MOSCOW, January 22 (RIA Novosti) – After last year’s explosions in the southern Russian city of Volgograd, the majority of Russians doubt that the authorities can protect them from new terrorist attacks, an independent pollster said Tuesday.

According to a poll conducted by Levada Center, only 29 percent of Russians are convinced that the authorities can protect them from terrorist threats, while 63 percent disagree. Eight percent had no answer.

Two suicide bombings in Volgograd killed 32 people and injured dozens more days before the New Year.

A total of 44 percent said it was impossible to avert the attacks, while 45 percent said the blasts were preventable. The rest had no answer.

The vast majority of Russians (78 percent) were convinced that killing terrorists is the only way to solve the problem. Only 15 percent say it can be resolved through negotiations.

It will depend on the eyes of the public to find the terrorists before they strike.

50 years ago, the soviets would have rounded up all the rag heads and either shot them or sent them off to gulag labor camps. Something to be said for the old Soviet Union.

I would have more faith in the Russians than I would have in the clown car denizens “protecting” us.

Islam’s war against civilization is far from over.

And even if they could, who’d protect them from the authorities?

I think the Russians are just being realistic about this, however I have no way to analyze accuracy or manipulation in RN polls. All I can say is it “sounds” right.

Al Qaeda will attack anyone they have a beef with. This includes Iran and China (which they will try to target at the Olympics this year).

From what I understand there are three of these “widows” running loose. Your solution would only take care of one.

Safety is an illusion in this regard.

A person who is prepared to die in the attack
Is almost impossible to stop from killing.

I’d pass on these Olympics.
