zhevsk, capital of the Russian Republic of Udmurtia west of the Ural mountains diving Europe and Asia.
September 26, 2022Shooting at School Number 88
Deaths 17 Wounded 24
Casualties in this developing news report have included children, teachers, and security guards.
“Death toll climbs in Russian school shooting: More victims of the school shooting rampage in the Udmurt Republic have died in the hospital, bringing the tally to 17,” September 26, 2022, RT news https://www.rt.com/russia/563520-school-shooting-izhevsk-ural/
It is of some interest, at least to me, that the Izhevsk shooter was wearing Nazi insignia on his clothing and US officials are reportedly backing Nazi individuals in Eastern Europe. Moreover, history has documented that this far from the first time US officials have supported Nazis and other terrorist operatives. This is a sad day for many reasons.
Izhevsk, situated along the Izh River west of the Ural Mountains in Eastern Europe, is said to date back to the mid-eighteenth century. During 1984-1987, the city was called “Ustinov,” after the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic’s late Minister of Defense, Dmitry Ustinov. Today, Izhevsk answers to the titles “Armory Capital of Russia” and “City of Labor Glory.” It is lauded as the Volga Region’s “major hub of industry, commerce, politics, culture and education;” and is particularly known “for its defense, engineering and metallurgy industries.” Its total population is roughly 648,213.
