About this episode
June's deadly and coordinated attacks on synagogues, churches, and police posts in Daghestan's Makhachkala and Derbent have led to the deaths of 22 people, as well as five attackers. The authorities in the Russian republic and in Moscow have since scrambled to find someone or something to blame, including Ukraine, niqab, and MMA.
