Nord-Ost in court at Strasbourg: Russia needed eight years to abandon the principle of “we do not negotiate with terrorists.”
 On October 23, 2002, the first Russian musical, Nord-Ost, was performed at Dubrovka. More than 900 persons were in the auditorium, and almost all were taken hostage by about 40 Chechen terrorists who carried out unhindered in the center of Moscow one of the largest terrorist attacks in Russian history.
On the night of October 25–26, it was decided to conduct assault on the theater. It is known that the operational headquarters included General Viktor Pronichev, deputy head of the FSB, and Aleksandr Voloshin, chief of presidential administration. The command went out to storm the theater using special operational units of the FSB, under the command of another FSB deputy chief, General Aleksandr Tikhonov.  Comments (3) | Views: 8821 | E-mail

 At Chistye Prudy in Moscow a rally dedicated to the 11th anniversary of the FSB's ‘Ryazan exercise’ was held, titled ‘A Day of Distrust’. According to a reporter from 'Grany', about a hundred people attended. The protesters held dozens of posters with slogans such as: ‘Do not believe the state version of the bombings’, ‘Ryazan — we don't believe’, ‘Beslan — we don't believe’, ‘FSB is hiding the truth — slain Anna Politkovskaya, Yuri Shchekochikhin, Sergei Yushenkov, and Alexander Litvinenko were seeking the truth’.
Attending the rally were representatives from the Solidarity movement, antiwar organizations, human rights activists, as well as ordinary Muscovites. People remembered the tragic events of apartment bombings in Volgodonsk, Moscow, and Buinaksk in September of 1999. According to the participants, the exercises that were conducted by the secret service in Ryazan forces them to doubt that Chechen rebels blew up apartment buildings in other cities.

The Russian parliament has banned criticism of the fight against terrorism, equating it to the state secrets acts of 10 years ago. The law would deny information about the Chechen war, Nord-Ost, and Beslan.  The Russian parliament approved the first reading of a government bill equating information on combating terrorism with state secrets. The only opposing Members of Parliament came from the Fair Russia party, though it did cause confusion even among the sympathetic United Russia party. The law proposes that information on the security of ‘critical facilities’ would be a state secret, but there are no criteria determining which objects are considered ‘serious’ — the parliament building, kindergartens, or market stalls. Opponents of the law state that it would prohibit journalists from investigating terror attacks, and even prohibit analysis and criticism of the security services. If such a law had been passed earlier, then details on the disastrous mistakes of the Chechen wars, Nord-Ost, Beslan, and other tragedies, might have remained unknown.Be first to comment this article | Views: 4166 | E-mail |

 On the day before the 11th anniversary of the Volgodonsk bombing, we learned that our project, whose goal is social rehabilitation of the victims of the Volgodonsk suicide attack, was — once again — not among the winners of a presidential grant.
The trusteeship of the grants, assigned to the Public Chamber of Russia's «National Welfare Fund», has for the fourth time demonstrated that assisting victims of a terrorist attack is not Russia's priority.
