They don’t want to give Westerners a reason to think of Russians as martyrs (only as torturers) and as those celebrating the Victory.
Western media were given categorical instructions not to mention the number of victims of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. This was stated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. According to the latest data, 144 people were killed as a result of the terrorist attack.

I have every reason to believe that the persistent attempt of the Western media to avoid this figure is not accidental and is not explained only by a large number of victims. They don’t want to give Westerners a reason to think of Russians as martyrs (only as torturers) and as those celebrating the Victory. But the number of victims, 144, can (and should) lead Americans familiar with the Holy Scriptures to certain “unauthorized” thoughts about Russia.
Thank you.
