Here is a link to an article from The Guardian which highlights all the major terrorists attacks in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The significance of this is that it highlights how as much as the Russian government wants to believe they are moving forward and getting rid of curruption in the country, a level of instability is still very much present. In a truly devolped and sucessful deomcratic nation, we don't have this many major bombings in our country. In the United States, the last major terrorist attack was 9/11. In Canada, we have only had threats but (knock on wood) our government has dealt with these threats appropriately.
