All metro stations in St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city, now closed.
No traces of heavy soot in St #Petersburg metro explosion(s), so seem it had a good oxygen balance. Small hexogen (RDX) load w/ fragments?
Rumors swirl around 200-300 grams of high explosives...

✔ @MoscowTimes Police disarmed a 2nd bomb at another subway station. It was reportedly packed with 1kg of TNT—5x more than the bomb that did explode today.

12 months ago, #Russia blamed the #EU's policy for the Brussels attacks ...
http://www.rferl.org/a/brussels-atta.../27628919.html …
Already some blaming "democracy," the protests, Navalny.
Others suspect FSB/Putin.
Distrust rampant in corrupt regime.
By Putin's own admission minimum 4,000 Russian nationals have gone to Syria. Reasonable that some have returned to strike back.

Russian TV talking heads not yet willing to rule out Ukrainian special forces as culprits behind subway bombing.
Moscow has chosen sides in a sectarian conflict abroad — and that can lead to tragedy at home

Putin and Lukashenko emerge from hours of meetings in St Petersburg, and Putin opens by talking about gas deals, not the metro bomb...
Have been long stretches with DAILY attacks, mostly bombings, including suicides.
But Russia & world like to pretend Caucasus is alien land.

Putin signed decree of exempting people under Western sanctions paying taxes.
