1,561 have suffered terrorist attacks in Moscow over the last 15 years
The blast at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on January 24th was the 26th terrorist attack to take place in the Russian capital since 1996, and the first to happen at a Moscow international airport. Since 1996, the targets of terrorists in Moscow have been various crowded locales: hotels, stations, shopping malls, concert halls, transport, and even apartment buildings. At least 627 have been killed and 934 injured. Suicide bombers carried out at least 10 of these attacks. The above figures are calculations by ‘Caucasian Knot’, and based on open-source data*.
2011
January 24th: Bombing in the international terminal at Domodedovo airport occurred at 4:32 pm. The power of the explosive device was about seven kilograms of TNT. According to recent reports, 35 were killed and 110 hospitalized. According to a preliminary theory, the explosive device was detonated by a 30–40 year-old stocky male who most likely was of European appearance.
2010
March 29th: Two explosions on the Moscow metro. The first was at the Lubyanka metro station and occurred at 7:56 am Moscow time. The second explosion was at 8:40 am at the Culture Park (formally Gorky Park) metro station. According to the FSB, two Dagestan residents, a wife and a widow of Dagestan militants, carried out the attacks. Doku Umarov, the leader of the North Caucasus militant underground, assumed responsibility. According to Umarov, the attacks were revenge for Russian military actions in Chechnya. During these terrorist attacks 40 were killed and more than 130 received injuries of varying severities.
2006
August 21st: An explosion at the Cherkizovsky marketplace in Moscow claimed 14 lives. More than 60 people were injured.

2004
February 6th: A blast in the Moscow metro inside the second car of a subway train on a stretch between the Paveletskaya and Avtozavodskaya subway stations. A suicide bomber committed the terrorist attack. The bomb was packed with nuts and bolts to increase its lethality. 41 were killed and another 134 wounded. Investigators identified the terrorist as 21-year-old Anzor Izhaev, a resident of Karachay-Cherkessia.
August 24th: Two passenger aircraft blown up in mid-air, a Tu-154 on the Moscow to Sochi route, and a Tu-134 flying from Moscow to Volgograd. Both departed from Moscow’s Domodedovo airport. In both cases suicide bombers were able to board. 90 killed.
August 24th: On the same day as the destruction of the passenger jets, an explosion at a bus stop near the Kashirskaya subway station in Moscow injured four. No deaths. As in 2002, the crime was linked to organized crime.
August 31st: A female suicide bomber blew herself up at the Riga subway station in Moscow, killing 10 and wounding more than 50. According to investigators, the explosion also killed the organizer of the attack, Nikolai Kipkeev, a native of Karachay-Cherkessia.

December 9th: A bombing at the Hotel National in central Moscow. Six killed and 14 injured.
2002
October 19th: A car was blown up near a McDonald’s restaurant by the Southwest subway station on Pokryshkin Street in Moscow. Police originally blamed the explosion on organized crime, but later declared it to be a terrorist attack. One person killed and 8 injured.
October 23rd: A group of terrorists led by Movsar Barayev seized the theatrical complex on Dubrovka, where the musical ‘Nord-Ost’ was being performed, and over 1000 taken hostage. The building was stormed three days later, on October 26th. More than 130 hostages were killed while the rest were released. All the terrorists were killed.
2001
February 6th: A bomb exploded in the Belarusskaya-ring subway station during rush hour at 6:50 pm Moscow time. The bomb was placed under a massive marble bench near where the first subway car halted. No deaths, but 9 were wounded by shrapnel, including two children.
2000
August 8th: During rush hour at about 6:00 pm Moscow time a bomb exploded in the pedestrian underpass beneath Pushkin Square by the entrances to the Tverskaya and Pushkinskaya subway stations. The suicide attack killed seven and injured 53. Many were wounded by glass fragments blown out from the windows of small stores in the passageway.
1999
April 26th: Moscow was shaken this year by a series of major terrorist attacks. The first explosion of the year was in an elevator at an Intourist hotel. No deaths at the time, but 11 were injured.
August 31st: Four months later, a bomb exploded on the third floor of the Okhotny Ryad shopping mall on Manege Square. At the time, one person was killed and 40 wounded. The explosion was originally linked to organized crime, but later determined to be a terrorist attack.
September 9th: 10 days later an apartment building on Guyanov Street in Moscow was blown up. 109 were killed and more than 200 injured.
1998
January 1st: An improvised explosive device was detonated in the Tretyakov subway station. The blast was of low power and there were no deaths, though three were hospitalized with wounds of varying severities.
1996
June 11th: At about 9:00 pm Moscow time, on the Serpukhskaya subway line between the Tula and Nagatinskaya stations in Moscow, a bomb laid under a seat in the first subway car went off. The explosive device was equivalent to about 500 grams of TNT. Four were killed and 12 injured.
July 11th and 12th: Trolley buses on Moscow city routes #12 and #48 were blown up. No deaths, 8 injured in the first explosion and 26 in the second.
Moscow’s first terrorist is thought to be the bombing on its subway on January 8th, 1977, during the reign of the Soviet Union. A subway train between the Izmailovskaya and May Day stations was blown up. Among the deaths were several families returning from a viewing of the New Year’s tree. Two more explosions rocked Moscow on the same day. The total killed were 7, and 37 were injured.
According to the official investigation, Yerevan residents Stepan Zatikyan, Akop Stepanyan, and Zaven Baghdasaryan organized the bombings. During their studies at the Yerevan Polytechnic Institute they had formed the underground ‘National United Party of Armenia’ and called for the return of Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia. All three were sentenced to death and executed in 1979.
However, even during the 1970s not everyone considered the official investigation by the Soviet government objective and truthful. It was argued that the authorities deliberately linked the bombings to the activities of dissidents in order to discredit the latter. On January 12th, 1977, academician Andrey Sakharov suggested, “the bombing of the Moscow subway and the ensuing tragic loss of life is the newest and most dangerous provocation by the repressive government in recent years,” and later openly declared, “there is good reason to fear that in this case there has been a miscarriage of justice, or deliberate falsification.”
* When specifying the numbers of victims of terrorist attacks, as a rule we have used official data published in open sources. One must be aware, however, that if at first the authorities were not inclined to underreport the number of terrorist attack victims, since 2002 official data on the number of victims of terrorist attacks may be understated.
