About 100 Volgograd residents commemorate victims of terror act (+video)

Relatives of the victims of the Volgograd terror act have refused to talk to journalists after an action held to honour the memory of the victims of the tragedy.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 21, 2013, an explosion occurred inside a bus. Eight people were killed, including a female suicide bomber, and other 55 were injured.

At the time of the explosion, acquaintances of Gennady Kuznetsov, a deputy of the Volgograd City Duma, a wife of his assistant and his friend were on the bus. "They were injured. This event closely affected me, since my friends were there. The investigating authorities have done everything, but failed to sum up the investigation," said Gennady Kuznetsov.

The action in the memory of the victims of the terror act lasted for 30 minutes. The public order was provided by policemen and members of a voluntary public order squad.
