 Franz Zede is a quiet, thoughtful man who does not like to talk too much, but after recent events, the Austrian Ambassador to Russia was foaming at the mouth. A Russian news agency had assigned to him such a shameless lie that its cynicism knows no equal.
The death of a hostage, an Austrian citizen who died during the assault of the Chechen-captured Moscow theatrical center, was caused by inflammation of the lungs due to the use of gas. Zede said this, according to the news agency. “There’s not a single word of truth here,” the diplomat understandably raged.

 In a minefield… were not only were our colleagues Anna and Zhanna, but all of us.
Fear has a property of subsiding over time, of departing from us day by day. Now we are once again smiling and watching comedies, and buying tickets to shows.

Only in a few CIS countries does the view differ from the official The CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) remains the ‘near abroad’, and its traditions and rules of political correctness have not really changed much over the last decade. This was confirmed by an analysis of the Commonwealth press over the past few days. Most publications evaluated what happened in Moscow using the words of their presidents, and did not go beyond the semi-official line: the operation was a success, Vladimir Putin is a hero, and we are all against terrorism. This media reaction means that Russia’s close friends are trying to distance themselves by not getting into the details, and assuming that the problem of Chechen terrorism is none of their concern.

 Discharged hostages re-hospitalized
They had not managed to resuscitate every hostage and identifying every dead victim of the terrorist attack, when Moscow hospitals began to receive new patients from among the ‘Nord-Ost’ spectators. These people had already passed through every level of Hell, and were seemingly recovered and sent home, when, only a day later, they were once again forced to head back to the health facilities.

“YOU SAT FOR THREE DAYS, WHILE I SAT FOR THREE MONTHS — AND NO BIGGIE”  Yesterday Pavel Borodin came to the Filatov Children’s Hospital, where there are five children who were rescued from the theater on Dubrovka. He brought huge bouquets of flowers for the small hostages, and, as moral support, shared with them his rich life experiences. “You sat for three days, while I sat for three months — and no biggie,” said ‘Pal Palych’ (Pavel Pavlovich Borodin) to the kids.
“Whom are we waiting for?” a doctor asks colleagues that are huddling on the porch of the admissions department.
