What's reported via the Brit Guardian this AM....as some site in Ust-Ilimsk (town of 86k residents, about 1,200 miles to the east of Moscow)....a group of reservists (various ages) were brought into a building, and some military recruitment officer was giving his 'talk'.
It's probably a BS 'talk'.....'you're be home in 90 days', 'saving Russia from the Nazis', and 'you will all come home with medals and be remembered for your bravely' speech.
A guy stood out of the line, and walked up to the officer....saying "nobody goes anywhere here" and shot the guy a couple of times. Guy might be just badly wounded....no one is saying much so far.
What happened to the reservists in the room after the shooting? No one says much. If it were me.....I would have stepped outside....smoked at least half a pack, and downed a half-bottle of booze. It'd be a bad way to start off a morning as a forced reservist in the war.
The officer wounded or dead? Probably gets a hero-medal and a pension if still alive.
Odds of firearms in the general public? There was a fair amount of gun control 'laws' put into effect in the Soviet Union days, and in the past decade.....even more regulations added. Police would likely say there's as much control as you can exert on the public....without daily frisks to occur.
If you went to the mafia folks around Russia? They'd mostly grin and respond that if you need a gun, you'd pay in cash and have the gun.
This story getting out in social media and worrying both the recruitment folks and the police? More than likely.
