Galina Ryabkova, who is seen on surveillance video shortly after the incident, appeared emotionless after going to look at the remains of her sons, ages 4 and 7, according to RT news.
The video - posted by the tabloid LifeNews.ru - begins with one of the children landing just out of frame at the bottom of a short flight of steps outside the building. A man is then seen coming out to discover the gory scene.
Ryabkova also comes downstairs, the video shows. Wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, she sits in the lobby as neighbors attempt to keep the bony blonde from walking away.
“My wife woke me up and said that there were children falling out," a neighbor told Life News, according to the RT. "We ran out and saw two children lying on the ground in front of the main door. Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, ‘Yes, I threw them away.’â€

Russian media suggested the reason for the murder was probably that the woman, who has been detained, had suspected her husband of cheating on her.
The family lived in a two-room apartment on the eighth floor. Ryabkova got to the 15th floor and threw her younger son, then her elder son from a balcony, according to investigators.
A source said the woman’s husband was away on business.
Markin said Ryabkova had earlier tried to commit suicide. She will be made to undergo a psychiatric examination.
“The family moved to Moscow from Volgograd a few years ago and had generally positive characteristics. However, the suspect planned to divorce her husband soon,†he said.
“She had made a suicide attempt before her wedding,†Markin said.

Ryabkova will undergo a psychiatric examination and could face up to life in prison on murder charges.
