On the day Irina Slavina decided to kill herself, Alexei noticed nothing unusual in his wife. It was her mother's 70th birthday and Irina had baked her an apple charlotte to celebrate.
At 13:34 Alexei rang her mobile and the couple spoke briefly: "Just normal things, like when she'd be back." Two hours later he got a call to say that Irina had set herself on fire beneath the walls of the local Interior Ministry.
Her last post on Facebook read: "I ask you to blame the Russian Federation for my death."

Sad. Also sad is the fact there are people who believe the US is the worst place in the world. Mostly people who have never been anywhere else, I expect.

PO3 Patricia Miner
There are at least two generations of voting age who have not been taught history. They have no idea how the rest of the world operates and how it affects the US. It's unconscionable that our school curriculums are this way. My daughter was born in 1988 and the only history she was taught came from me.
On top of that the media and Democrats keep putting out the message Russia is our enemy. They may not be our friend but they are not our enemy. There is no longer a cold war. Russia has actually served as an ally on a few occasions that benefited it. For instance wiping out ISIS.
I learned all of this in school so I understood world affairs. It's pathetic the younger generations
