(In relation
to terrorist acts in Beslan, Russia) –
“It’s a horror and people want answers,”
said Eugene Levin, host of a Russian-language radio talk show
in Los Angeles that has been devoting 6 hours a day to the
carnage in the southern Russian town of Beslan. Callers have
flooded the station with questions, most of them beginning
with “Why?”
“It’s not new for our audience that such an event
took place. But it’s the scale of the event and the
fact that children were involved,” said Levin, who also
publishes two weekly Russian-language newspapers, Panorama
and Friday-Express, both of which saw their circulation spike
after the tragedy. Callers and readers are also grasping at
how to help relatives back in Russia. “They want to
know what they can do,” said Levin, whose subscribers
receive weekend editions of the Times in a partnership established
in 2003.
