http://rt.com/news/chechnya-suspect-boston-bombing-110/ includes details from a VKontakte page.

Mind you, all of this is unconfirmed. Nonetheless, Russian media are already on the case.

This is pretty consistent with what WBUR in Boston is reporting.

Man, I'd think that kid was a total fucker even if he _wasn't_ a suspected bomber now.

I find it interesting that the US media is calling the older brother's death a "shoot out" and the Russian media is calling it a "stand off"

The former seems a little more accurate, since there was no standing-off-ing, but still it's curious.
