Putin has portrayed Russia’s operation in Syria as a pre-emptive strike against terrorism at home. He said the threat of attacks at home would have been much worse if Russia had not intervened in Syria.
Ah Pootie Poot sending these guys into Syria was to protect your only never freezing naval base in Tartus, much better than the naval base in the Crimea. And as for terrorist you’ve pissed off enough folks close to home, and yet why don’t try to re-incorporate the “stans” back into your Great Mother Land of Russia?
Just an ordinary madman
Russia supermarket bombing: St Petersburg man charged with terrorism
The suspect has been identified as Dmitry Lukyanenko, 35, who had had psychiatric treatment, Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK) says.
He is reported to be a member of a nationalist group.
So-called Islamic State (IS) previously claimed it was behind the attack, but provided no evidence.

Mr Lukyanenko cited as his motive “hatred towards the organisers and followers of the psychological training sessions” he had attended as his motive.
“It is a psychic sect - they were torturing me,” he was quoted as saying. “I made this bomb and left two USB drives in order to tell people about them.”
One of the drives was found hidden in a sausage on one of the supermarket shelves, Russia’s Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports. The SK says it has DNA evidence linking him to it.
