It's too easy to point fingers in the dark and miss all the underlying causes when things like that happen.
That's why all i'm going to say is that as a Greek i have a soft spot for the Russian people, their culture and the often majestic way they have proven to carry themselves under situations of stress, sacrifice and conflict.
I hope that Russia can gradually integrate its different ethnic groups into a peaceful and prosperous future, and i raise a shot of Smirnoff to those that died and will die to get there. I know it's sad, but this is what we humans are. The journey is bad a lot of times, so let's hope the destination is at least worth it.
P.S. It's not only Russians who need a stronger Russia. I think the entire world needs it too to bring some balance.
