    Man, Russia is nuts. I dunno where these guys got their beatings, but this seems like nothing you’d see in the US.

    Also, hard to understand how they can blame Ukraine for this while none of the suspects are Ukrainian.

      Presumably because they couldn’t find any Ukrainians to pin the blame on.

      I’m somewhat skeptical about if these people are actually responsible, since I would have thought that a properly organized terrorist would actually leave the country pretty pronto.

          A bunch of footage of what exactly? These individuals with their faces uncovered demonstrating they were the ones that committed the act I don’t think so.

      I mean… knowing it’s likely a CIA funded attack, Russia didn’t really have any option other than to say it was the group that allows them to continue their war in the Ukraine.

            Because Isis have never committed any terrorist attacks before right?

            If you’re going to make that claim you need to provide some evidence

              And because Islamic extremists have never committed attacks in Russie based on Russias actions in Syria (directly engaging ISIS) and Russias friendly relations with the taliban, who in turn hate ISIS.

              So many examples, but blaming the Americans/Ukranian/Europeans/InsertAnyOtherParty is just another way the Russian trolls sow chaos in an attempt to make everyone doubt reality.

                The people that have done the deed where definitly ISIS. But there where many people involved behind the scenes and someone payed for it.

                ISIS usually ideologically subverts individuals.

                While Ukraine is involved in numerous killings, terrorism and uncountable sabotages inside Russia, (mostly) by either paying or convincing locals.

                (I doubt it was the US/ Europe. The CIA/ Europe would have no gain from this.)

                But there is no definitive proof (so far) of who actually orchestraded it, so it could be the usual suspect or the obvious one.

                  You should stop eating soap, as apparently that is bad for your brain too.

                  A country defending itself from an invader is not committing killings and terrorist, it is engaged in asymmetric warfare for as far as it is actually involved.

                  Ascribing the work of partisans and anti putinists to Ukraine completely ignores the hellscapr Putin has created within Russia proper. There is plenty to be mad about at their own government for Russians.

        Of course it could be CIA connected but likely is a too strong word with the information available at this point. Russia is fucking around with many groups all over the world

              Best I can do right now is let people know there’s no point in engaging with trolls. We don’t want to encourage them and give them a platform they’ll use to spread their nazbol propaganda.

                Well dont stop, continue. Only in dialogue can we defeat our differences.

                Otherwise you seperate and isolate people, and strengthen they’re belives.

                There are people that you can show all the facts and logic and proof and they are not going to believe. Those people I refer to as stupid. ( I dont call em that. No need to be rude). Dont be such a person yourself.

                Hence, always try to engage in dialogue and be flexible enough in your worldviews. But also know some people are not and there is nothing you can do.

                But other people reading this will see you be right.

                Nazbol? What does this dead movement have to do with anything?

                  We can all sit down and sing Kumbaya. While we do that, they’ll have free reign to propagate their conspiracy theories and hate.

                  I don’t engage seriously with them anymore, I’ve been burnt too many times. I don’t want to give them more visibility than they already have.

                  I want people to know immediately what they’re dealing with, because these guys don’t play by the rules.

    All appeared to have been beaten - videos of brutal interrogation sessions were apparently leaked by Russian security forces, and reports suggest at least one had suffered electric shocks.

    The men the court identified as Mirzoyev and Rachabalizoda had black eyes and the latter’s ear was heavily bandaged - reportedly from it being partially severed during his arrest.

    Mirzoyev also appeared to have a torn plastic bag wrapped around his neck.

    The face of the man identified as Fariduni was badly swollen, while the man named as Fayzov appeared to lose consciousness as he was brought into court in a wheelchair wearing a thin hospital gown.

    He appeared to have an eye missing, according to the Reuters news agency.

    A court statement on the Telegram messaging service said Mirzoyev had “admitted his guilt in full”, while Rachabalizoda also “admitted guilt”.

    Anyone will admit guilt if you do that to them. Is there any actual evidence that these men were the ones who attacked the concert hall?

        Oh well I guess that’s definitive evidence then. Clothing is a unique unreplicatable item, everyone knows that.

        Russia didn’t even believe these attacks were going to take place, I refuse to believe that they’re able to catch the culprits this quickly, there’s a level of organization and skill that they’ve never previously demonstrated.

      That is if you believe these are the actual perpetrators.

      It took an hour for security forces to reach the actual event but they catch the perps in 4 hours? Very sus.
