Terror culture park. Terrorist attacks in the Russian metro. Dossier. Suicide bombers - the main characters

Exactly eight years ago, on March 29, 2010, two explosions thundered in the Moscow metro during the morning rush hour. The first - at the Lubyanka, 40 minutes later the second explosive device went off at the Park of Culture. Both bombs were attached to suicide bombers. Responsibility for the explosions was immediately claimed by the leader of the "Caucasian Emirate" Doku Umarov. 40 people died, 168 were injured. Most are Russians, as well as citizens of Tajikistan, the Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and Israel.

The first explosion became known at 07:56. The mine was fixed on a suicide bomber standing near the second door of the second carriage. The device detonated when the train stopped on the platform and the driver was about to open the doors. The power of the explosive device was about four kilograms of TNT. This explosion killed 24 people.

After that, the movement of trains along the Sokolnicheskaya line was completely stopped. But by this time the second terrorist was already in the train, which stopped on the stretch between Frunzenskaya and Park Kultury. The driver brought the train to the station and asked the passengers to get off. It was at this moment, at 08:37, that the second explosion thundered in the third car. The power of the bomb was equivalent to two kilograms of TNT. The victims were 16 people, four of whom died two days later in the hospital.

The devices used a powerful explosive hexogen, and as striking elements - pieces of reinforcement and iron bolts.

Immediately after the tragedy, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the metropolitan subway evacuated about 3.5 thousand people from the metro, blocked the section from Sportivnaya to Komsomolskaya and closed a number of stations.

Mariam Sharipova, a native of Dagestan, turned out to be the killer of passengers on the Lubyanka. According to some sources, she was the wife of Magomedali Vagabov, and according to others, a terrorist named Doctor Muhammad. The terrorist who exploded at the Park of Culture was

widow of the leader of the Dagestan militants Umalat Magomedov Jennet Abdurakhmanova.

According to the investigation, the terrorists deliberately chose the metro as the site of the terrorist attack in order to create public outcry both in Russia and abroad.

Firstly, the morning rush hour was chosen, when the metro is extremely crowded.

Secondly, both terrorists set off the mines at the moment when the trains

After the explosion at the Lubyanka, a strong smoke began in the car, eyewitnesses report. “During the explosion, I was at the crossing from Kuznetsky Most to the Lubyanka station, climbed the escalator to the crossing and heard a strong bang, an explosion,” eyewitness Alexey told RIA Novosti. “A cloud of dust escaped from above, people ran along the escalator, When I went to Lubyanka Square, there were already rescuers, firefighters, police and ambulances.

“I was in the next car when the explosion occurred,” said a passenger of the “Red Arrow” blown up at the Lubyanka, “quotes the words of another eyewitness to LifeNews. “The doors of the next car literally turned outward. At least 15 people died immediately.”

One of the passengers caught the moment of the explosion while crossing from the Kuznetsky Most to the Lubyanka station. "I was directly climbing the escalator to the crossing and heard a pop, an explosion. The door near me, near the transition, bent. A cloud of dust descended on the escalator from above, people ran along the escalator. People began to fall, there was a bunch of them. I also ran," "Vesti.Ru" quotes a witness.

“We didn’t understand what had happened, we thought that the ceiling had collapsed onto the car. Everyone screamed,” said the girl who was in the car next to the blown up car (quote from ITAR-TASS). “It was only when we went out into the street that we learned about the explosion.” .

The first victims of the explosion in the Moscow metro

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the explosion at the Lubyanka station killed 24 people, 39 were injured. Up to a hundred vehicles of various operational services gathered at Lubyanka Square - the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the gas emergency service, the metro emergency service, the police, ambulance, resuscitation, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the traffic police and others. After the explosion at Lubyanka, the movement of trains in the metro was not stopped. The trains, albeit with extended intervals, were heading towards the Park of Culture, where the second explosion occurred.

Before the explosion, all passengers on the train were asked to leave the cars. “We arrived at the Park Kultury, they said that the train was not going further and asked to free the cars.
I went out, called home, they said that there was an explosion at the Lubyanka. Terrible. He hung up and went to the transition. For some reason, a siren howled in the passage and, apparently, the escalator did not work, as soon as it reached it, an explosion thundered from behind, "writes photographer Ivan Bukhradze.

“I was riding in the last car of the train,” eyewitness Roman tells GZT.RU. “Our train was moving with constant breaks. At each station it stood for a long time, we were told that the train would leave in so many minutes. "Park Kultury" metro station announced to us that the train would not go any further. They asked us to free the cars. Some kind of fuss began on the platform, an unhealthy revival. And then there was a light pop. I was alert, I thought that someone was shooting from a traumatic pistol. Then, when the smoke went, everything became clear.

Evacuation from the train at the station "Park Kultury"

As an eyewitness of the events wrote in the blog davete.livejournal.com, after the explosion at the Lubyanka, he was at the Lenin Library. "The train waited for about 7 minutes. Then it stood at the station for about the same ... Thus, we stood for 7-10 minutes at Kropotkinskaya, then on the stretch between Kropotkinskaya and Park Kultury. I get off at the Park Kultury" I was about to go up to the exit. Police officers were walking nearby. Some woman addressed them: “What happened? "-" Oh, yes, some kind of accident, technical reasons. "At the same second, an explosion thundered," he writes.

As a result of the explosion at the Park Kultury metro station, 13 people were killed and more than 30 were injured. Vladimir Markin, official representative of the UPC RF, said that the explosion in the car occurred at the moment the doors were opened at a height of about 1.6 meters. And the explosive device was detonated by a suicide bomber. The basis of the explosive device was plastite, he said. And soon the head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, reported to President Dmitry Medvedev that an explosive hexogen had been detonated in the Moscow metro. According to him, the power of the bomb that went off at the Lubyanka was 4 kg. According to him, militants from North Caucasus: the investigation has sketches of suicide bombers who boarded the subway at the final terminal of the Sokolnicheskaya line - the Yugo-Zapadnaya station.

Further versions of events vary. Some eyewitnesses report that there was no panic at the Park of Culture. “We heard a soft pop and did not understand what had happened,” Oset Kuliyev, who was in one of the train cars during the explosion, told reporters. “Then, when people realized that this was a terrorist attack, everyone began to leave the cars, and there was practically There was no explosion in the train announced over the loudspeaker and people were instructed how to behave in this situation, that everyone should leave the cars and go up to the city.

Other eyewitnesses say otherwise. According to Fontanka.ru, citing members of the blogosphere, a woman died due to the stampede after the explosion at the Park Kultury station. She was trampled by a crowd trying to leave the station after the station was shrouded in smoke from the explosion. So far, there is no official confirmation of this. But it is reported that there was a strong crush at the Komsomolskaya station. On other metro lines, on the contrary, it is not crowded. Many Muscovites, fearing a recurrence of explosions, refused to travel to the city center.

The movement of trains on the section of the Sokolnicheskaya line from Park Kultury to Komsomolskaya was stopped. This was taken advantage of by private carriers. As the townspeople report in their blogs, fares between 2-4 metro stations have jumped to several thousand rubles. Taxi drivers transported people from Komsomolskaya for no less than 3,000 rubles. On Twitter, they report that there was even a taxi driver in a black Volga who asked for 10,000 rubles for a ride, and they give the number of his car. At the same time, Internet users indicate that on September 9, 2001, in New York, after the terrorist attack, taxi drivers drove people for free.

However, other bloggers focused on those drivers who helped in a difficult moment. The well-known blogger Drugoi writes: “Today everyone writes about some taxi drivers who took 3,000 rubles from people to bring them to the center. ". And there was a whole string of cars, the drivers of which took passengers to them just like that, for free. She left like that, in a hefty SUV - the man didn’t take anything from the passengers. I have such a person in my friend - sergelin. He purposely went to deliver people on their VAZ "four". So, people are all different - there is shit, but there are people. "

Dmitry Gaev once said that the Moscow metro is one of the safest transport systems in the world. However, the history of the metropolitan metro knows many tragic events. The article tells about the most terrible explosions in the subway.

In Moscow, terrorist attacks took place not only in the 2000s, but also in Soviet times. The first one took place in 1977 - between the stations "Pervomaiskaya" and "Izmailovskaya". This explosion in the metro in Moscow was followed by a number of other terrorist attacks. But they have already taken place on the surface. Fires and accidents in the subway occurred more than once in the 20th century. Similar cases in Soviet times were not made public. It is believed that in most cases falsification took place.

Explosion in the subway in Moscow (1996)

This was the first tragic event that occurred in the metropolitan metro after the collapse of the USSR. In the history of the Moscow Metro, the 1996 explosion was the second terrorist attack. It happened between Nagatinskaya and Tulskaya. An explosive device exploded on a train between these stations. Four people died and fourteen were injured. One carriage was completely destroyed, several were damaged. Passengers traveled to the nearest station on foot. The investigation showed that the explosive device was homemade, it was a high-explosive type device, equivalent in power to a kilogram of TNT.

In November 1997, two suspects were detained. Their names were not released. However, it is known that the guilt of the detainees was not proven. The case was never closed. Information then appeared in the press that Chechen terrorists took the blame. However, this information has not been officially confirmed.

1998

On January 1, an electric train driver found a small bag at the entrance to the Tretyakovskaya station. Opening it, he saw wires and batteries. The driver took the find to the duty officer, and she, in turn, called the police. The explosion took place before the arrival of employees law enforcement. Fortunately, no one died. The attendant received minor injuries.

Explosion at a shopping mall

In 2000, a terrorist attack in Moscow took place not in the subway itself, but in an underpass. Men of Caucasian appearance approached the employee of the stall. They wanted to pay for the purchase in dollars. The seller refused, explaining where the nearest exchange office is. The men left, leaving their bags next to the tent, but never returned. After some time, the seller turned to an employee of a private security company, reporting suspicious things. The explosion thundered at the moment when the guard was approaching the stall. Thirteen people died. Over a hundred were injured. The names of those responsible are still unknown.

Explosion in 2004

A memorial plaque hangs at the Avtozavodskaya station. On it are the names of those killed in one of the worst terrorist attacks in Moscow. The explosion that took place on the morning of February 6, 2004 was carried out by a suicide bomber. This time, the organizers of the terrorist act were found, and as a result of the trial, they were sentenced to life imprisonment. Six months after this explosion, another one occurred in Moscow - near the Rizhskaya metro station. The investigation established that their authors committed the terrorist attack on Avtozavodskaya.

Explosions at the Park Kultury and Lubyanka stations

This terrorist act, like most similar crimes, was committed at rush hour, at a time when city residents were heading to work. The explosions took place on March 29, 2010, both on the Sokolnicheskaya Line. The first one is at 07:56. An explosive device went off at the Lubyanka station, causing the train to stop. However, there was no evacuation of passengers from the subway, a standard message about traffic delays was announced over the loudspeaker, as well as recommendations to use surface transport.

The second explosion occurred forty minutes later at the "Park Kultury", in the third car of the train heading towards the "Podbelsky Street". After that, the evacuation began, which was carried out by employees of the metro and the Ministry of Emergencies.

In the spring of 2010, passport control was strengthened on the streets of Moscow. Stations and airports were taken under special protection. The entrance to the Lubyanka station was opened at 17:00. The power of the explosive device that went off at the "Park Kultury" is equivalent to two kilograms of TNT. On "Lubyanka" - four.

36 people died on the spot. Four more died in the hospital. As a result of explosions at the "Park Kultury" and "Lubyanka" 88 people were injured. Among the victims were citizens not only of Russia, but also of neighboring countries, as well as Israel, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The two dead remain unidentified.

Two criminal cases were opened in the investigative committee, which were subsequently merged into one proceeding. Already in the first days after the explosion, the mayor of Moscow gave an interview in which he announced the involvement of suicide bombers in the crime. On April 6, the identity of one of them was established. A week later, information appeared in the press that the organizers of the crime had been found. To date, these are the last explosions in the Moscow metro, which are classified as terrorist attacks.
