Moscow metro bombing: the backlash begins

The first reaction of Muscovites to this challenge is, of course, anger.

Against whom? Mostly against the Chechens and other inhabitants of the North Caucasus: even though no perpetrators have been caught, and clues as to who committed the crime have yet to emerge, it has already been announced that there is a North Caucasian connection. A neighbour was shouting hysterically over the phone to me: “Poison these bloody Chechens like vermin, instead of showering money on them!” Another said: “Get them all out of Moscow. Close the city, then it will be safe and clean.”
