Leonid Slutsky, a senior lawmaker, claimed that the attacks had “the aim of sowing panic and dividing the people of Russia” and that “the blood of the victims” was also on the hands of the United States.

Of course it's United States that is to blame.

Holy crap, not even ChatGPT would be able to make this shit up.

At this point, according to their media, everything bad that happens in Russia is America's fault.

At which point exactly? Seems a rather fat one, spanning over 20 years.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The attack was the latest outburst of apparent extremist violence inside Russia as the country fights its war against neighboring Ukraine.

In Derbent, the attackers set fire to a synagogue after shooting and killing the police officers who were guarding it, the Russian Jewish Congress said.

At about the same time, early Sunday evening, gunmen also opened fire on a traffic police post in Makhachkala, according to state media reports.

Videos posted by Dagestan’s interior ministry showed gunmen on the loose in the city of Makhachkala, opening fire and forcing people out of their cars.

The mayhem highlighted the long-running ethnic and religious tensions in Russia, particularly in the country’s southern Caucasus region, which includes Dagestan.

Leonid Slutsky, a senior lawmaker, claimed that the attacks had “the aim of sowing panic and dividing the people of Russia” and that “the blood of the victims” was also on the hands of the United States.

Slutsky. Heh.

It sounds like a porn star name of a Russian actress. Da my name is Slut-sky and I really need help with my plumbing.

It sounds like Russians need to be liberated from all their nazis. We should liberate them in a three-day "special military action".
