 Today is already the 9th anniversary of the terrorist attack in Volgodonsk, the least known and, I think, the most destructive terrorist attack in Russian history.
In ancient times there was a terrible disease — leprosy. Those who fell ill with it became social outcasts. In Russia today, «lepers» are those who have suffered from terrorist attacks in various parts of our vast country.
As a matter of fact, no one knows just how many victims of terrorist attacks there are in Russia, and the figure, I think, is very large. There were terrorist attacks in Budyonnovsk, Volgodonsk, Moscow, Beslan, Kaspiisk, Pyatigorsk, Minvody, and many other cities.

 On March 5th, 2002, the movie «The Assassination of Russia», shot by French journalists, was shown in London. The 'Liberal Russia' movement intended to air the film, which was about the 1999 bombings of apartment buildings in Moscow and Volgodonsk. Actively participating in this was Sergey Yushenkov, a member of the Russian parliament. The main purpose of the action, the MP emphasized, was «to find out the truth, to attain an objective investigation of what happened in Moscow and Volgodonsk and was being prepared for Ryazan.»
«We can provide any Russian law enforcement authority in Russia with the facts and documents connected with the case. We are ready to give these documents to every Member of Parliament, and during public hearings and a public inquiry we will once again raise the question of the role of the secret services in Russia, and their lack of control,» said Sergei Yushenkov. None of the official television channels has shown the entire film. I am offering my readers a transcript of the film, which was published on the website «September terror».
