In PressPatrol's "Politruk", an article from early last month by the commentator Mavra Kosichkina:
The month of August in Russia has confirmed its ominous reputation yet again. Following last week's simultaneous crashes of two passenger jets that took off from Domodedovo Airport, the press is once again confronting the question of why terrorist attacks that claim many lives happen in late summer and early autumn.
Nezavisimaya Gazeta began its count from September 1999, when apartment building explosions killed 233 people in Moscow and 18 people in Volgodonsk.
A year later, in August 2000, a bombing in a pedestrian underpass on Pushkin Square claimed 13 lives.
The Moscow theater hostage-taking happened in October 2002, with 130 people losing their lives in the operation aimed at freeing the hostages.
In August 2003 there were several terrorist attacks: the truck-bombing of a hospital in Mozdok (50 deaths), the bomb on the Kislovodsk-Mineralnye Vody commuter train (six deaths), a series of bombings at bus stops in Krasnodar (five deaths); hundreds of people were injured.
As everyone knows, the terrorist attacks on America happened on September 11, 2001.
