Russia has fought two wars against Chechen separatism since the nineteen nineties. As many as one hundred thousand people were killed in the violence. This has caused a reaction among so-called Black Widows. These are women who lost husbands, fathers, sons or brothers to violence and who have become suicide bombers.
19世纪90年代,俄罗斯发动了两次反对车臣分裂主义的战争,数十万人在战争中丧生。这导致了这些所谓的“黑寡妇”的暴力回应。“黑寡妇”是指这些失去了丈夫、父亲、儿子或兄弟,并成为自杀人体炸弹的妇女。
The Moscow Times newspaper reports that women were involved in about sixty percent of the nearly forty rebel attacks since two thousand one.
莫斯科时报,这些妇女涉及了2001年以来的近40起叛军袭击事件中的60%。
The attacks have killed nine hundred people. Black widows are also suspected in Monday's bombings in Moscow.
这些袭击事件导致了900人丧生。黑寡妇还涉嫌制造了莫斯科周一发生的爆炸事件。
Many experts question whether the Russian government can carry out its threat to destroy the terrorists. Independent Russian military expert Alexander Golts says the situation suggests that security in the North Caucasus cannot be tightened further.He says the only solution is the establishment of real institutions of government throughout Russia. He says this means establishing the rule of law, rejecting the idea of a police state and supporting the separation of power.
许多专家质疑俄罗斯政府是否能够履行其摧毁恐怖分子的承诺。俄罗斯独立军事专家Alexander Golts说,情况表明北高加索地区的安全状况无法被控制。他说,唯一的解决办法是俄罗斯全国范围内的真正的政府机构的建立。他说,这就是建立法治,拒绝了一个警察国家的想法和支持三权分立。
Following the Moscow bombings, some international security experts say this kind of violence cannot be permanently stopped. But they say governments can do more to prevent mass killings. Cities in the United States and Europe have increased security in and around their mass transportation systems.
莫斯科爆炸事件之后,一些国际安全专家表示,这种暴行永远无法被遏止。但是他们说,政府可以做得更多以防止此类大规模屠杀的发生。美国和欧洲城市已经提高了主要运输系统及其周边的安全警戒。
