On April 11, 2011, a bomb detonated in Minsk subway (Belarus) killing 15 people. 

The following day, April 12, suspects were arrested. The day after, April 13, the crime was reported as solved. Within the next 11 months suspects were convicted and quickly executed in March 2012. 

The bombing was surprisingly timely and beneficial for Lukashenko who was “re-elected” for his FOURTH presidential term just few months ago (in December), and protests against him were rising in Belarus. Terrorist attack allowed Lukashenko to halt further protests, to justify violence against opposition and to strengthen his dictatorship.

On April 3, 2017, a bomb exploded in Saint Petersburg subway (Russia) killing 11 people.

The bombing occurred just one week after the massive anti-Putin protests in Russia, in which protesters in almost 100 cities of Russia for the first time openly called Putin thief and demanded him to resign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cy6pZoPjuc

Interestingly, that initially Russian mass media reported about two explosions in Saint Petersburg subway on two different trains. However, as it was figured out later, the second bomb did not detonate and was found in a bag on another subway station. How did their sources know that there will be two explosions?

If you didn’t see the documentary “Blowing up Russia”, about the 1999 Russian apartment bombings committed by Russian state security services, you should definitely watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sx2YmSXDy8
