Firstly, there can be no justification for terrorism. Violence and killing of people cannot be justified by any social or political circumstances. This is important to say right away!

Secondly, I do not agree with journalist Svetlana Prokopyeva, who blames the state for allegedly raising terrorists. It would be too simple: since there is a terrorist, it means that the state itself is to blame for the fact that he exists, it raised him that way. There are terrorists in almost every country, and by this logic, absolutely any state can be blamed. Moreover, not only in the education of terrorists, but in any troubles. However, if there is no justification for terrorism, then there must be an explanation!

And when Svetlana Prokopyeva remembers the terrorist attack in Arkhangelsk and tries to name its reasons, she does not justify it, but still seeks an explanation. Justification is actually support. Did Prokopyeva support the attempt to blow up the FSB building? Prokopyeva spoke about the reasons that, in her opinion, could push this guy to such an act. And if we cannot justify terrorism, then we must explain! A journalist is obliged to pose such questions and look for answers to them! And in fact, the behavior of citizens really depends on the policy of the state. Somewhere such conditions are created that people are left without normal work, live in poverty and become drunkards. The state launches propaganda attacks on the brains and in some people these brains boil and explode. And indeed, when on the one hand a person is pressured by politics, on the other hand he is pressured by everyday life, on the third hand there is disorder in the family or with friends or something else, someone can be locked in and he will find a way out for himself even in terror, protesting , thus against everything at once, your entire life. This is a crime and a tragedy at the same time.

We cannot remain silent about this; we must look for reasons. What actually happens? They simply grab a journalist for a sharp phrase and try to turn him into a terrorist. This doesn’t solve the problem, it doesn’t explain anything to anyone. But the police or security officers may report on the neutralization of another extremist. If Svetlana Prokopyeva, God forbid, is brought to justice, will the terrorist threat really become less? Or is the main thing not to say a bad word about the state?
