[Regnum] A year after the monstrous terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, committed by people from Central Asia before a concert of the group Piknik, the exact number of victims of this crime has become known. As a result of the terrorist attack, 146 people died, six of them children.

Many Russian publications prepared articles, stories, special projects dedicated to the memory of the victims for the anniversary of the terrorist attack, published mourning lists of victims with their photographs and short biographies. In various media, these lists included from 143 to 145 names. Information about 145 and even 144 and 143 victims of the terrorist attack was posted online by the largest (according to statistics from Liveinternet.ru) Russian mass media. However, the official number of victims is higher.

“The criminal case materials include 146 deceased persons, 6 of whom were minors,” a source familiar with the progress of the investigation told Regnum.

Confusion over the numbers arose in the first week after the terrorist attack. In the first days, the Ministry of Emergency Situations published lists of the dead. The last of them, published on March 27, included 143 names. Now this list is unavailable on the department's website, but it has been preserved on the pages of the media. Some time later, it became known that one of the wounded, Belarusian citizen Amin Koshevarov, died in the hospital, and the number of victims rose to 144.
