Not really, Grom. The whole operation would require two guys, two or three 15Kg bombs, two or three cell phones, and a pair of binoculars. Put the first bomb directly under the rails on one side, set it off when the train was halfway or two-thirds by the bomb. Rush in, lay the second (and third, if there is one) bomb, pull back and lay low. Wait until the rescue people are thoroughly engaged, set off the second bomb. Pull out of the area, work your way around to either the north or south of the derailment site, and detonate the third bomb (if there is one). It takes planning and intelligence, but not a lot of people. It's also VERY hard to detect or protect against, especially in Russia, where there are miles and miles between settlements in most parts. Consider: Russia is twice the size of the US and Canada combined, with a population of around 250 Million (US, 310m, Canada 140m< total 450 million - almost twice as many). No matter how big a police/military/paramilitary force the Russians have, it's spread VERY thinly.
