The Russian president is not going to let the terrorist attack that occurred in Moscow on Friday afternoon go unanswered, Vladimir Putin, according to a BBC analysis.

Yes, the Russian president expected to respond with ‘extreme violence’ in the jihadist terrorist attack.

According to Australian National University professor Matthew Sussex, “Russia has a long history of treating many of the people on its soil who are Muslim, not particularly well.”

“We had two wars in Chechnya. The second from 1999 to 2006 was something of a ‘radicalized’ war, in which there were people who fought with the Islamic State against the Russian government,” Sussex underlined.

And he pointed out: “Since then, Russia’s activities in Syria have made the Islamic State view the Russian government as a primary threat.”

As the professor noted, the Russian response to the Crocus Hall massacre will be one of “extreme violence,” citing as examples the 2002 Moscow theater siege and the 2004 Beslan school siege.

“Perhaps it’s not so important who carried out the attacks, but who does the Russian government decide is to blame and who will they retaliate against?” he commented.
