"In my opinion, the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall shopping center was the first iteration of modern terrorist attacks in Russia. Because the Putin regime has not invented anything new. Putin and his team of war criminals came to power in Russia on a wave of terror. They started with the same thing in 1999. This is a well-established practice for them," Magaletsky explained.

"Most likely, the purpose of the terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation is not the regime's internal policy. As for mobilization, although it is difficult for them to conduct it, the Kremlin manages to recruit Russians for the war against Ukraine under its total control. I think that these terrorist attacks were and will be used for Moscow's foreign policy. They are trying to restore contacts with the world, emphasizing that they have a common enemy - terrorism," he added.
