The Saviour (Russian:Спас,romanized: Spas, also translated asSalvation orThe Redeemer) was a militantnationalist organization which claimed credit for the August2006 Moscow market bombing. Media reports indicate that the market, located nearCherkizovsky, was targeted due to its high volume ofCentral Asian andCaucasian clientele.[1][2]
Four members of The Saviour were sentenced to life imprisonment, while four others received lesser prison terms.[citation needed]
