    It’s a video. The video deserves to be evaluated on it’s own merits (or lack thereof).

    The “evidence” picked up by Western news agencies doesn’t really hold water. I spent some effort debunking it in another comment: these are some really unradicalized radical Islamic extremists.

      Are part of those merits on which it should be analysed who released it?

        Your claim is that Russia can’t or won’t adequate investigate a terrorist attack on Russian soil?

            Have you read that article? The sources claiming it are all mainstream media sources, and the sources discrediting it are all academic articles.

            It wouldn’t be the first time that mainstream media and academia have diverged on a subject.

              The sources you reference are Russian state media.

                For the claim that Russia committed a terrorist attack on its own soil? That’s a claim you’re making.

                  Did I say they did this terrorist attack on “their” own soil, or did I express doubt at their laughable assertions ISIS-K is a branch of Ukraine?
