Such tragedies must not repeat
30.12.2013
Another terrible crime – an explosion in the bus in Volgograd – makes us once again demand from the authorities and the security services to intensify their efforts so that to ensure the security of Russian citizens.
It is necessary not only to adopt all measures so that to identify the perpetrators and organisers of those attacks, but also provide the public with a comprehensive report on the investigation.
The public should also know what the security services are doing today in general, for example, whether considerable human and financial resources that are urgently needed for prevention of acts of and other crimes against Russian citizens are used for suppression of the dissenting and civic activism.
We are urging the State Duma to immediately set up a parliamentary commission to study the actions of the security services for investigation and prevention of terrorist attacks in Volgograd. We consider it necessary to convene soon an expanded session of the State Council on security issues.
Today we have to strengthen measures for prevention of terrorism. A terrible tragedy must not repeat and not only in Volgograd and other Russia’s southern regions, but also across the country.
I am expressing my sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims.

Chairman of the YABLOKO party
