20 years ago, on September 1, 2004 happened the terrorist attack in Beslan, North Ossetia.
The group of terrorists during a ceremonial assembly dedicated to the beginning of the year in the school N.1 took more than 1,100 people hostage.
Terrorists were Islamic fundametalists and chechen separatists. The terrorist leader shamil basayev on Septemebr 17 claimed that in the operation “Nord-Ost” in Beslan” have participated: “12 chechens, 2 chechen women, 9 ingush, 3 russians, 2 arabs, 2 ossetians, one tatar, one kabardian, one guran”
For two and a half days, the terrorists held hostages - mostly children, their parents, and school staff, in the mined building in extremely difficult conditions, denying people even the satisfaction of their basic natural needs.
“ The hostages were ordered to speak only Russian, and any deviation from the order was brutally suppressed. A father of two, Ruslan Betrozov, attempted to calm the frightened hostages in Ossetian and was shot dead in public for the sake of intimidation. Another hostage, Vadim Bolloyev, was seriously wounded by a gunshot for refusing to kneel, and later died. When the hostages began to cry or make noise, the terrorists fired at the ceiling or pulled a hostage out of the crowd, regardless of age or gender, threatening to shoot them. Such acts of intimidation were used throughout the hostage taking, along with mockery and insults.
…..
….the militants, who had initially brought buckets of water to the gym and allowed the hostages to go to the toilet, refused both, forcing the hostages to drink their own urine. The hot weather, stench, and lack of ventilation in the gym further worsened the hostages' condition: many lost consciousness. When asked for water, the terrorists replied that it was poisoned. Only a few managed to get to the toilet or shower. Upon learning that some of his subordinates were making concessions to the hostages, Khuchbarov ordered the taps to be broken and threatened to kill anyone who gave the hostages water. According to the hostages' recollections, the terrorists looked as if they were waiting for an order from outside, but their plan was thwarted for some reason. Attempts by the operational headquarters to deliver water, food and medicine to the hostages continued until the end of the second day, but the militants invariably rejected all offers”.
On the 3rd day an anti-terrorist operation to free the hostages began. As a result of the assault 27 terrorists were killed, but 334 hostages were also killed, including 186 children, 783 were injured.
The Beslan Mothers Association is of the opinion that the large number of victims among the hostages is a consequence of the erroneous and probably criminal actions of some officials.
putins used the occasion of the Beslan tragedy and the confusion in the Russian society happened after the tragedy, to renforce its regime and removed elections in the regions.
Below there is a documentary by Russian journalist Yuri Dud who met survived victims of beslan tragedy and organized interviews with them.
