             Barayev then quieted the hall down, and said that the next day, on October 26th, that they would finally begin negotiations with General Kazantsev, who had been authorized by the government to do so. Talks were to begin at 10 or 11 in the morning. Barayev said that everyone could relax until then, because there would be no assault until negotiations began, but their further actions would depend on the results of the talks with Kazantsev. Relaxed people then began to settle themselves in to sleep.

            The last time I looked at my watch, it was 3:20 A. M. One of the Chechens said: «It's boring in your Moscow, I'm going to go do some shooting.» He left the hall, and I heard some shots. I thought that I should get some sleep, so that morning would arrive more quickly. Sasha and Sandy were asleep in each other's arms. I fell asleep, and woke up in the intensive care section of the cardiology ward of Hospital No. 7.

            I learned about Sasha's death from the radio on October 27th, 2002. The circumstances of her death, how she had been crushed under a pile of bodies during transport to the hospital, I learned this from the news, and from people who at been present at her identification. I learned of Sandy's death from workers from the American embassy on October 28th, 2002. When I went to the morgue to identify him on the 29th, I learned that he had received no medical assistance whatsoever.

            I am frequently accused of not being objective; they say that I suffer from 'Stockholm syndrome'. I really have no reason to side with the Chechens: they set up the situation that resulted in the death of my entire family. I understand clearly that even in spite of the Chechens' acts my loved ones could have been saved had the authorities not undertaken this senseless, illogical assault, which could protect no one, and could have led the Chechens to blow everyone up. The assault itself was the cause of my loved ones' deaths.
