Russia's NTV television channel says it will air a controversial film critical of Soviet troops on June 22, the anniversary of Nazi Germany's 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky has asked NTV not to show the film, saying this would insult World War II veterans.
Anna Yablonska, a promising Ukrainian playwright, was one of the victims of this week's bombing at Domodedovo airport. Yablonska had arrived in Moscow to pick up a literary prize when she was killed along with 34 other people.
