now that's interesting. Who recommended and booked the restaurant for a "private party" in such an iconic place?

[Iris]

The Italian Embassy is over 5 km from here, and the Sovereign Order of Malta's representative office isn't open at all. Incidentally, it was also quite far from Kudrinskaya Street...

[bayard]

And where did the US embassy come from? If it was always on a dead end, next to the Italian one? I don't remember the name of the street there, or even the name of the dead end; I was there a long time ago, back in the second half of the 90s. The mention "opposite the US embassy" gave me a clue. I don't remember the US embassy moving, maybe I missed it? And in the 90s, I often visited the Concord.
And I didn't even watch TV today.

Quote: Kasatik

From this place to the Italian Embassy it is more than 5 km,

And there's the US embassy across the street? Are you sure?

[Iris]

I explain.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. In the search bar, type the address of the Italian Embassy in Moscow.
3. Open a map of Moscow and compare the location with the US Embassy. If it's less than five kilometers, change your score.
4. We remove pride as unnecessary and useless.

The same ones who lured Rogozin in at the time.

[bayard]

Quote: tihonmarine

The same ones who lured Rogozin in at the time.

At the time, Donetsk was being shelled by long-range artillery and multiple rocket launchers. Someone from the restaurant staff gave the tip.
Rogozin's performance before the SVO may be viewed differently, but since 2022, he's been here, at war, as the authorized representative (or "governor-general") of the new territories. Think it's all a piece of cake?
But in Moscow, the case is outrageous. And judging by the fact that official sources and the media are providing no information (let alone details), the consequences there are serious. It's time to put the country and the capital under martial law and begin the most severe purges in the rear. The efforts of the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone won't be enough; we also need the Military Counterintelligence Service (SMERSH), censorship on TV and in the media, stricter legislation for saboteurs, spies, and enemy agents on Russian territory, including the highest measure of social responsibility through a Military Tribunal. And a radical purge of the entire vertical chain of command, from which everything flows, from which everything is sabotaged, from which all the sabotage comes.
The experience of Nikola No. 2 in 1916 should become a byword for anti-image. Stalin's image from 1941 to 1945 should be a role model and a source of inspiration for the country's new leadership. Elections are approaching, and there is still a chance to correct these destructive tendencies.

I have no choice, they take my money in the form of taxes and feed people like this.

[bayard]

Quote: Spiidii

I have no choice

There's always a choice: sign a contract and receive your money without deductions, or leave the country and pay taxes to another state if you're unhappy. It's all in your hands. But I don't believe you're from Russia. But I will believe that you're from Dnepropetrovsk or Vinnytsia.

[Spiidii]

But in another country, there are no taxes. What about a contract? Are they going to sell me gas without excise duty? Or will they bring back the VAT? And I served my contract, and I've seen enough of the generals. What are you talking about? Like you're some kind of uncompromising turbo-patriot?

[bayard]

Quote: Spiidii

What about the contract? Will they start selling me gas without excise tax?

You won't believe it - they'll give you a motorcycle (for free!), fill the tank and off you go. You'll have a blast.

Quote: Spiidii

or will the VAT be refunded?

You won't believe it, but they won't take any taxes at all and will pay according to the contract. Look at you, you're so combative, sign up as a volunteer and show yourself to be a real hero, not some angry hysteric with poisonous spittle. Because you, Arkashka, pay your taxes (even though I don't believe you're from Russia), the state protects you. Those same men who were blown up - they're protecting you, you hysteric. And for this they get paid, which is enough to pay for the birthday banquet. You couldn't scrape together enough money for them to smoke with your taxes, but they shed blood for you. Because the Enemy sent the bomb, and since you mock their deaths and injuries, that means you, Arkashka, are an Enemy too.
What do they do with enemies in war?

[Spiidii]

Are you stupid or something? See a psychiatrist. No one is defending me, they just make money, but generals' salaries aren't enough, so they steal. Do you really think that people who have spent their entire lives trying to achieve the rank of general will live on just their salary? And here's the question: how much does a general's salary cost? What's the average price at that restaurant? What does the general drive? What about his wife? What about his children? |Where does he live? And does he live on his salary? Don't worry so much. The generals don't give a damn about you.

It's not even autumn yet, but there's such an exacerbation.

What does this have to do with drinking in restaurants? The guy, a high-ranking military man, risking his life and actually participating in the Second World War (unlike you), helping our country win ACTIVELY, and not like so many cowardly armchair warriors, is most likely on vacation, on a well-deserved rest. (Or is he not entitled to rest, in your opinion?) And, it's his birthday (and not just a routine gathering for a drink, as you're trying to make it out to be). He's in Moscow, at home, where, I repeat, there is no martial law and it's deep in the rear. Of course, he wants, at least in these rare moments at home, and especially on such an unusual occasion (his birthday), to somehow celebrate... to take a break from the everyday, terrible reality of war. In your opinion, he doesn't have the right to this? Why?
And, yes, he partied, of course, not at your expense... his salary, for defending the fatherland, including your skin, allows him to do this, in the place where he considers necessary.

[Spiidii]

Dadda, tell me about the knights without fear and reproach. Have you ever wondered how people become generals? And they live on just their salaries.

[Spiidii]

a high-ranking military man who risks his life and actually participates in the SVO

And how many Ukrops did he kill? Operations won? What exactly did he do? Did he somehow manage to raise enough money for an upscale restaurant?

[Strelok1976]

I'm a bit confused. What charges are you charging me with, someone who works in the defense industry, who read my brother's funeral notice a week ago, and who has my own viewpoint on the actions of the General Staff and Supreme Command?

[bayard]

I'm not a prosecutor; many have questions and complaints about the Supreme Command and the General Staff, including myself. But that's no reason to dance on the bones of dead and wounded soldiers, most likely from the Supreme Command of the Aerospace Forces and others. It's their work that the Sumerians suffer most, which is why there was an assassination attempt. Or did he decide to play along with the enemy?
If you've lost a brother, I sympathize. I also have friends who died in this war, it's been going on since 2014. And the article you'll be charged with will depend on which one you choose to be charged with. It's all in your hands, Alexey.

Well, when this happened, many on our site already knew who Alexander was and that he was celebrating his birthday. It's not surprising, considering there are thousands of Ukrainian spies and sleepers living in Moscow.

[sak1969]

Yesterday at 4:00 PM, a female courier arrived at the Italian restaurant Balzi Rossi in central Moscow to deliver a package in the midst of a celebration. The restaurant had been booked for the entire day. According to reports, the 55th birthday of Colonel General and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Alexander Yuryevich Chaiko, was being celebrated there. His birthday was scheduled for Monday, July 27, but, following long-standing tradition, the celebration was moved to the weekend.

[drags33]

Maybe now this general and his entourage will understand that there is a WAR going on!?!?!? The ease of thought of these staff uniforms is off the charts...

[Lisa Kerner-Timoshenko]

...this general and all the others believe VVP that it's just his own...that's why there's no revival of SMERSH

[bayard]

SMERSH is military counterintelligence. To have the same powers as in WWII, martial law would have to be declared. Apparently, they're not ready yet. Maybe after the elections... when the Duma changes and adequate laws can be passed. But first, you have to want it.

[Lisa Kerner-Timoshenko]

Do you really believe there will be changes...????
Do you think that old lady Tereshkova and her ilk are leaving and that Putin will finally rename his WAR????
Then we can believe that the head priest, Kirill, is giving his wealth to the front and to orphanages...

[Iris]

That's how rumors and gossip are born. One claims an important guest arrived in a car with military license plates (and in full dress uniform????), another that the courier with the bomb arrived at 4:00 PM, although guests started arriving after 7:00 PM, and the explosion occurred around 8:00 PM. Not the VO, but a branch of the OBS.

Even in the era of Yeltsin, scumbags like Bakatin and Kalugin (I can't bring myself to call them generals) handed over the country to the rabid 3,14indosniki, and it's possible that they still exist today, if the Kremlin's moustache is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Zionist sons-in-law of the Vitebskoffs to continue someone else's desires.
The experience of celebrating D. Rogozin's birthday in 2022 in a Donetsk restaurant did not teach him anything.

The security guard should be awarded posthumously.

[RuAbel]

And for the wife - a military pension for life.

[Right hand of the eye]

For what?! Such strange...)))) The security guard was simply fulfilling his duties. It's understandable that at an event of this level, security would be adequate, and screening visitors, especially suspicious ones, was part of the security guard's job description... What does heroism have to do with it?

Generals of this level should have their own security and it is their job to check.
A simple lack of control left to its own devices led to the death of people.

[Right hand of the eye]

Why the lack of control? The woman was stopped at the entrance and not allowed to proceed further due to a search (as per instructions). So, the security guards carried out their duties accurately, and none of the terrorists' intended targets were harmed... But what do you think—otherwise, they should have done the right thing, to ensure no one was harmed? When, who, and how should this woman have been identified in advance, before she approached the restaurant, and neutralized before her handlers detonated the explosive device? Huh?

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Hand of the Eye

Why the lack of control? The woman was stopped at the entrance and not allowed to proceed further.

Almost correct, stopped by a security guard from a private security company, but not by the general's security.

[Right hand of the eye]

Well, it doesn't really matter who stopped her... The main thing is that she was stopped! It's clear that if there hadn't been that regular security guard, there would naturally have been another one - a general's or someone else, but there definitely would have been one... Although, by the way, are you sure that the security guard was from the restaurant and not one of our own?

[APR2017]

One satirist once said of Americans, "Well, they're stupid!" But that most accurately captures the essence of Russia's military (and other) elite. One is constantly being deceived by friends and partners, the next is being tossed around as... stupid. It's as if the war isn't happening in their country. And there are no Agent 404s inside... Oh, how we need the death penalty and the NKVD.

[UAZ 452]

If they're not stopped by the real threat to their lives, by colleagues regularly dying in assassination attempts, then why would the NKVD and the death penalty change the situation? After all, the NKVD itself will now have to recruit from those graduates who staged the Gelik rally in full view of Moscow, flashing their faces for the cameras of anyone who wanted to take their picture.

How will Putin now explain such holidays for generals during the SVO period, especially for those who are LBS?

[UAZ 452]

Holidays were celebrated during the Great Patriotic War, too—just rewatch some films about it, like "Only Old Men Are Going to Battle." Human nature is such that after a few years of emergency, without any relaxation, most people will go completely nuts. Another question is—isn't it really possible to provide controlled relaxation under reliable protection, somewhere outside the city, out of sight? Or is the FSO's capabilities limited to protecting the head of state? Is saving the rest of the leadership their own problem? That's a shame.

[Vladimir M]

Actually, for such "events" there are officers' and generals' mess halls in "closed areas"...
There was no point in showing off during the SVO.
The FSO's capabilities are simply not sufficient to protect and escort the "show-offs."

Look, this guy is obviously on vacation (whether he's in the military or not), lives in Moscow, and decided to celebrate his birthday. Where else would he (other military officials) celebrate his birthday if not in a cozy cafe, in his hometown, where, it must be said, there's no martial law or anything like that, but a completely calm, everyday life? And I'm sure there was no show or hype about the planned event... And even the "Crocuses" aren't immune from terrorist attacks... The main thing now is to find out who set it up...

What do you mean? Do you think this soldier was telling the whole world he was going to celebrate his birthday at that restaurant? And some terrorists happened to be passing by, heard it, and decided, "Oh, how lucky we are! Let's send our agent there." Of course not. Most likely, only the invited people, a small circle of people, knew about the celebration. Someone among them informed the right people about the upcoming event. That's who we need to find.

[fruc]

there is no martial law, etc., but a completely calm, ordinary life?

The man is obviously on vacation (and it doesn’t matter whether he’s in the military or not), lives in Moscow, and decided to celebrate his birthday.

And he rented the most expensive bar in Moscow for only 9 million rubles (113,000 bucks).
He's a modest guy, what's his salary, you might ask.

[Right hand of the eye]

In your opinion, only an oligarch, a corrupt official, etc., can afford to celebrate his birthday in a restaurant in the center of Moscow, but not an honest person, and especially not a high-ranking military officer?
And how do you know how much this event actually cost him? Maybe he got a good discount as a respected figure, a Hero of Russia (perhaps)? Or maybe his friends chipped in, etc.? And anyway, he obviously has a very good, decent salary. He could have invested his savings in some business, securities, etc. (which isn't prohibited by law), meaning he's currently earning a decent dividend and profit, and therefore can afford to celebrate his birthday at a nice establishment. And so on...
In general, I don't see anything criminal or outrageous in the fact that such a person allowed himself to celebrate a significant event in one of the restaurants in his hometown...

Do you really think Putin owes any explanations? Even in WWII, generals celebrated their anniversaries. I think the choice of location for the celebration was a mistake. A general of that stature most likely has a dacha (or something similar) outside the city. Guests don't have to walk; they can come anywhere. And ensuring security in a gated community is incomparably easier than in central Moscow. But as I understand it, show-off won out over security.

A UAV could have flown to the "dacha" outside the city with the same "gift"...
The problem here is that generals don't die in Ukraine...
There will be another response "to the barns", but what's the point of such responses?...
The general (commander of the Aerospace Forces...), who was the target of an assassination attempt, could have retaliated himself – quietly striking to kill (taking off the "gloves") even the most "untouchable," since the Commander of the Aerospace Forces has forces and resources under his command, and the "Kremlin" can simply present the "clown" with the fait accompli...

There are very serious doubts that we have anyone in the leadership who is capable of making a decision independently and presenting it to the GDP as a fait accompli.
That's not why they were put in these positions.

A UAV could have flown to the "dacha" outside the city with the same "gift"...

I couldn't fly in. Noticed there were no strikes on Rublyovka or Koncha-Zaspa (the local equivalent of Rublyovka). The Ukrainian Armed Forces generals prefer to live quietly, but they could fly in in response.

[Lako]

What needs to be explained here isn't the generals' holidays—they've always existed—but the rampant terrorism in Russia. And this isn't the first time high-ranking military officials have been blown up, and not just anywhere, but in Moscow. Right under the noses of the Russian FSB leadership. Incidentally, has anyone found out who detonated the explosive device and how?

[tihonmarine]

Quote: Arkady007

How will Putin now explain such holidays for generals during the SVO period, especially for those who are LBS?

These generals have no shortage of modesty.

[Captain Pushkin]

They hire all sorts of idiots not even for money, but for the promise of money: "Here, take it, I'll give you money," and they blow it up remotely. This isn't the first or even the tenth incident.
It's time for someone in uniform to put out an announcement on all TV channels about this scheme and warn that it's a trip to the cemetery.

Every day, information on this topic appears online and in the media. Indeed, one would have to be completely brainless to fall for such scams after numerous similar cases have come to light.

[Nexcom]

Alexander Well, the "rocket-trampoline Khokhloma enthusiast" approach apparently continues. He also managed to screw up his birthday, got shot in the butt, and now he's sitting comfortably quietly. It's obvious that in a situation like this, organizing such events is unacceptable. Our officers are being hunted. Why organize such events publicly? Well, they could have done it quietly, somewhere in a closed area, with special verification and clearance, something like that... Don't they understand that the enemy will spare no one! And they are the sovereign's people, on duty. I think there's a certain amount of irresponsibility in what happened. This can't be done.

You can kick...

Why would you kick me?🤔
That's right—in the presence of individuals who fall for the scams of enemy intelligence agencies, or, even more dangerously, who are used undetected under any guise, the sovereign's people themselves must first and foremost exercise caution and lead by example. The location of an event venue in the center of Moscow is no guarantee of protection from the actions of resourceful terrorists.

[Nexcom]

Exactly, Alexander!!! Prudence, adherence to the rules, and increased vigilance! They are service people and don't belong entirely to themselves, as they carry out important state tasks assigned to them. And in this scenario, it's obvious that the enemy will try to eliminate them, even if only for "publicity" purposes... That's what I think...

As for kicking - well, I'm not even really saying this to you, I just know that there will be those who like to make noise.

He really did it, and he really did it. That's inadequacy bordering on "cognitive problems." The Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces! A well-fed rich kid, the son of a general under whose command Gerasimov served, who became a regiment commander at 33... In the General Staff, he also served in Gerasimov's footsteps, which is obviously no coincidence. But he's loyal to a fault.

[Nexcom]

Why did I cut him off? I simply reported it politely. As for who worked for whom, I don't know; they don't report to me. But that doesn't mean I deny such things.

Hello, Alexander Once again. I shared my thoughts on this issue with you above...

The phenomenon, by the way, really does not lend itself to rational explanation. You are right.

I've forgotten the classics with age. Thanks for correcting me...

[Grancer81]

Yes, in general, no one will advertise that he is a curator from the SBU and offer him a job as a courier.

[Jager]

The courier might have been completely unaware of what he was delivering and to whom. Just like the truck driver who died on the Crimean Bridge...

[drags33]

The courier wasn't aware there were explosives in there. That's 100%. Who would knowingly take such a load? Unless it was a suicide bomber...

[Dmitry Rigov]

For example, a regular cake delivery service is hired, and the cake contains this surprise. The courier may not have any malicious intent; they likely had no contact with the customer at all, but simply received the order from an aggregator service.

[Irokez]

Quote: Jager

The courier might not have been aware of what he was delivering to or to whom.

I think this is a flaw in the courier service when they don't know what they're delivering. They check Yandex, Avito, and even Russian Post to see what's being sent. It looks like delivery regulations will be tightened considerably. Maybe there will be fewer thieves (and even just ordinary people) providing services instead of working properly in the manufacturing sector. And the rest of us should go to the store ourselves and get off the couch.

In fact, they talk about this every day on TV, just like they do about scammers.
However, no one has abolished the second of Russia's woes: road repairs...

[nobody75]

In the fifth year of the Second Military District, the Generals are not confined to barracks! They're working as "Wedding Generals"... Some believe that without such Generals, the Air and Space will be cleaner... Maybe it's time for them to retire...
Sincerely

[alexoff]

This motorized rifleman had just been appointed to command the aviation, and already he was retired...

[nobody75]

And he immediately demonstrated his level of organization! He couldn't organize the banquet...
Sincerely

[alexoff]

I think the banquet to celebrate the anniversary and the new position was organized first class, it’s just that the enemies turned out to be more organized.
I wonder if he'll draw any conclusions? Will other generals draw any?

[nobody75]

I wonder if counterintelligence will draw any conclusions... As the Ukrainian Armed Forces' situation worsens, the idea of ​​a palace coup is becoming increasingly attractive within the US intelligence community... It's certainly cheaper than maintaining Ukraine. And Gerasim has produced a bunch of Mu-mu's, incompetent and unappreciated by their subordinates. They're forced to show off with banquets... Time to think again.
Sincerely

[trromar]

I don't know why they're wandering around restaurants. They've declared a missile alert here, and you can't go outside.

[Glagol1]

The dancers' signature is clear. Why are they silent? Perhaps the perpetrators haven't been evacuated yet. After all, someone was nearby and saw the guard's work. Yes, these are definitely dancers. The guard should be awarded; he saved 20-30 people, even though it was a powerful bomb. His family should also be supported – the country depends on people like him.

[paul3390]

Another interesting question is why haven't we yet carried out any campaign to eliminate the leaders of the Ukrainian Reich? They're using absolutely every possible method of destruction against us, without any restraint, yet we continue to pose as knights in white armor, courteous in our behavior?

[mErLin68]

The security forces (and military among them) of most countries are, by and large, unteachable. Show-off always trumps logic. And in Russia, especially. You can blow up 20 generals, but the 21st will live in an unguarded hut and throw banquets with his classmates. Otherwise, "the boys won't understand." And anyway, stripes are the best protection against TNT. The whole country lives by the ABS motto: "We don't need smart people - we need loyal ones" (c)

Well, the one everyone's talking about now is one of the true ones. And did it help?

[Iris]

It's helped, more than once, and greatly. To have become Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces by age 55, and to have previously received the Hero of the Russian Federation award for an unknown feat despite having no known achievements—isn't that remarkable?

[mad-max78]

I don't understand what's happening to Russian generals. There's a war going on, and he's celebrating his birthday in the center of Moscow—not at home, not at his dacha, not on the front lines—in the center of Moscow, which automatically puts everyone around him at risk. Rogozin was previously hated for getting his ass torn in a pub. I know that pub personally. Shish Besh is located in a forest belt on the outskirts of Donetsk, where there isn't a single residential building nearby, only a cemetery. Even there, there were injured and dead because of Rogozin, who decided to celebrate his birthday, and here we are in the center of Moscow. I don't know how this general is doing, but for some reason I don't want to wish him well after that. He acted like a complete bastard to those around him.

[Vladimir M]

This terrorist attack speaks to the fact that:
- Ukraine has enough of its own agents in Russia at a fairly high level and these are not underage idiots setting fire to relay cabinets.
- During the SVO (war), for those who hold high positions, getting drunk in a public place is the height of idiocy; for them, war is not a war at all...
Honor and praise to the guard! May the earth rest softly on him!
It is quite possible that the courier was used in the dark....

[alexoff]

Quote: Vladimir M

- Ukraine has enough of its own agents in Russia at a fairly high level and these are not underage idiots setting fire to relay cabinets.

No way, not a single one was arrested or caught! And the fact that Sobchak is texting Yermak, that Pugachikha and Zelena are friends, that Ushakov's deputy turned out to be a CIA agent—all of this doesn't count and doesn't hint at anything.

Vladimir Orlov, chairman of the humanitarian organization Veche, raised an interesting question on his channel. Why, in the fifth year of the war, is enemy sabotage still being classified as an act of terrorism?
From the murder of a designer in Samara, to the attempted assassination of a designer in Tula, and dozens more. Why is the National Anti-Terrorism Committee being brought in to legally cloak enemy sabotage as terrorism: "Volendmort cannot be mentioned by name...?" Meanwhile, the enemy's SBU and GUR openly claim responsibility for these terrorist acts, but the organizations themselves are still not designated as terrorists... How is this possible?

[NW]

Quote: sak1969

Why, in the 5th year of the war, is the enemy's sabotage activity still being classified as a terrorist act?

To remove questions about the lack of such extremely necessary activity on our part.

And it is absent because when the time comes to negotiate with the Ukrainians, the real influence will be wielded by those people whom Putin so does not want to call terrorists.

[Serenity]

So you answered your own question: sabotage activities aimed at the targeted elimination of undesirable individuals. Terrorist attacks are when they kill a hundred random passersby in the subway.
Remember Vladlen Tatarsky, they took him out precisely, in a room full of people, without killing anyone except himself.
No matter how much you want it or how much you itch, this is war.

[Mint Gingerbread]

It seems that active, high-ranking military personnel don't fully understand that they could be blown up, shot, or have a brick fall on their head at any time. While it might be fine for them alone, a terrorist attack affects others. They should have immediately flagged down the quadcopter at the park.

[AUSSIA]

Despite all the negative comments, some of which are deserving, and some not, this should be viewed as an act of cowardice and a sign that the Ukrainians are desperate. The continued battlefield advances and destruction of vital equipment is taking its toll. The Nazis will DO ANYTHING to justify their ideology. Just another example of terrorism.

[Fishmashin]

Blessed memory to the security guard who fulfilled his duty to the end.

Well, our soldiers don’t want to go to the barracks, they don’t want to...

What kind of birthday celebration is this at a time of year?! Apparently, people just can't get it - THERE'S A WAR!!! You know - A W A R! ... Or should everyone get their own house, apartment, or dacha? It's time to understand - put the games aside and get down to business! All together! Otherwise, defeat, collapse, and death.

[Roman 11]

We need to think about this issue for a year or two now. There are criminals in our prisons, like the killers of the 90s, and they know how to eliminate... There's no doubt that there's dill in Africa, America, Europe, even Asia, and, paradoxically, even if work on these enemy centers were to begin today, it would be very late.
We faced a wave of terror and sabotage in the second half of the 90s and early 2s - and that's just Chechnya, but the Ukrainians are many times larger and are supported by the entire West... a completely different scale

[Roman 11]

I didn't understand what was going on with the hero of the occasion, was he even present at the restaurant?
They're whispering that it's a hoax, that a wedding was supposedly planned, in short, everyone's doing their own thing, it's hard to figure out now, we have to wait for the official announcement, while it's unclear

[oleg_627]

If you recognize Ukraine as a terrorist country, then act accordingly. All foreign supporters are also accomplices of terrorists; strike them everywhere. And if this is war, impose the death penalty on both your own robbers and foreign mercenaries. Stalin + SMERSH.

[Lynx2000]

Quote: Lisa Kerner-Tymoshenko

...they believe VVP that it's just his own...that's why there's no revival of SMERSH

What are the SMERSH organs?
This is just a name based on special departments (counterintelligence); successful work is primarily based on people, specialists, and the organization of their effective work.
You can create counterintelligence agencies called SMERSH a hundred times now, but will they be as useful as they were before, in 1943?

[Plowman]

I'm amazed and apprehensive at the cognitive abilities of such high-ranking military leaders. To organize a gathering of generals and high-ranking guests in the center of Moscow, and without any special security equipment, no less. Even a kid knows this will provoke action from the enemy's special forces. It was impossible to organize all this in a closed area: a military camp, a garrison, etc. How can you trust such responsible work to such organizers?
