 The government marked the anniversary of the seizure of hostages as a victory, but tried not to ignore the day of the assault that freed them. This looks a bit strange, as if Russia was celebrating (the start of WW II) on June 22nd, but was silent about May 9th (Victory Day). On October 23rd, the Moscow city boss and his entourage dedicated an obelisk some distance from the scene of the tragedy. They held their own event, pointedly turning their backs on the former hostages and relatives of the slain. On this same day they were dedicating a plaque bearing the names of the victims, which was installed on a wall of the already former theatrical center. The official event was so ostentatious, that while returning to their cars, the mayor and his retinue turned away and tried very hard not to notice the people, flowers, or candles in front of the other memorial. They succeeded in this, and in full accordance with their ceremony, during the dedication of the obelisk, Joseph Kobzon sang: “there is nothing to cry about, long live the mayor, the president, and the courageous commandos.”  Be first to comment this article | Views: 5289 | E-mail

 A year ago, after the terrorist attack at Dubrovka, the name of Lieutenant Colonel Konstantin Ivanovich Vasilev, of the Russian Ministry of Justice, was made known to all residents of the city of Sarov. His blue eyes looked at us from the pages of the city newspapers, and he looked into the heart of everyone. We, in turn, gazed into his eyes, in pity, trying to understand, and to remember. Why was he at the theater that night? He was not among the spectators, nor with the soldiers who freed the hostages. Back then, on the very first night of the hostage crisis, not in response to a command, but in listening to the voice of his own conscience, Konstantin Vasilev went there to offer himself, a Russian officer, in place of the children. He was shot, and his corpse was cruelly mocked by the Chechens before being tossed into a basement.Be first to comment this article | Views: 10241 | E-mail |

 In an interview with ‘Rossiyskaya Gazeta’, Moscow Prosecutor Mikhail Avdyukov shared information obtained during the investigation into last fall’s hostage crisis at Dubrovka. According to Avdyukov, one of the suspected Chechen militants on trial in a different case, during questioning said that Shamil Basayev had been planning a large-scale attack, presumably the capture of the Duma (the lower house of the federal parliament).

Declaration of the Russian NGO human rights observers at the 79th session of the UN Human Rights Committee: «About the Russian Federation's upholding the right to life during the course of the special operation in the theatrical center on Dubrovka.»
On October 23-24th, 2003, during the course of the UN Human Rights Committee's examination of the Russian Federation's 5th periodic report on its fulfillment of the International Treaty on Civil and Political Rights, the Russian delegation presented its view on the (human rights) situation (in Russia) for the last 8 years. We are do not agree with the official report, and this is natural. Our estimate of this situation is expressed in our Alternative Report, which we have presented to the Committee.
However, the Russian delegation's position with regards to the events in the theatrical center on Dubrovka, which was paraphrased by FSB representative Viktor Milchenko, are so unacceptable that we consider it necessary to speak out on this question.
