Suicide from Blagoveschensk tells all on the Internet

On 27 September in Blagoveschensk in the Amur Region two girls, aged 14 and 16, jumped from a 12th-floor balcony. The investigation is looking at all options including the possibility that the girls could have been members of a sect. The press is dotted with an even greater number of suggestions. Some sources quote statistics that place the blame with the geography: in the Priamuriye region there are 60 cases of suicide for every 100,000 of the population, a third higher than in Russia as a whole. Another publication accuses the popular rock band Agatha Christie and also quotes the words of anonymous psychologists that suicide could be linked with "an early start to a sex life". The news repeats the statement than "even that morning no one could predict the pending catastrophe". Meantime, though, the state of one of the suicides is well reflected in her weblog, which contains not a single positive record and where all entries are devoted to loneliness: "Is it worth living if you’ve already been as if dead two years?" The last entry from 20 September comes under the heading "Help?!"
