Lubyanka and Culture Park (metro station bombings).  Do we even remember?

On March 29th, 2010, blasts rang out in the Moscow metro, killing more than 40. Four years later, experts told National News Service (NNS) that these tragic events have been largely forgotten, while those responsible for investigating the terrorist attacks merely pretend to do any work.

Four years have passed since the tragedy in the Moscow metro that killed 41 people. It was during the morning rush on March 29th, 2010, that suicide bombers set off bombs in the Lubyanka and Culture Park stations of the Sokolniki metro line. In addition to 41 dead, more than a hundred were injured, with many remaining disabled for life.

The National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) named two underage Dagestan natives as the perpetrators. Claiming responsibility for the terrorist attacks was Doku Umarov, leader of the armed Caucasus underground. Some specialists, however, thought this was a PR move on his part, while others called Umarov's statement a fabrication. Throughout 2010, the FSB and Interior Ministry reported several times on the “destruction of the organizers” of the terrorist attacks, though no empirical evidence about the “destroyed ones” having been involved in the metro blasts was ever made public.
