Иосиф Кобзон на церемонии памяти жертв теракта на Дубровке, 26 октября 2011

Speaking before the participants were relatives of the victims, as well as singer-parliament member Joseph Kobzon, who nine years ago participated in the rescue of women and children. Then the children's radio and television choir performed, as well as several well-known Russian musicians. After the commemorations, the abbot of the temple under construction near the theatrical center held a memorial service for the victims of the terrorist attack.

The organizers of the commemoration announced that they have put together a book dedicated to the victims of ‘Nord-Ost’. The book includes short stories about each of the one hundred and thirty who were killed during the capture of theater.

Secrets of the ‘Nord-Ost’ tragedy — 9 years later. We are now talking on this subject with Svetlana Gubareva, a former hostage, Alexander Cherkasov, a member of the board of the ‘Memorial’ human rights organization, and Elena Milashina, a columnist for ‘Novaya Gazeta’. Please tell us about this book that you are holding in your hands and that you showed to participants of today's commemoration.

…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.

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.

Полутемный зал. Тихое шипение газа. Одетая в черное, вооруженная шахидка. А в роли заложников — зрители кельнского театра. Своеобразная машина времени перенесла их в Москву 2002-го года, в Театральный центр на Дубровке.

«Норд-Ост»,— так называется спектакль о трагедии на Дубровке, поставленный в кельнском драматическом театре Theater der Keller и уже номинированный на две немецкие театральные премии. Его зрители не просто становятся сторонними наблюдателями теракта, который произошел в октябре 2002 года, и всего того, что произошло потом. Они переживают происходящее, сами становятся заложниками.
