Once it was officially announced that the secret services managed to arrest the suspects in the bombing, one of the main topics was the question: who are these ' turner ' and ' Electric ', capable of such an incredibly brutal act? .
' Komsomolskaya Pravda ' visited the house where he lived one of the detainees, and at school, where he studied.
School, where he studied at the suspect, is located on the outskirts of Vitebsk. ' Komsomolskaya Pravda ' found a teacher who taught for a Man. Nadezhda (name changed. - Ed. ) Taught in those years, the Belarusian language. But the student is not remembered.
- I remember that he studied a boy with a name like that, but perhaps he was a quiet middling - not straight A, and not a bully. If he'd give us something to stand out, I would have remembered.
- Sport is not keen on - says former schools fizruk. - Most likely, the boy was unremarkable, his own mind, otherwise the other guys in our area it would be good to know. His father left the family: a man is not bad, but drinking. Mom is well know, we had worked together.
Mother of one of the detainees, the same friend who was at the apartment at the time of arrest alleged perpetrators of terrorist acts (whose names we can not call it that) at first did not agree to an interview. Shocked woman for several days without sleep. We explained that we do not want anybody to accuse or excuse. The case investigation. But only a mother can tell you about how her son was growing up... and she agreed to.
Detainee 's family lives in a typical five-story building on the outskirts of the industrial district of Vitebsk.
The door to the apartment opened a tired man, it turned out - the young man 's stepfather. He had just come from the shift, excavator works. The apartment smells delicious dinner. In the hallway - neatly and comfortably on the shelf with a mirror - with bottles of perfume.
- Today I prepare myself, because my wife took the day off and drove to his son things. At night there was a search. They took everything, even a rusty barbed wire, on which I land a fish. His friend from next door, too, they say, they took.
About stepfather stepson said little:.
- Communicated us a little - he has his own life, we have our own. Everyone should have his head on his shoulders, did not kid two years.
A woman can not believe that her son is able to attack.
- I do not know what happened, but I'm sure of one thing: my child is unable to perform! . At work, he was appreciated: even in the workbook is written promotion. And after school is a good description of.
In Minsk, he decided to go to learn the trade manager. Even money for the courses introduced. It was in December last year. But when I arrived, it turned out that the group did not collect. In Vitebsk decided not to return, waiting for the courses in the capital. When the money started to end, took a job at one of Minsk enterprises electrician. I decided that must be available to receive the necessary technical and specialty. In fact, after high school, he did not finish. For health reasons he could not do, much like he has asthma. Son due to illness, and the army did not take.
He was fond of astronomy. He even wanted to take the exam in this subject. He loved science fiction. Evenings spent in books and computer. In our house was always a lot of boys and girls.
Grew almost home baby... In 16 years, I bought her son a guitar first, the second he made the very. He dreamed of surrender to the law and buy a car, money set aside from each paycheck.
After high school son registered at the Employment. In the direction of the employment service has finished training electricians, got a job. In the first month of the salary gave me. He felt sorry for me, gave gifts for all holidays. Understand how difficult a raise two children.
But none of it is still a single bad word said! .
But I never liked his friend ( he is now also detained in blast case. - Ed. ). I spoke to his son, and they were in the same class. My boy could not do anything wrong. Is that the occasional drink with a friend. But who does not drink? . But after the army, they again began to talk....
P. S. In the prosecutor's office said that the investigation will last for another two months. Terrorists are facing the death penalty.
