Explosion at the Lianozovsky market in Moscow

On September 14, 2008 at 13.30 in Moscow on the Lianozovsky market (not far from the Lianozovo railway platform) an explosion occurred between two stalls. As a result, four people were injured: 40-year-old Igor Tsurka (contusion); 31-year-old Elena Smirnova (open wounds), 40-year-old Islam Gasimov (leg injuries) and 12-year-old Alexander Kuchenkov (open soft tissue wounds). All of them were hospitalized.

According to law enforcement agencies, the explosion was equivalent in power to 400-500 grams of TNT. "The homemade device was in a glass jar filled with explosives, bolts and nuts. According to eyewitnesses, two unidentified people threw the device into a dumpster and set it on fire by setting fire to the cord, after which they disappeared. "

According to the type of explosive device and the handwriting of the crime, it resembles the explosion that occurred in Moscow on September 4 near the Artizan summer cafe , where people from the Caucasus held a wake. Then one person died and about ten were injured (here, the :criminal; version still remains dominant).

Initially, the version of criminal competition between market traders was considered. However, then there were versions about the involvement of neo-Nazis in the explosions. In August 2009, it was announced that the suspect in the case was a minor (born 1993) neo-Nazi involved in a series of bombings.
