is irreparable," St. Petersburg Governor Valentina Matviyenko said, laying
the claret red roses to the memorial plaque with the names of the train
terror victims at the Moskovsky railway station in the Russian northern

country," Matviyenko noted.

back to the Leningradsky railway station hall, bought flowers and laid
them down in commemoration of the terror victims.
People also came to the tragedy site, where a high wooden cross was
placed in commemoration about the tragic events. The flowers are lying and
the candles are lit up at the bottom of the cross covered with the snow
