It's not like single human lives are worth anything in Russia (in the eyes of authority); this is, however, a great avenue for them to make a big propaganda event and execute a bunch of somebodies for this. They've made big noises in the press about hurf durf machismo we will kill every terrorist ever because we are Russia, guilt won't necessarily even get into it anymore, if it ever does in Russia. The gub'ment's response may have started out as ineptness, but they certainly seized on the opportunity after the dust and body-bits settled.
