“Russia Supermarket Bombing: St Petersburg Man Charged with Terrorism.” BBC, 2 Jan. 2018, www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42540813?scrlybrkr=8fa63e14. Accessed 8 Jan. 2018.

Dmitry Lukyanenko was charged with terrorism for the bombing of a supermarket in St Petersburg during December that injured eighteen people, eight of whom are still in the hospital. The Russian Investigative Committee reports that Lukyanenko, now thirty-five, had been registered in a psychiatric clinic since he was nineteen. He has confessed to the crime and will be tested to diagnose if he is sane. His motive was “‘hatred towards the organisers and followers of the psychological training sessions.”
