 In Dagestan the premiere of ‘In Your Hands’ was held. It is based on real events – the taking of hostages during ‘Nord-Ost’. For a long time, author Natalya Pelevayn had unsuccessfully tried to interest Russian theaters, primarily in Moscow, in her play. According to her, “there were people who were afraid that after this the state would no longer give money to the theater, or that somehow it would affect them personally, but someone came out and said, you know, Natalie, on reflection, I want to say honestly that people just won't come see it.” Only the principal director of the Russian Drama Theatre in Makhachkala, Skanderbek Tulparov, decided to host it. The audience gave it a standing ovation. Representatives of the government, however, did not just make a big show out of storming out of the auditorium — the next day the show was pulled from the stage on orders of the leadership of Dagestan, even though two more premieres were planned and tickets to these had been already been sold.

 In his first month as president, Dmitry Medvedev has already received several open letters in the press, in which the authors ask the head of state to reconsider certain judicial decisions or resume the investigations of sensational cases.
Last week human rights advocates sent a letter to the Kremlin, asking for the pardon of 15 Russian citizens, including one of the former owners of Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, as well as some scientists who had been locked up on charges of espionage.
The authors of the letter write that, without the release of political prisoners, the state cannot be considered democratic and, therefore, the moral right of Russia to consider its participation in the 'Big Eight' would depend on further actions from Medvedev.

 Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is certain the right decisions were made during the terrorist attacks in Beslan and at 'Nord-Ost'. In Chechnya the government has also made the right decisions. This was said during an interview with French newspaper ‘Monde’, as reported by ‘RIA Novosti’.
“I am confident that if we had tried to solve them differently, than they would still be going on,” Putin said. “One might have expected a more efficient operation on the part of our special forces,” he said. “But it is quite clear that we needed to prevent these attempts at destabilizing the nation. It is quite clear that, in every country in the world, as soon as they make concessions to terrorists, they ultimately suffer greater losses than would have arisen during the conduct of special operations.”

Dear President Medvedev,  In three coordinated bombings of apartment buildings in Moscow and Volgodonsk in September 1999, 292 people were murdered, including our mother Lyubov Morozova. We are writing this open letter to call on you, Dmitry Anatolyevich, to order an independent, open and full investigation of these attacks.
Although these crimes were blamed on Chechen terrorists and used to justify the resumption of a full-scale war against Chechnya later that month, there are numerous indications that Russian security services may have been involved. There is also clear evidence of a cover-up by the authorities. We do not consider this case solved. Let us remind you of some of the facts:
