On Friday night, a horrific attack took place outside Crocus City Hall in Moscow, reminiscent of a similar incident 22 years ago at the Dubrovka Theatre. The attack left bodies strewn on the cold concrete, shaking the sense of safety within the Moscow bubble.
The assailants, believed to be linked to ISIS-K, targeted a crowded mall, running unimpeded despite prior warnings of a threat to public spaces. This incident underscores a resurgence of extremism in Russia, with a new generation of radicals taking aim at the country.
