…The Book of Memory is but a small fraction of what we have been able to do for the 130 persons who were killed at Dubrovka, October 23–26, 2002. A person lives on in the memories of friends, relatives, colleagues.

We have collected their reminiscences, as well as the stories of sympathetic journalists.

The victims were diverse: from the very young to gray-haired elders; funny, talented, busy, dreaming of a career or finishing one with dignity. They all still live in the pages of this book and in the memories of the survivors. We hope they will live in your memory as well.

This book was published with the assistance of the Office of the Mayor of Moscow.
