If the past is any guide, the pirates will find that the Russians have no patience in these matters; when terrorists in Beirut kidnapped four "diplomats" (read: intelligence agents) and murdered one, the GRU went out and found out who the leader of the group that did the deed was, and found his brother. They sent the brother back to the family-one piece at a time. Hostages promptly released with profound apologies. In this situation, the Russians won't waste much time talking to these creeps, and will teach them the folly of their ways. The survivors will probably be interrogated (harshly) and disposed of (the waters off Somalia are notorious for sharks....).
