Publication: Monitor Volume: 2 Issue: 140

In response to the recent spate of bombings in Moscow, the governor of Russia’s Sverdlovsk oblast has introduced a "special regime" in the region and ordered the police to maintain a constant presence on public highways. Governor Eduard Rossel justified his action by the fact that Sverdlovsk is home to an unspecified number of nuclear weapons plants, saying "We have something more dangerous than trolleybuses."
