Krasnogorsk, Russia: One week after Russia's deadliest terror attack in two decades, mourners outside Crocus City Hall expressed a mixture of grief, condolences for the dead and anger.
Russian rock band Piknik was moments away from performing last Friday when gunmen stormed the venue, opened fire and set it ablaze, killing at least 143 people.
Amid the grief and confusion, the Kremlin has acknowledged "radical Islamists" carried out the carnage, arresting 12 people including the four alleged attackers from Tajikistan.
But it has directed much of its anger at arch-foe Ukraine. It insists that Kyiv was intimately involved in the attack, despite having provided no evidence.
A few paces from the burnt-out building where rescuers had been searching for bodies days before, a mound of flowers, hand-written notes and toys continues to grow.
