MOSCOW (RIA Novosti) - A member of the Moscow Virtuosi chamber orchestra, Denis Shulgin, was hospitalized with a fractured skull and brain concussion after an attack in the Russian capital on Monday. Attackers stole his valuable violin.
In a separate incident on Sunday, his colleague Georgy Tsai, an ethnic Korean, was stabbed in the stomach and suffered numerous hand injuries. His bag was stolen during the attack, which occurred near his home.
