On February 1st, 9 days after the terrorist attack at Domodedovo airport, Moscow will remember the victims of this tragedy. Over the part 10 years in Russia, according to information from public sources, more than 70 terrorist attacks have taken place. Most of these have been in the North Caucasus. Since 2001 there have been more than 1,300 killed in these crimes, and about 3,500 injured, but there is still no such thing as “a victim of terrorist attack” under Russian law. Irina Halay, chairman of the ‘Volga-Don’ public organization promoting the protection of the rights of victims of the Volgodonsk terrorist attack, discusses with Radio Liberty who or what is interfering with the adoption of such a law:

Irina Halay: Russia is the only country where there is no law on the social protection of victims of terrorist attacks. The Beslan children, the Volgodonsk children, and the children of ‘Nord-Ost’ are in need of rehabilitation. It should have been necessary to treat children and then observe them for a protracted period, as well as mothers who were pregnant and gave birth while still injured from these attacks. This never happened, and so children with various syndromes were born.
