October 26th, 2007. The same five degrees Celsius, the same traffic jams, the same voices on the radio who ask exactly the same thing as they did five, four, three, two, and one year ago today: Why did the rescued people die? Why, when they were still alive when they were loaded into buses and ambulances, were they dead on arrival at the hospitals? Why was the antidote not brought to the Botkin clinic until eight hours after the assault? Why did the emergency ministries rescuers know nothing about how to rescue gassed people? What was the gas?
Since morning, on the steps of the theatrical center hundreds of candles have been burning, and people carry flowers and toys. You do not have to go anywhere, remembering the same picture from last year and previous years. There are same faces of the 'Nor'easters', on which sorrow has merged with resentment.

 The tragedy and crime of 'Nord-Ost', judging from the rather delusional comments in the semiofficial media, is a sort of Victory Day. It has not yet been five years, but the 10, 15, and 20-year celebrations will pass. Every 5 years the television will squeal about how we defeated the terrorists and destroyed them all, posthumously treating their commander to a bottle of cognac, and shooting one young hostage who made it outside because he had dark hair. Illiterate anthropologists from 'Alpha', 'Beta' and 'Gamma', whose Greek letters could fit perfectly in the three Russian letters of KGB, visually determined that, since he did not look like a pure Slav, he was a Chechen terrorist. He turned out to be a pure Russian, a Siberian, and those who gassed the young man and ordered him finished off, after learning of their error, they did not shoot themselves.

Radio station ‘Echo of Moscow’
Presenter: Natella Boltyanskaya
Guests: Gennady Gudkov, Anna Andrianova, and Oksana Barkovskaya
N. BOLTYANSKAYA: It's 8:11 pm and are you listening to ‘Echo of Moscow’. A couple times a week, ‘Echo of Moscow’ looks for a way out, but I must say that it’s on Wednesday night that ‘Echo of Moscow’ tells the truth on the air with its program, ‘No Way Out’, and tonight’s broadcast is dedicated to ‘Nord-Ost’ — five years after the tragedy. Visiting with us today are former hostage Anna Andrianova, Oksana Barkovskaya, the author of the film ‘Nord-Ost row 11, or a diary from the other world’, and Gennady Gudkov, a member of the parliament security council as well as a reserve colonel in the FSB. Five years have passed. Some conclusions have probably been reached, both positive and negative. What, in your opinion, is the most important thing to say today?
G. GUDKOV: Like a gentleman, I will let the ladies go first. Let them begin.
O. BARKOVSKAYA: It depends on what conclusions were reached. Are we less afraid, after ‘Nord-Ost’, to go to the theater, or the cinema, or to public places? No, we aren’t less fearful. Did the authorities respond to the questions that the hostages tried to ask? No, they didn’t get any answers, or at least, not truthful ones. Nothing has changed in those five years. The pain has not left. Trust me, I associate with those who lost their loved ones, and the pain is not gone. In fact, it has increased. Be first to comment this article | Views: 6739 | E-mail |
