 On January 21st at the Omsk State Drama ‘Fifth Theatre’ there will be a premiere of ‘Nord-Ost’, as interpreted by contemporary German playwright T. Buchsteiner.
In October of 2010, ‘Nord-Ost’ was performed as a sketch at the Laboratory of Modern Drama and Direction. At the time this work by Yevgeniy Fomintsev, an actor at Omsk’s ‘Fifth Theater’ aroused so much interest in visiting critics that they proposed including it in the theater’s repertoire. “The director has managed to achieve a rare combination. A setting that appeals to the general public, while at the same time demonstrating interest in the destinies of specific characters,” noted Moscow drama critic Olga Galakhova.

 Е. Матюхина: «Не помню свою жизнь до «Норд-Оста» Kamchatka learned about her in October of 2002. Chechen terrorists captured Yekaterina and her mother-in-law, Anna Tunik, when they had gone to see the musical 'Nord-Ost' at Moscow’s Dubrovka theatrical center. During the rescue operation, both the terrorists and their prisoners were put to sleep by gas dropped through the air vents. After this, commandos began to destroy the bandits, while doctors worked to save the hostages. But they were not able to save them all. According to official figures, 129 hostages were killed, the vast majority never regaining consciousness after the gas attack. Comments (1) | Views: 5839 | E-mail |

 NEW YORK – More than 10,000 workers exposed to the tons of toxic dust that blanketed ground zero after the World Trade Center fell have ended their bruising legal fight with New York City and joined a settlement worth at least $625 million, officials said Friday.
The deal will resolve an overwhelming majority of the lawsuits over the city's failure to provide protective equipment to the army of construction workers, police officers and firefighters who spent months clearing and sifting rubble after Sept. 11. Among the thousands who sued, claiming that soot at the site got into their lungs and made them sick, more than 95 percent eligible for the settlement agreed to take the offer. Only 520 said no or failed to respond. Comments (1) | Views: 3676 | E-mail |

 Can the Russian government to protect the rights of the Dubrovka terror attack victims?We are talking about this with Nord-Ost hostage Svetlana Gubareva, father of two Nord-Ost hostages Dmitry Milovidov, their attorney Karinna Moskalenko, and Vympel special operations veteran Anatoly Yermolin.
Vladimir Kara-Murza on the rights of victims of terrorist attacks on Dubrovka
Vladimir Kara-Murza: In Moscow today they remembered victims of the terrorist attack at Dubrovka. About 500 people participated in a commemoration. After a minute of silence, all the victims were identified by name. On October 22nd (ed note: October 23rd), 2002, during a performance of the musical Nord-Ost, terrorists took 912 hostages and held them for three days. On the morning of the 26th the authorities launched a special operation during which they used an unknown gas. As a result all the terrorists were destroyed, and 130 hostages, including 10 children, died. Those who survived the raid still demand the names of those responsible for the operation, since many died after rescue in not receiving timely medical assistance. Many survivors of Nord-Ost have chronic illnesses, lost vision and hearing, and yet have not been designated victims of a terrorist attack. Orphaned children receive survivor benefits of about three thousand rubles (about $120 a month). The Korallovo School, founded by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is the only high school that gives free tuition to child victims of Nord-Ost and other attacks. The European Court of Human Rights is expected by the end of the year to make a decision on the complaint of 80 victims of the terrorist attack at Dubrovka. About whether the Russian state can protect the rights of victims of terrorist attacks at Dubrovka, today we are talking with Svetlana Gubareva, a former Nord-Ost, Dmitry Milovidov, the father of two hostages, attorney Karinna Moskalenko, and Anatoly Yermolin, a veteran of the Vympel special operations group. At what stage is the European Court of Human Rights in its consideration of the Dubrovka terror attack complaint?

The effect of «harmless gas»: 8 years later people live on drugs, have become blind, deaf, insane, and given birth to disabled children
Today is the eighth anniversary of the tragedy that is abbreviated as 'Nord-Ost'.
On October 23rd, 2002, gunmen seized the Dubrovka theater complex in Moscow. 912 people became hostages. On October 26th, at 5.30 am, a secret gas was introduced into the theater building. As a result the terrorists were eliminated and 130 hostages were killed.
Years passed.
The Russian people turned another sad page of our history, and happily forgot the tragedy. So it is with human memory — all details, even important events, gradually disappear.
Today the former hostages who were disabled, mothers who lost their children, children who were in an instant deprived of parents, all were left alone with his grief. To this day they try to uncover the truth, which, in their opinion, the state buried along with the victims of Nord-Ost.
In their search for truth, survivors of the attack came to the Strasbourg Court.
