Russiske embedsmænd har med vrede angrebet Charlie Hebdo for det satiriske blads tegninger om nedstyrtningen af militærflyet Tu-154 som har provokeret afsky i Moskva.

68 medlemmer af Alexandrov musik og danse ensemblet døde da flyet styrtede ned i det Sorte Hav Juledag.

Der var i alt 92 passagerer og flypersonale som døde ved tragedien.

Billederne i det franske satiriske blad viser et kormedlem fra ensemblet givende en pibende lyd "aaaaaa."

Boblen siger: "Repertoire af hærens kor udvides."

Another cartoon in the magazine implies it is "bad news" that Russian president Vladimir Putin was not on board as the aircraft crashes into the Black Sea.

A third image shows bodies sinking in the sea with the caption: 'The Red Army conquers a new public."

The Russian Defence Ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov condemned the cartoons.

He said: "It is degrading for any human being to even pay attention to such a poorly-created abomination.

"If such, dare I say, 'artistry' is the real manifestation of 'Western values', then those who hold and support them are doomed - at least to loneliness in the future."

He claimed Russians who had worn 'Je suis Charlie' have now gone quiet.

The leader of Chechnya, a strongly pro-Putin politician, Ramzan Kadyrov joined the criticism.

"I have said it before and will say it once again now - that the editorial policy of the magazine is immoral and inhuman.

"It has nothing to do with freedom of speech - neither directly nor indirectly."

The tragedy was "taken as personal grief by millions of Russians and our friends across the world," he said.

Yet the magazine "mocks our national tragedy".

This is not the first time that Charlie Hebdo has angered Moscow with controversial caricatures connected with Russia.

In November 2015, the magazine published cartoons on the Russian Kogalymavia's A321 plane crash in Egypt that killed 224 people, the country's worst-ever aviation disaster.

The French Foreign Ministry has told Russian critics that the country's leadership has nothing to do with the activities of the magazine and that the employees of the weekly are free to express their own opinions.
