Memorial service held in Moscow for victims of dual metro bombings
In the chilly Moscow winter of 2010, two devastating bombings rocked the city's metro system, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of many. On the 11th of March, the metro stations "Lubyanka" and "Park Kultury" were hit by double bombings, claiming the lives of 40 people and injuring around 100 more.
The perpetrators behind the attack were neutralized by FSB operatives, but the investigation that followed revealed the identities of the female suicide bombers as Mariam Sharipova and Janet Abdurakhmanova from Dagestan.
In the wake of the tragedy, Moscow authorities focused on enhancing passenger safety. Measures taken included installing cameras, acquiring special baggage screening devices, and equipping security personnel with metal detectors.
The victims of the bombings were passengers in the metro who were killed or injured by the explosions. Unfortunately, detailed information about the victims is not widely available. However, every year, residents bring flowers to these metro stations to pay tribute to the lives lost.
Compensation was provided to families affected by the explosions at "Lubyanka" and "Park Kultury". The compensation was likely provided by the government or insurance companies, but no details were given about how the compensation was determined. The compensation for families ranged from 50,000 to 300,000 rubles, and it was dependent on the severity of injuries.
However, no mention was made of compensation for those who died in the explosions, nor was there any information provided about any compensation for property damage or psychological trauma. Additionally, no further information about the compensation process was provided.
No additional support services for the families affected by the explosions were mentioned in the available search results.
Today, these metro stations stand as a sombre reminder of the dark day in Moscow's history. Yet, they also serve as a testament to the resilience of the city and its people, who continue to pay tribute to the victims each year.
