Aleksandr Fomenko, an independent analyst, has claimed that the Nevsky Express train crash was specially orchestrated by the enemies of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

“Prime Minister Putin has got a lot of enemies – not only disappointed criminal Godfathers in the country or undisciplined oligarchs abroad, but also some global players. But, of course, we cannot know the exact name of the mastermind of this attack. The most important question is why this happened at this moment – after the reconciliation with the American administration, after the visit of Mr. Miliband to Moscow – when the international situation for Kremlin looked too good to last long. Especially when the economic situation is far from good. That is why these people decided to create some kind of instability in the country,” Fomenko believes.

Hello Mr. Aleksandr Fomenko, Perhaps, it is possible that this heinous terrorist act was orchestrated by the enemies of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. However, this heinous crime is against humanity- and most of all- it was against the Russian people and the Russian Federation. The security of the Russian people cannot be reduced to that of the prerogative Prime Minister Putin. This responsibility is shared by the Russian people and the Russian government[its three branches: the Civil Society, Executive Branch and the Judiciary]. I think it is very dangerous move to personalize the security of the Russian people. Putin is a great leader. He must remain active not only in the economic domain but in the national security. However, I cannot see why terrorism against the people of Russia is not the work of the enemies of all the Russian people rather than being against Putin? I respect the author’s opinion but it is pertinent to keep in mind that Stalin was responsible for the catastrophe of 1941 but he took all the credit of winning the war! On the contrary, Putin brought security and stability to Russia but it is bad idea to make that into a personal effort rather than that of the role of an able President Putin. Linking the security of the Russian people with any one man is dangerous. I cannot see how this analysis helps the confidence of the Russian people on their government if their security is linked to one man, no matter how able and great he might be.

Anyone knows why Putin haven't reacted publicly to the train attack yet? I read one of his friends died in it but I don't know if that's the reason he didn't say anything. Any suggestions?

from Poland, You say "this accident" - well I think this says it all about you. It wasn't an accident it was terrorism, or are you giving more away than you wanted to about what you know. It is the usual disgraceful story from the Poles; that it is just a mere accident that Russians are killed by bombs, now go an crawl back under your rock, be that in Poland or in Iraq where you are part of an illegal invasion. Leave the sorting out of terrorists to the big boys like us. That sorting out may require quite large measures, especially against those trying to acquire chemical weapons in Europe. Are we up to it! you bet!
