Russia insider commits: Moscow attack “staged by the Kremlin’s” Russia expert Anders Åslund believes Russia's involvement in the Moscow attack is possible. Other experts contradict his theory.

Russia expert Gerhard Mangott supports the Swedish economist's assumptions. According to Mangott, Putin is now under pressure to act with retaliatory actions against the U.S. embassy in Washington. The attack on Moscow also brings disadvantages for the Russian government and secret service, says Mangott.
