As emergency services combed the scene of the attack on a concert hall in Moscow, details on some of the victims began to emerge from officials and local news media.
Alexander Baklemyshev, 51, had long dreamed about seeing the band, his son told local media, and had traveled solo from his home city of Satka, some 1,000 miles east of Moscow, for the concert.
His son, Maksim, told the Russian news outlet MSK1 that his father had sent him a video of the concert hall before the attack.
“All that was left is the video, and nothing more.”Irina Okisheva and her husband, Pavel Okishev, also traveled hundreds of miles to attend the concert — making their way from Kirov, northeast of Moscow.
“Very painful and scary,” Ms. Okisheva’s colleagues wrote on a social media page for a photo studio where she worked.
