    An anti-tank mine, even an old mine, is unlikely to just explode. The leadership of the Academy, probably just like almost all of our leaders, were modest, most likely and hired workers from Central Asia to serve as servants, and this is the result. Our leadership does not like to "bother" dear Russians with work. We are too dear to them. And the enemy does not sleep. Now Baumanka, then the Academy. WHO IS NEXT? Well, our oligarchs will bring in as many terrorists as they like under the plausible pretext of a shortage of workers. Who checked them at the entrance?
