During the last month, Russia has been the victim of so-called 'telephone terrorism' of massive proportions. A wave of calls and messages with threats about planted bombs rolled throughout the whole country, engulfing cities in 50 regions. Calls came in numerous and regular quantity, reaching more than 100 in one day in some cases, like on October 6 in Moscow, for example. Threats were aimed at locations where large crowds of people congregate, such as airports, train stations, shopping malls, universities, schools and even kindergartens.
