Was it ever?

Admittedly I'm not an expert in Russian history, but I feel like there's not been a time in the last several centuries that Russia has had a government that had any regard for Innocent lives, whether other nations or their own people.

Putin was willing bomb russian civilians to boost his early political position. Fsb bombings claimed a lot of lives. Power corrupts.

And that was just an excuse to bomb russian civilians from the air in Chechnya.
