"I thought a little more and let us go": Host "Nord-Ost"

1 5 years ago, on October 23, 2002, a group of armed Chechen separatists capturedmore800 hostages in the theateralny Centeron Dubrovka during the Music of Nord-Ost. The militants demanded immediately withdraw the federal troops from Chechnya, threatening otherwise killing hostages.

Three days of unsuccessful negotiations, the Russian authorities gave an order about the theater assault. Previously in the hall where the hostages were, the smaller gas was injected through the ventilation pipes, the exact composition of which is unknown so far. The special operation was declared successful, the special services reported on the murder of 50 militants.

However, as a result of gas poisoning, a bad organization of the export of people in hospitals and inefficient and late measures to provide assistance to 130 hostages were killed.

A citizen of Kazakhstan Svetlana Gubareva was among the hostages, she remained alive, but lost her 13-year-old daughter and the American groom, with whom she was going to build a new life.

In an interview with the BBC program of Witness, she remembered the events of those days.

Svetlana Gubareva: In October 2002, I arrived with my daughter from Karaganda to Moscow, and my fiance Sandy Alan Booker, a US citizen, came to Moscow, because we were invited to an interview to obtain a visa of the bride. And after the interview was held - and it passed wonderful: in the embassy they saw the groom, they realized that serious intentions, and immediately we got approval - in this joyful state went, we went in Moscow and, passing by the Metro station Mayakovskaya, saw a stall, in which sold tickets for various events, including the Musical "Nord-Ost". He then was very actively advertised. The story of the "two captains" of Cavery. And such a thought was scratched: when it is still going to Moscow, that's all together, why not see, especially such an advertisement. And the mood is wonderful, I wanted to continue. And we bought tickets for October 23.

I doubted a long time - I was the initiator, as always, because there were no three tickets nearby, there were two and one. Persuaded the cashier. Says: "Well, there will somehow ask, reproach, you will sit nearby." On the 23rd in the evening, we went to the Musical Threesome: I, Sasha and Sandy.

We watched the first branch of the musical. I can not say that I really liked the musical, the only thing, perhaps the most vivid impression remained from the song of the nightlife, which was completed the first branch, but the plane sits down in the musical on the stage, I wanted to see how they staged this show. Therefore, we stayed on the second branch.

The second branch began with the songs of the pilots, after this song we heard some kind of noise, saw how a man in camouflage clothing rose to the stage and to attract attention, shot from the machine. I looked around, I saw that a crowd was going on a passage, dressed in a military uniform. Ahead - men, a group of women. And these women stopped, separated from the group and stopped along the walls. I looked to the right - the same story.

The first thought was - how cool was fit in the plot of Chechen syndrome. The idea that this is a real capture in the center of Moscow, not at all occurred. And even when it became clear, I still could not accept. The man who rose to the stage, announced that this was capture. What they came to stop the war in Chechnya (this is exactly the time when the second Chechen war went) and that their only requirement is to stop the war.

The reaction was very different in humans. Someone fell into hysterics, someone on the contrary fired himself, someone calmly perceived. Those who are very nervous, Chechens from their big bags got Valerian to calm down. I counted 19 women in the parter, how much was on the balcony, I did not see, but when you came to the scene, I saw four women on the balcony in the corners.

Men it was impossible to calculate, because they constantly moved. Women were first standing, then sat, they brought chairs. And they practically did not go from their places, even if they were asked about something, they were transferred along the chain. They sat at a distance of a little more elongated hand. So they heard well each other. They led themselves too differently, someone was friendly in relation to us, someone was aggressive.

I remembered the boy, in my understanding a boy, he was no more than 15 years old, for which it was generally like a game, he took such a delight. I must say that Barayev, the head of [invaders], he was also in such an euphoric mood. Because imagine: the group [militants] came to the center of Moscow, the Metro Proletarskaya is the center of Moscow. And captured the theater, a thousand people, that's so easy and simple.

It seems to me that they did not even think about what they do next to us. Maybe they were not sure that they would succeed. They did not think that we would like to eat, drink, sleep, go to the toilet. They didn't even occur to them this thought, and as problems arise, they tried to solve them somehow. I remember when I calmed down a little, this boy with a packaging of Coca-Cola handed them to drink water. And Sasha asked also to drink. I tell him: "Give a bottle," he says: "This is just our". I say: "What is I here, at my own desire I sit or what? My child wants to drink." He looked at me, but she gave all the same water.

Then, a little later - I am now a sequence after 15 years I remember - they defeated the buffet, and all that was there - sweets, drinks - such heaps around the hall and kneaded the scene. And if we wanted to drink, I asked permission, I was told: "Yes, you can", I took the packaging and brought, left my drink and distributed around the rows. After some time, drinks ended, and people continued to experience thirst. Then they found buckets, plastic cups, and from the toilet brought water into buckets. And here in these plastic cups passed water to those who want to drink. Behind the water they went for themselves, because the hall was shot.

What happened outside, we did not know, could only assume. I then heard from the former hostages that some had small TVs, but next to us was a Chechen, which had a radio. And she was like the radio stalled radio stations, he listened to say. I was struck by the cynicism of one of the radio stations, which passed the song DDT "Last Autumn", and before turning on this song, they sounded such words: "This song sounds especially for hostages." For some, it really turned out so.

The Chechens themselves were and in relation to us different, and their mood changed depending on what they heard on the radio. When they said that the blood was poured by the river, the corpses in the aisles lie, they, of course, the beast. Barayev did not even stand and said somehow: "Here you hear how they lie about you? Where are the killed?" At that time, not a single person did not really killed. "That's how they lie about you, so they lie about Chechnya." And we, of course, worried about this lie, because the mood of terrorists depended on this lie, and our life depended on their mood.

BBC: When you noticed thatmilitantsbroke into the hall, did you immediately be frightened?

S.G.: That this is really grip, I understood after the announcement of Baraev. And for a very long time I did not want to believe that this is true that it is so. Sandy responded faster, he immediately realized that it was very serious and very dangerous, and Sasha, a child was 13 years old, she had such a reaction, as if she had been in the cinema, she did not have such a fear of frank, and the question was:

- And now everyone will know about me?

- Sash, now he learns the whole world about you.

- And schoolchildren, my classmates?

- And schoolchildren, too, classmates.

Of course, the people had panic, and hysteria. They tried to manage the hall, calm the hall. There were no such facts of aggression in the first hours, before the arrival of Olga Romanova, in the hall, in the parter, was not. When the hall calmed down a little, Baraev went on the aisle just not far from us, someone had reported to someone that they were captured by hostages, and there were such words: "Such a horror, there are so many children and women here."

Then he passed, we sat in 15 or 17 row, and he sat down after two rows. There was an empty place, and the people who were sitting around, began to ask him: "Why did you capture us? Why, what are we to blame?" He says: "Well, you do nothing to stop the war in Chechnya, you do not go to the demonstrations." A woman asks: "And why then you are not deputies [captured]? We are simple people. Why not deputies?" He says: "They guard themselves too well." This conversation was, calm enough.

I remember that a girl was sitting behind me, schoolgirl, class 9-10, probably. And she said: "If I were now sitting at home with a TV, I would look, said" what a nightmare "and went to sleep." That is, the different way was completely attitude in people. And they just tried to keep the hall from some bursts of large emotions, so as not to apply weapons.

The first application of the weapon was when Olga Romanova came. This is a girl who lived in a nearby house, and in this house culture went to the circles, as was customary, and knew him as his home. As she was able to go through the fencing lines of the authorities, well, let's say strength structures, I still do not understand one simple reason. In the hall, together with his classmates there was a girl Dasha Frolova, she was also 13 years old. And when her grandfather found out that the granddaughter got hostage, he tried to get into the hall to exchange herself at Dasha. He passed the first line, and on his second Zagraban and sent to the CPZ. The daughter then delivered him from there. Therefore, I am completely incomprehensible, as Olya passed.

Olga behaved very aggressively. She talked to Barayev as an educator with the Nashkin wards, that is, very sharply and aggressively. And the conversation was that he let go of the hostage, he asked her some questions, I don't remember it now, only a manner of talking him and her. We were clearly visible, since we sat on the same row, only we sat at the end of a row, and they are in the first places. And at some point of the conversation, someone from the men shouted Baraev from above: "Yes, what you listen to her, she is a provocateur, shoot it." Baraev says: "Yes, yes, this is a provocateur, we had such." And pushed it out.

The people were frightened. Were experienced timid objections: "Yes, no need, do not". But her side door pushed out, and I saw, as one of the terrorists with an automatic queue ... That is, I understand that he killed her. I heard the automatic line, felt the smell of gunpowder ... later, when we were already transplanted, and we were next to this door, when the terrorists opened the door, I saw her corpse. That is, I realized that this is a really deceased person.

Many different conversations go. Someone says she was drunk ... She was in a black jacket, I remember it. But for me it is an image of such, you know, light. The man who tried us to save us. One of the first.

In general, terrorists were periodically shot down the ceiling and in these side doors. And when they were going to shoot, they all were forced to go to the floor. When this happened for the first time, they said to lie on the floor, I had a feeling of protest: what I should lie here on the floor, but Sandy pressed me with a silt and explained that it was very dangerous. Why did they do it, I do not know. Later I read that it seems to be a special service for overlappings. Maybe they tried to prevent something there.

I still remember well: it feels that they came with semi-finished products, these belts of Shahids finished on the move. They carried large bags - they were shakhids, they were wrapped in scotch and secured on women. This crash of Scotch for the first day. I then could not hear a long time for a long time [Cracci Crack]. Because the whole day is bursting, cracking, tape cracking. Then they are watched, then they are pregnant to chairs. To the columns they, in my opinion, also adorbed something. Then a man went, distributed the batteries, showed how to attach how to insert. In general, everything was scary.

That is, I can not say that I am so fearless. Of course, scary. Normal, alive man, like everyone, afraid. Periodically, however, Baraev said that they were not fighting with foreigners and foreigners will be released, and this somewhat reassured. And I also remember the first morning namaz they read. Barayev had two assistants. One name was Yaster, I later learned that he was Arab, and the second Abu Bakar. Well, I'm from a Muslim country, for me Namaz is normal. And the bulk of the Russians, for them it is unfamiliar, and they perceived it as a threat of their lives that they would now drink, and then they would shoot them all. And this first namaz. In Yasser was a very beautiful voice, and this melody itself, fascinating some kind of ... it was beautiful. They hung poster, a black poster, and there it was written something in Arabic, I don't know what, but something in the glory of Allah, as I understand.

Right holder illustration Getty Images Image Caption. The building of the theater center was a large number of journalists

In relation to us, their mood changed. They promised to shoot every tenth, then, on the contrary, they said that if the security forces begin the assault, they would close us here in the hall, and would go away to the last cartridge, saving us. Such is all messy, incomprehensible. Of course, it became scary when they shot. I, in general, was never on the shooting range, and these automatic joy in life do not add.

Women who were, they were young girls. Age there was literally three or four people, and the rest ... There were two sisters, one 16, another 18 years, in my opinion. Next to us was a woman of 40-45, she was good friendly. Told his story. That the first Chechen destroyed the house. The husband built a second home, her husband was killed, the son of a 12-year-old school was taken away, and she didn't have any news about him anymore. And now I left my five-year-old daughter to relatives and came to the "Nord-Ost". I guess I understand her why she did it. Although I understand perfectly well that such problems cannot be solved at the expense of other people's lives. Probably, it is also wrong. But when a person is brought to despair ... I saw two terrorists, they spoke literally in a step from us, they pulled money out of his pocket, shows each other: That's all I have left. On the way, she will give 10 rubles to whom 50. I sat and thought that here for these 10, 50 rubles we were sold. Militiamen selling us sold. You can imagine, so many lives someone sold for 10 rubles, someone took more expensive - 50.

There was a guy young. It seemed to me that young. Probably a little more than 20 years. So he was clearly the authorities over us. He ran with a gun along the ranks and tried to command. And Barayev at that time sat on stage on a chair. At some point he called him and said: "Do you remember the movie" Slave Izaura? "Watched?" He says: "Yes, I remember." "You," says, - as a supervisor from this film. " And, oddly enough, the guy was embarrassed and took his activity.

Once again, Barayev said that foreigners will be released, but only with representatives of embassies, and began to share us on Russians and foreigners. We once again were not lucky, because ours from Sasha's passport were in the American embassy at the receipt of a visa, and Sandy was simply not used to walking with a passport, he was lying in his hotel. The only thing he had a driver's license with him. I asked a woman to call Barayev, she did not go, and she handed over the chain. Barayev approached, I showed him the right, tried to explain that we were foreigners, he had long considered. Apparently, the first time saw such a document. But in the end he said to miss us. And we, therefore, from the end of the parquer were in the forefront next to the side door, followed by Olga Romanova.

Right holder illustration Getty Images Image Caption. Many politicians came to the scene of the incident, including Irina Khakamada - at that time, the vice-speaker of the State Duma

I heard how "doctors without borders" came after her, heard them saying that it was not their work - the corpses to carry out. Nobody died into the hall to us. Therefore, what happened there, we knew only by fragmentary reports on the radio and because Barayev said. All negotiators were outside the hall. The only thing I know that Roshal was allowed to the balcony. But I did not see him myself. I remember Baraev prepared for a meeting with Govorukhin, with the son of the famous Russian director. They really prepared, removed the poster, went waving somewhere. And so - about those who came, I learned later, from the press or on the stories of the hostages who were on the balcony and saw something.

When I was already in the hospital, I spoke with a girl who was on the balcony. And she told such a story. They came to the performance with a guy, and men from women were separated on the balcony. In the parter, they tried to do it, but they did not succeed, because we were more. And this girl wanted to stay next to his boyfriend, and she pretended to be bad. He was immediately called, they said that he would put her in the hall. He delivered it in the hall, she already got up there, and here they began to shoot our snipers. They fell back to the floor and crawled back to the hall. This is again the attitude.

BBC: In the hall were representatives of power?

S.G.: There were no authorities in the hall. There were some individual officials, there was some general. They [the invaders] began to ask if the military in the hall, and who had documents with them, began to hide them. And in some way (this general was on the balcony, I only know from words) I heard the triumphant voice of Barayev: "All my life I dreamed of catching the general." But he was not shot. Just held him on a special account. There were journalists, girls from the newspaper "Moscow Komsomolets", if I remember correctly. Well, some more journalists were. They were given the opportunity to contact the outside world. I know for sure that they almost constantly supported the connection with the radio station "Echo of Moscow".

Again, there is such a myth that terrorists demanded that relatives and acquaintances go to the Red Square with a rally. Not true. I already told how Baraev asked why we were captured, and he replied: "You do not go with rallies to the Red Square", and one of the women, she sat on 9-10 row somewhere, significantly lower us, says: "Our government will not save us, let's call our friends, relatives, let them go to the Red Square." Baraev said: "Well, call, well, say." He gave the opportunity to use a mobile phone.

For us there was a big problem to let the outside world, that we were hostage. Because mobile was not anyone, nor Sandy, nor me. And those who had a mobile nearby, I was not given, like "Oh, there is a smaller charge, oh, there is no money." In general, there was no possibility. Only after some time one of the women gave me her phone to call me, reported. And later, after six months, hostages in the Saharov Center were gathered for the first time. I saw a girl with a photo that I asked: did anyone seen my mom? It was the woman who gave me to call. So I got acquainted with Tanya Schifrina, this is the daughter of Anna Sifrina, she died.

In addition to Olga Romanova, there were two more victims, even three, can be said. A man came - again it is not clear how he passed this barrier all - he came, as he said, learn about his son, son called Roman. This man led to Baraev, he came with some kind of package. They were already near the scene - and then we were sitting in 11 row, it was not very clear that it was poured out of the package. If I walked there, where, as I think, my child sits, I would probably brought food first. And there something like that incomprehensible celluloid fell from this package. And the yaster approached, says: "Yes, I know, there is a novel, 10 years old, sits on the balcony." He says: "No, my son is older." Dried around the hall: novel, novel, I do not remember the surname. No one responded. Baraev says: "So there is no you son here?" "So no ..." accused him of the fact that he is a laser. And he said that according to the laws of Sharia, he was shot at dawn. He was taken out of the hall, but I did not hear the shots, so I do not know who killed him.

And one more case with the use of weapons was. It was already Barayev said that he was promised to meet with Kazantsev (the former presidential plenipotentiary in the Southern Federal District Victor Kazantsev - approx. BBC). And that if there is no meetings, we will shoot. Hall somehow arrive. It was already the evening on October 25, they walked the third day, it already seemed to let it somehow somehow, but will end. And one of the guys - now I know that it was Denis fungi - he did not stand the nerves, and he with a bottle from under the peps-cola in his hands on the chairs from the last rows ran here to terrorist. I saw how one of the terrorists raised the machine and began to shoot, and looked in the direction of shooting: he made a few steps, he was pulled down behind his feet.

Those who shot him did not fall into him, were mortally injured Pavel Zakharov and wounded Tamar Stark. Time has passed, now I know their names. Tamara was with his family, with her daughter and with her husband. I remember the treasured cry of this man, he shouted: "Lisa, our mother was killed!" Then it turned out that they just wounded. Doctors turned out to be in the hall, they began to assist. I had a feeling that they [terrorists] themselves from the surprise that the hostages were wounded, they frightened. In any case, Baraev first called the headquarters, as I understand it, but I could not get through, then I began to ask if someone had relatives in the headquarters near the headquarters, let's call, let's say that he accidentally wounded. I am not literally, but the meaning of [transmit]. A young woman was sitting near us, she called the phone number of her husband, Baraev became something in love with him, this girl snatched the tube from the Barayev, and began to explain to her husband that he was accidentally injured two people that he needs medical care, but that There are no hostages, it's all by chance, do not need assault. All the assaults were very frightened - both hostages and terrorists.

Right holder illustration Alexander Nemenov. Image Caption. Storming the building began early in the morning of October 26

When all this happened, they were fixed, the horror was in humans. Then they dug. Barayev announced that in the morning, and 10-11 hours were appointed negotiations with Kazantsev, which he flies from Chechnya. And he said that they would produce Americans, asked who among us Americans. Said, call the American Embassy. Give us a mobile phone. At first Sandy talked, then he was asked to give me a phone. I have already spoken in Russian with the representative of the embassy, \u200b\u200bexplained that I was appointed in the morning that we would be released. The representative of the embassy asked how much, I gave the Baraev tube, agreed at 8 am.

Then it was necessary to call, but it turned out that the tube has doctors. In my opinion, in my opinion, more than an hour between the conversation and shots. And I was surprised to see that the doctors still try to interrogate the help of this wounded. That is, such a desire from the authorities to save people, in my opinion, was not. Imagine, for more than an hour they tried to interrogate help. Of course, this can not not call my indignation personally.

Later, I learned that steps were also taken by the Kazakhstan embassy. Also agreed for 8 hours, but, unfortunately, the assault began before. The latter who was released from the audience were Azerbaijani citizens, there were 4 people, and I remember the face of a woman. You know, this is the expectation state. It is impossible to describe it.

The last time I looked at the clock was the beginning of the fourth. But I already had such a fortune that here is a little, 8 hours - and we will be released. Sasha and Sandy slept, holding hands. I thought, you need to fall asleep soon, to rather came the morning. But I came to my hospital. That is, neither the assault, nor gas I saw, because my dream smoothly switched to whom.

Condivated in resuscitation. We were two, a young woman who was lying with me in resuscitation, she and her husband was in the parter. A monitor was tied to one hand, which was followed by the work of the heart, to another dropper. I know that there was a stop of the heart, my chest sick was very sick, made an indirect heart massage, as I understand. The whole body was covered with something like that sticky, nasty, very much wanted to wash. Stories that all hospitals were ready for reception hostages, it is not true, because it was not necessary to wash it elementary. While my neighbor on the chamber, relatives did not bring soap, we had nothing to be frowning.

I really wanted to drink. As soon as they gave to drink, severe vomiting began. Roded with something with such brown, similar to chocolate, chocolate color. I thought: it's strange that it is like chocolate did not eat. And the nurse with round eyes ran from me to the Alfieu and back, because it will break me out, then it. And these are full trays ... At some point, the tray overflowed, and this mass hit the sheet. Then, when I feel decently felt, I saw that it was a blood clots. That is, apparently, it was a burn of the esophagus or stomach, I do not know what. Therefore, rushed just blood. And the nurse spoke frightened: girls, maybe you will not drink? Because very much rushed.

As for the intention of terrorists to shoot hostages, it causes great doubts. I personally heard myself, the 25th Barayev talked with someone on the phone, and I just sat with the edge, and he passed by and spoke apologizing tone: "Yes, yes, we mumbled here, but we will leave - we will remove them ". Immediately there were large polyethylene black bags for garbage, and we began to collect rubbish: those packages from the juice, from under some candy. All this garbage began to collect in these large packages. This is the first. Second. My sleep under the influence of gas moved to whom, so what happened in the hall, I did not see. But my friends who did not fall asleep immediately at the time of starting the gas, heard Baraev began to look for an electrician - gas was served through ventilation. He began to shout: "Where is the electrician? It is necessary to turn off the ventilation!" Instead of letting the team to shoot. And ran out of the hall to organize defense.

Then, when the materials of the case were available to us, I saw a certificate (this is the official certificate of investigation) that the terrorists were shooting out during, in my opinion, I'm afraid to lie, but on the site I have there somewhere this reference. In my opinion, for 20 minutes or half an hour they shot out. 20 minutes is more than enough to blow all these bombs that were in the hall. They did not do it. Barayev did not give the team to blow these bombs.

In general, I had a feeling at some point that they were going to leave. Take a group of hostages and leave. It was a feeling. I do not know what it was based on, but just, you know, some little things. I saw one of the terrorists, he had a closed face, but he was in a civil costume, that is, if he was going to shoot there, explode, then why was he changed to civil? As I remember now: Dark such costume in a strip. Well, why, if you're going to blow up everyone here and kill, why do you need to clean garbage? That's for some such nuances I had the feeling that they were not going to blow up the hall.

One of the hostages, a journalist, wrote a book. In her book, I thought that the terrorist, who stood next to them, when they started to serve the gas, she said: go closer to the exit, you will be afraid to take it faster, and we will leave here. Then one of the actors of the musical Marat Abdrakhmanov also told that the terrorist, who was next to him, began to wear a respirator. That is, they and to such an option, apparently, were preparing, but did not shoot. In the criminal case materials, I saw a certificate that a group of special services, when they approached the hall, met a terrorist who did not throw a grenade into the hall, and he tried to shoot on them from the gun.

That is, all these facts say that they were not going to kill us. And, in general, except for those people about whom I spoke: Olga Romanova, Gennady Vlakh and Pavel Zakharov, the terrorists did not kill a single person else in the hall. Another officer was still killed outside, I will not say in memory, it seems, Vasilyev. But I did not see it, I learned about it later from the materials of the criminal case.

Therefore, what concerns the rescue operation itself ... the proportion of gas use causes me a big doubt. Unfortunately, international, foreign communities, they, in my opinion, were not reacted properly. Politics is a complex thing. Thus, they made it possible to use gas to use other countries. And see how this has it turns out: in Nord-Oste, it is, it means that it is possible and right, and in other countries, this is what nightmare, how can they use gases! Is it not a dual policy?

And it seems to me that it was a gas test (but these are my speculations, I clearly separate the facts from the speculation). There were ideal conditions. Big room, people of different ages. Children, boys, girls, men, old men, women. That is, ideal for testing. Immediately such a large group. And if you already talk about legality, then according to the laws of the Russian Federation, information relating to the life and health of citizens cannot be a state secret. However, it passed 15 years, and we still do not know the composition of the gas, doctors cannot treat me, they do not know what consequences than poisoned and what consequences. Just do not know.

BBC: Do you have consequences?

S.G.: Sure. Here, in Kazakhstan, it is generally useless, because we are a peaceful country that did not fight particularly. There are doctors in Russia, having a large history of wars of different, they have certain specialists. A few years ago, I accidentally got to the doctor, osteopath. I have problems with bones, joints. It feels that the body falls apart, and what happens, I do not understand. To our doctors, it is also useless to contact, because the answer that shook me to the depths of the soul, when I came to the doctor: "And I think that you shouldn't have to hurt here." I did not come for exemption from work. I wanted to help me. And such an answer - I think that you should not hurt. But it hurts!

And so I got to Osteopath, he was a former military doctor, all the hot spots passed, finished his work as the head of the hospital. He saw me for the first time, we were not familiar. And he said: I can not understand why you, civilian person, changes in the muscles and joints, like a person who fell under a chemical attack. I'm not talking about the fact that I was transferred from the hospital to the hospital, but each doctor was afraid to write that I am healthy. Take such responsibility. When I was discharged from the first hospital, the sister was waiting nearby, stood next to the Cabinet of the head doctor. Nurse has entered, ask what diagnosis to write. And my sister heard the chief physician said that if we would write the truth, we will plant us.

Right holder illustration Getty Images Image Caption. Among the dead were 10 children

This was mentioned a lot in one time that the diagnoses were faked. I was discharged from the hospital. But it is very important to continue treatment to have primary information. I asked my personal medical card. She was seized. I was told: everything is fine with you, but I did not give a medical map on my hands. Later, since it was bad well-being, made a tomogram. It turned out that I had a stroke. This gas affects certain areas of the brain, and it caused it to stroke.

In my opinion, it is more important how the rescue operation was organized. Think: what is a thousand people for a multimillion city. This is a drop in the sea. And organize adequate medical care, if you also blame us, you should have been. But, nevertheless, there was no such aid. The way of people rose is different than the disgrace you can not call. Hospitals were not identified where to carry people were not organized ways. That is why when large officials go, for them the corridors are arranged? Why such corridors could not be arranged for transport that brought the poisoned hostages? Why more than 80, in my opinion, ambulance cars - did not even take advantage of their services, did not even be there, and people instead were driving to buses. And these buses were not only Moscow, were from the suburbs, from the Moscow region. And naturally, the drivers did not know where hospitals were located, did not know where to carry people.

As for my loved ones, then the 27th I learned on the radio that Sasha died. Although that she died, it was known immediately, on the 26th. Almost at 10 in the morning it was known that she died. But, nevertheless, only the 27th, before that they said all the time that there were no dead children. Only 27 they said that Sasha died. The fact that Sandy was killed, I learned from representatives of the American Embassy of the 28th. Almost immediately Sasha was identified. Another sitting in the hall, she wrote the surname and name and phone number of my friend.

And Sandy, as soon as the capture happened, he had a daughter from the first marriage, Debra. He wrote on his hand: Debra, I love you. And as for Sasha, I tormented me for a very long time, I needed to know how she died. Another investigation that the Germans organized, there is one of the members of the Commission, the female doctor, said that there was a case that in full buses were taken by people and dispersed the girl. And for some reason I hooked me. And later I came across the article in the newspaper about how a Pazik was arrived at the first town hospital, designed for 12 seats, which was naked by hostages. 32 people were pressed, and at the bottom of this heap lay my daughter. This car also had several special forces and a journalist. Now imagine how it happened. Standing the bus. Brought my daughter. The driver looked indifferently, as she was thrown to the floor. Then the same indifferent people threw one person on her, then the other, then the third. An indifferent special forces rode in this bus, and no one even jerked the thought to pull out Sasha from the bottom of this heap. How should I treat this operation? I do not know these people. And I will unlikely ever find out the name of this driver, the names of these special forces, the names of those people who threw my daughter. But I hate them. They are my personal enemies.

As for Sandy, he came into the number of those people who did not turn out to be any medical care. Sasha doctors tried to save. Tried to reanimate it. But several times the heart stopped. In the end, they, in general, could not save her. And to Sandy, the doctor's hand did not touch. At all. And after that, I tell me what they did everything to save the hostages?

In my opinion, it is very important that now, after 15 years, the transfer of these events is made. Because the memory of the dead people - she really can save someone's lives. I know it for sure. In 2006, a site was created with my friends. And after a while, on this site there is information, my phone, I got the esmask from the Chechen girl. At first she sent me Esemace, then wrote a letter. After all these events, the world was divided into two parts: for some Barayev was a hero, for others - a killer. I was from the second camp, and this girl was from the first one. For her, Barayev was a hero. And here she wrote to me that I was looking for information about it everywhere on the Internet, I was looking for photos. And stumbled upon the site. I read the stories of the dead people, including my family. And for her, the world got on his feet. She understood how it was all cruel and wrong. For her, Barayev ceased to be a hero. One of these Chechen women's invaders was her friend. That is, a person has a consciousness in place. And maybe this site, my daughter's memory, saved someone's life if this girl had a consciousness in place. That is, it is very important.

In 2006, after returning from the United States, I turned to all my friends in misfortune that it was necessary to publish a memory book about each of the dead. A book in which there would be information about each. My friends met it with big skepticism. However, those who were supported were found. This is Tatyana Karpova with her family, Dmitry Milovidov. These are my main helpers. Andrei Sergeev, the former Kazakhstan, now he lives in Russia, and Charles Standel, this is an American, with whom we have met after these events, they also supported me in this. A site was created on which the information was collected, first only about the event itself and about the dead, and then began to add information about what is happening now, at present. And in 2011, this book was published. It is called "We will not die." We have suffered a very long time with the title. Among the dead there is Dasha Frolova, a 13-year-old girl who wrote on his hand: "We will not die, just let it never be war." This phrase has become the title of the book.

Since not only Russian-speaking, but foreign citizens, too, a book in two languages \u200b\u200balso died. That is, it with color photographs, divided into two parts: Russian and English part. On the site Nord-ost.org you can download this book in PDF format. And you can just walk through the memory book, this is a section of the site, and read stories about each of those who died. The book continues to live and develop, because comments on each page are added. For example, Natasha Shobubeva died, she studied in Sorbonne. And quite recently, an entry from her fellow students appeared on her page. He was looking for her for many years and could not find it anywhere until he accidentally did not read on our site that she died. In general, people, of course, are very different, for example, Denis Panteleev, he is Leningradets, in his honor the ship is called. There is a woman who was engaged in the cover of the Bran spacecraft. Do not retell. Every talented in its own way. Everyone is interesting. It was very difficult to edit the book, we could not find the corrector. People began to read and simply could not. Therefore, they subtracted themselves. Some mistakes, of course, remained, but, nevertheless, the book lives in memory of our loved ones.

On October 23, 2002, several dozen armed militants broke into the Musical "Nord-Ost" and seized 916 people hostage. It seemed that no one would not forget this. But 10 years later, no one else wants to remember this tragedy. Moreover, the "Nord-Ost" still really really knows: who is the organizer, why the hostage died, that it was for gas. BG formulated seven questions about Nord-Oste, which still do not have convincing answers.

Movsar Barayev (sits on the right) at first was considered the leader of the terrorists. He is the only one who during the capture of DCs on Dubrovka did not hide his face. He gave an interview to the NTV television channel. But in fact, the leader was Ruslan Elmurzayev, named Abubakar (sits on the left). He led the main negotiations and gave instructions to Barayev, what exactly to report to journalists.

What was the hostage from?

Directly from the actions of terrorists killed four people. The official version for the mass death of the rest of the hostages is: it happened due to stress, hunger, insomnia, dehydration and many hours of seating in uncomfortable poses. The state believes that no one has suffered from gas used during the assault. Experts and relatives of the hostages are considered different: they were poisoned by an unknown gas, they were not rendered first aid, they were first dumped into asphalt, and then how they rushed to buses; Hospitals were absolutely not ready for the fact that they will bring dozens of poisoned people, and doctors did not say that it was precisely for the gas, so they did not know than to treat. Only after a year and a half after Nord-Ost, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Safety Vladimir Vasilyev, the Deputy Operational Staff Department, the first of the officials acknowledged that the main cause of the death of the hostages "was the late provision of medical care."

In the column "The cause of death", the dead is worth the dash.

Vladimir Kurbatov, Father Christina, the deceased 13-year-old actress "Nord-Ost":

"On the fact of the death of people of the criminal case was not excited. It was not established even time, places and causes of death. In the column "Cause" in the death certificate of my daughter, Christina is worth a dash. At the same time, in the act of transportation of the body from the hospital to the morgue, which we were issued, it was written: the cause of death is the poisoning of highly toxic gaseous substance. In the primary forensic examination, which was carried out in the morgue, was also a conclusion about poisoning. But then the consequence decided to pull it out, and the Special Commission, consisting of "Lighting Medicine", gave another conclusion with the wording, which Putin voiced: they say, the gas is harmless, and the hostage died due to the fact that they were sitting in uncomfortable poses, from chronic diseases and dehydration.

As for doctors, all the doctors of nearby hospitals openedly then declared the press that they were preparing for receiving patients with minno-fragmentation wounds and were not ready to take people with poisoning by an unknown substance.

When we prepared a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights, I called all hospitals that were indicated in the evacuation plan and took the victims. Of the 12 hospitals, in which I was able to get through, only one had a toxicological department, where qualified assistance in poisoning could have affected the victims. "

Andrei Soldatov, chief editor of the site Agentura.ru, dedicated to the work of the special services; Behind the assault on Dubrovka watched the window of the house opposite:

"The main question for the operational staff is to Mr. Pinnevo, who is still the first deputy director of the FSB, and to Mr. Vasilyev, the Deputy Head of the Operational Staff and the former Zamu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: what the hell did they unfold a field hospital in close proximity to the building? It seems that they are or expected that they will have some killed, and for those who survive, will be quite fast, which were in place, - or did not think about it at all.

By law, strength, funds and tactics of special operations - secret. Gas is a means, so no one was going to give it to anyone. But the situation was terrifying: people were taken out in a variety of species, pounded on each other right on the asphalt, and they began to die there, choking by the lots. This problem could be solved, not even knowing what kind of gas, simply having first aid, but this was not done - they simply dumped into the buses, many were already dead. I think even if the special services promptly said that it was for the gas, the situation would not be much improved. "

Karinna Moskalenko, lawyer of the group of former hostages "Nord-Ost" in the ECHR:

"The authorities still carry this shameless nonsense:" The hostage rescue operation was brilliant. " People died, and they say: "Brilliant, only the doctors pumped up." As if the doctors acted at their own discretion and did not come on time, because they are so vigilant. "

What gas was used during storm?

The composition of the gas is still classified. Two things are known about him: 1) He "harmless" - this Putin said to American journalists, explaining why people could not die from the actions of special services; 2) It is made "on the basis of fentanyl derivatives" - this was stated by Shevchenko's Health Minister (fentanyl - narcotic analgesic, according to the biological effects of hundreds of times stronger than heroin). Nevertheless, no one called the exact gas formula, it is only known that a certain chemist officer, whose surname is classified, later received the title of Hero of Russia for participating in the special operation.

Lev Fedorov, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, President of the Union "For Chemical Security":

"You can hang on a fentanyl a thousand of all sorts of tails - and it will turn out a million different substances. The phrase "fentanyl derivatives" is nothing about anything, it means only that we did not want to name the substance.

The authorities still stated that they keep the formula of gas secretly because all the intelligence of the world was chased. It's a bullshit. There is an international convention on the prohibition of chemical weapons, it lists permissible substances that do not have to kill people. And the authorities used other substances that killed 125 people, that is, they committed a state chemical crime. And if they reveal the formula, their whole world will immediately condemn, because they did not have the right to apply it.

There was still a lot of conversations about the antidotes, which the special forces and doctors did not have. Antidote is a substance that can catch up in the body of the poison and with the help of chemistry to turn it into another substance or weaken the symptom. But the conversation about antidotees in this case is the distraction from the essence of the case, because the main thing is that the gas should not kill people. In Nord-Oste, they had experience, which in the world did not come to anyone. "

Karinna Moskalenko:

"The European Court, in which we filed a complaint about a violation of the right to life, did not support us only in one point. He said that gas use was justified. In principle, I can understand it: the Human Rights Court is not a court on humanitarian issues, for military conflicts. However, logic, of course, is chromas: if the gas formula, the name and properties are not disclosed, then how can it be solved, rightly was its use or not? "

Andrei Soldatov:

"I have always had a very specific attitude to the use of this gas, because I then saw the terrorists in Beslan, the windows were first knocked out and generally behaved much more rigidly and disgusting - so that Nord-Ost" did not happen to them. It was a direct result of the actions of Russian power structures on Dubrovka. "

Anatoly Yermolin, the former head of the operational combat department "Vimpel", Lieutenant Colonel of the FSB in stock:

"Spetsnaz knew that gas would be, therefore entered the building with gas masks, but what kind of gas, what are the consequences of him, I think they did not say. Moreover, I know the staff who mounted in this gas, and they had great health problems. "

How many terrorists were and how many killed hostages?

As a result of the assault, 40 militants were killed - according to official data, it was so many terrorists who captured the theater center on Dubrovka. But, for example, the hostage Svetlana Gubareva claimed that he had seen in the hall at least 24 shahids, although it was killed 19. And after six months, Anna Politkovskaya journalist met in the hotel "Satellite" on Leninsky Avenue with some Hangash Terkibayev, who said to her in an interview that was Among the militants on Dubrovka as a FSB agent. In addition, in the case of the investigation there is a number 52 - so much militants Shamil Basayev selected to prepare terrorist attacks in Moscow.

Another confusion with the number of dead: 130 people officially died, but the lawyer of Karinna Moskalenko hostages, having completed all these investigations, received 174.

Vladimir Kurbatov:

"After a lot of requests to the prosecutor's office, we have achieved access to investigative materials, and just counted in the column, how much died in the building, how many on the steps, in the ambulance, in the buses, in hospitals, it turned out 174 people. In court, we asked the head of the Church of the Investigation Panel, as he could explain these numbers. He replied: "Well, you think so, and I think that you want from me?"

Perhaps it is still an error in counting: 44 - too much discrepancy. Three years ago, a memorable board appeared on the site of the terrorist attack - I think if there were no surname, relatives would be outraged.

There are a lot of testimony about the fact that terrorists were more, but the investigation did not take into account them. To the question, why did not interrogate Hangash Terkibaeva, Kalchuk replied that they went to the hotel, which Politkovskaya called, and did not find anyone. Then it turned out that Anna spoke about the Hotel Satellite, and investigators went to the Sosmos Hotel. And as soon as Terkibayev became interested in the FBI (an American citizen was killed at Nord-Oste), Terkibaev crashed into a car accident in Chechnya. "

Karinna Moskalenko:

"We studied the decisions of the very consequence and got the figure 174 are data without surnames, only the quantity. The question arises: where are the relatives of these 44 people? We believe that these are unclaimed people. We arrived in Moscow to take a walk, to the mistress, on a business trip - anything. And disappeared. Who will be engaged in this statistic - to find out the missing at the same time in the cities of Russia? For whom they came, those are on the official list. "

Andrei Soldatov:

"I saw the assault from the apartment window opposite: the hostages were taken out and folded into the ranks as the dead. And in these ranks there were exactly more people than the authorities called.

But the story with Terkibayev was untested. Terkibaev from the category of people with a special psychological warehouse that pop up on different reasons and say they can be the best assistants. I do not think it is relevant to reality.

But it does not completely cancel that parts of the terrorists managed to leave. Many operatives later spoke about it. There was a complete madhouse. Sturm conducted not one organization: there were several groups of special substance, which were to be cleared of terrorists, and there were still internal troops that initially provided the security perimeter, but when a big shooting began, too, for some reason went somewhere. As a result, chaos came: the building is large, a bunch of communications, exits in different directions, various groups of armed groups are moved along it, which they themselves do not know where they move. The situation, of course, is not so catastrophic, as in Beslan, where people simply ran in different directions, but people who participated in the storm said that the perimeter security task was not solved. Moreover, not only me, but many journalists were sitting there, where, generally speaking, they should not sit, - this also speaks about the transparency of the perimeter. It was possible to go out, it was possible enough, so the intelligence agencies and say that some kind of people gone. "

What caused the assault?

The authorities argued that the assault was a forced measure: the terrorists refused the negotiations and began to shoot hostages. In the hall through the ventilation systems, the gas was launched, which flew terrorists, after which special forces entered there, neutralized the bomb and began to pull out people.

However, the participants in the operation argue that there were no shots. In addition, on the eve of the evening, terrorists promised a meeting at 10 am with General Kazantsev, the first official representative of the authorities, which they were clearly happy and even stated that already at 11.00 hostages could be released. Gas - Even according to the investigation, it began to act not instantly, and at least after 10 minutes. Moreover, one of the militants with a machine gun and shouts "they laughed on the scene". It turns out that the time to blow up the hall they had, and the fact that this did not happen - a great luck, and not the merit of the organizers of the special operation.

Andrei Soldatov:

"There was such a version, voiced deputy headquarters from Vasilyev's headquarters that the assault was triggered by shots inside. But the fact is that by about half an hour to shooting, spotlights were repaid, which all the time covered the square in front of the DC. Terrorists said: if you expect them, we will perceive it as the beginning of the assault and behave accordingly. You can say with confidence - on the basis of what I saw personally, and what the participants of the operation were told - the assault was planned, his time was appointed, and there was no provocation by terrorists.

The assault participants said to me that the terrorists had time to explode: when the special forces entered there, the terrorists were alive, they did not sleep and shoot themselves. One fighter even ran out to the scene with a machine gun: it was very quickly repaid from the balcony. Why they did not explode - unknown.

Many then assumed that the bombs were doubling. But the explosive engine of FSB Georgy Trofimov, who directly engaged in demining devices at Nord-Oste (unfortunately, he died after a year and a half), argued that these bombs were real. It seems that it was more an alarm of the intimidation than the real terrorist attack: or they were generally not ready to blast everything, or the last order did not come to anyone of terrorists.

I was told by the participants of the assault: on the basis of intelligence, they were confident that the bombs are real and accurately explode that the chances of preventing the explosion of the bomb - 2-3%. When they went on the assault, everyone was prepared for the fact that the dome of the building collapses from the explosion, there will be a huge number of dead and they themselves will also die.

Special Forces had a disposal of the prosecutor's office - not to leave any of the militants alive. As the commander told me one of the operational combat groups, proceeded from the fact that any of the terrorists, it does not matter where it is located, can actuate explosive devices through a radio signal.

The problem was that they were only counting on it. All alternatives are simply not considered. Plus, they thought it would still be full hell, and it was necessary to use everything that was at hand: they were tested in advance this gas, did not test - it does not matter, it is necessary to take everything, because it will still be very bad.

In the end, they spend the assault, for some reason they do not explode, the whole hall is alive, and here the collapse comes: no one knows what to do next. Special Forces physically little to quickly endure all people, not a briefing about how to endure, in what condition, where, and they began to just dump in the ranks on each other.

There was information from the prosecutor's office, which was also on the spot that by the end of the third day there were quite successful negotiations - managed to convince terrorists that they will be sent to them and they will calmly leave, and therefore, in the morning, some part of the terrorists, apparently, relaxed and even Gone somewhere in the lobby to celebrate. Based on this, we can say that there is no need to arrange the storm on this day and it was precisely in such conditions. This is not a situation of Beslan, when people die simply from dehydration, - roughly speaking, there is nothing ticked "another hour - another ten will die."

Anatoly Yermolin:

"The operation was well planned and prepared. Few guess that if the bomb exploded, we would have lost all elite troops at all, because Alpha and Vympel were included in the Nord-Ost, with almost full combat composition. These are my friends, and I know that they before entering goodbye to each other and families.

Invalid decision, in my opinion, was used to use gas, because he did not play any role in operation. If the terrorists wanted to undermine the hall, they would have undermined it. As a result, the gas instantly people did not turn off, the terrorists had to be destroyed by a classic way, and the gas caused the mass poisoning of people, which was the tragic result of the rescue operation. "

How are dozens of militants armed with automata, machine guns and explosives, could organize the terrorist attack in the center of Moscow?

Two years after the seizure of the Theater Center in Izvestia, an article has appeared that the leader of the terrorists of Abubakar, he also, Ruslan Elmurzayev, was listed by the head of the Security Service of the Moscow Prima Bank. In the bank he took on a loan of $ 40,000 to buy fake documents, two minibuses, in which on October 23, a group of terrorists arrived at Dubrovka, as well as for rent an apartment. In the city, the group of militants moved to the collector armor, which belonged to Prima-Bank. After the appearance of this publication, the investigation stated that he examines information on the connection of Abubakar with Prima-Bank, and then declared the head of the Bank's Board, Chechen Muharbek Barkinhoev, wanted. By the time of the bank, as such, no longer existed: he selected a license and declared it bankrupt back in 2003 after complaints of depositors, and two employees were judged for fraud. What is the end of this story - it is unknown: all the materials of the investigation according to Nord-Ost are still closed.

Yuri Senators, Senior Correspondent of the newspaper "Kommersant", the author of the article "Nord-Ost" seized a banker "in Izvestia:

"I then issued this information to FESBESHniki from the department to combat terrorism. Formally Abubakar was the head of the Prima Bank security service, and the de facto its owner. Before me really about it, no one wrote. But then I stopped engaged in the Chechen theme, drinking vodka with fesbashniki, moved to Kommersant and I do not know what happened next to this story. I know that the Bank took away the license, "it was a small wash bank, someone escaped, criminal proceedings were brought against someone, but not by Nord-Ost, but on deceived depositors."

What ended the investigation of the terrorist attack?

In connection with Nord-Est, a criminal case was initiated on the fact of terrorism and the seizure of people hostage - it is openly so far. The criminal case on the fact of the death of the hostages was not initiated. Circumstances and causes of their death are not established. Staff documents were destroyed. The composition of the headquarters is classified. The identity of six terrorists are not installed. A total of two were attracted to the court: Zaurback Talghov, who was outside and talked on the phone with Movsar Barayev during the seizure (8.5 years for the aid of terrorists), and the policeman Alyamkin (7 years old for a bribe for registration of registration of a citizen L. Bakueva, which turned out Among the militants).

There was still consideration of the team's team of hostages in the European Court of Human Rights. In December 2011, ECHRs satisfied the complaints of the hostages relatives, seemingly in inadequate planning of the special operation by the Russian authorities and the absence of an effective investigation of the terrorist attack of the violation of the right to life, awarded 64 victims of compensation with the total amount of 1 million 300 thousand euros and demanded a new investigation from Russia.

Karinna Moskalenko:

"We cannot prove the involvement of the state to this tragedy - it means that we cannot prove a violation of negative rights to life: no one can be deprived of life, torture, etc. But there are positive rights: the state not only should not kill people, but also should ensure their security - that is, to protect against third parties. And this is a violation in Nord-Oste, we have proven. The complaint was satisfied in two parameters. The hostage rescue operation was carried out of the hand badly - the first aid was not to interact between the participants of the rescue operation, and therefore did not save people. The European Court does not share an assault surgery and salvation. If the assault was carried out in order to save people - and the European Court thinks about the authorities that is better than they actually, - then it was a single, poorly coordinated operation. And this is the first violation of the right to life. And the second is the lack of investigation. The European Court cannot blame the state in the death of people or justify him, because there was no investigation, so he says: we do not know who is to blame, but you did not investigate it, and therefore violated the right to life.

The Russian authorities hid all the documents of the headquarters, said: all the documents were destroyed. In addition, they provided in the ECHR materials of the current criminal case, which they were answered that this investigation was not about that - it is about terrorists, and it is about the victims. ECHR expressed the deepest bewilderment about this.

Now we make a list of issues of the Investigative Committee for a new investigation. If he does not answer these questions, then, based on the letter and spirit of the law, the ECHR decision will not be fulfilled. This is not only compensation, but also the establishment of the circumstances in which the closest applicants died, as well as the personalities responsible for their death, for the mother who lost the thirteen-year-old daughter under the severity of the corpses in the bus, it is very important. Otherwise, we will write a memorandum into the EU Committee of Ministers that measures are not fulfilled. "

Vladimir Kurbatov:

"Based on the decision of the Court in Strasbourg, the lawyer of some hostages Igor Trunov filed a petition to the Investigation Committee on the Resumption of the Investigation, but, as far as I know, the SC answered that allegedly they have no official translation of the Strasbourg court decision by the Ministry of Justice, so they cannot conduct No action.

In fact, the death of people did not be excited. We have not seen all the investigative materials, we were allowed only to some volumes, the bulk of the case was classified. Initially, we were generally allowed to get acquainted only with forensic opinions. Moreover, they prohibited them, only to rewrite from the hand - they sat and rewritten 15-20 pages about how the organs of your deceased child were filled with blood, what size of his brain, etc. ".

Yuri Senators:

"I know that the corpses of all terrorists took to the morgue number 2 on the truck with the inscription" Bread ". There, the corpses dumped overnight, no investigative actions spent. In theory, they had to raise bullets from them, identify who, how much, what, but did not make it. All night around the morgue was on duty sniper, and at dawn, the corpses were taken to Lianozovsky crematorium, where they burned. It was told me one of the investigators of the group, which worked on the Nord-Ost, and the familiar in that morgue confirmed me.

I think they identified them in the end through the Agency Network and on the documents - the terrorists also worked in this theater center, it seems that they were tied to repair there, even T-shirts were with the inscription "Nord-Ost". So their personalities more or less quickly installed. "

"Nord-Ost" is a brilliant special operation or a successful terrorist attack?

Andrei Soldatov:

"The situation was initially political: the terrorists put forward political requirements, and Putin and the security forces arranged a real hysteria called" We should not repeat Budennovsk. " It seems that the whole story is about what had to be shown, as the new Russian power is responsible for the same challenge, at which Yeltsin broke. They perceived it so and only thought about it.

The problem was in the fact that at the official level, and at the level of special services the assault was called the victory. And the victory in the Russian understanding means that there will be no flight parsing. I specifically asked: "Guys, who have you conducted an operation with a huge number of victims, did you start some reforms? On the basis of combat experience, you should somehow adjust your actions? " They answered: "No, we didn't do anything, because it was officially said that it was victory." Moreover, at that time, such a theory was very popular in the FSB - wild, in my opinion, - that for Shahids the action is considered successful if each of them captures at least six people. I do not know where it came from, but such a theory circulated. And special, let's say, efforts to inform information about the victims in such a way that the number of victims divided by the number of terrorists was less than six. To this came.

The authorities believed if showing terrorists that we won, and not they, then they would not do it anymore. As a result, both sides in this story considered themselves winners. And some did not move to review their actions and change tactics, and the latter decided that it won, it means that this success could be repeated, so Beslan was inevitable by and large. "

Anatoly Yermolin:

"I believe that it was a special forces of a drama that could become a triumphal victory, but did not because of the wrong accepted management decisions. Special operation is not only breaking and competently destroying terrorists. It is including logistics: an ambulance entrance, transportation of people, the interaction of salvation services - and at this stage everything was failed.

The last names of the two fighters of Vympel and Alpha, who were awarded the titles of the heroes of Russia, I know, I will not call them, but in the circle of special forces everyone knows them. This estimate is not the people, but the state. But I know many officers who abandoned the reward for Nord-Ost. During the Chechen war, for example, many refused the ranks, believing that they could not be taken for the civil war. But I can not judge those who took the reward is the matter of honor and the solution of each particular person. "

Chronology of events

21.05 In the building of the theater center on Dubrovka, armed people in camouflage arrived on three minibuses.

How many people died. The official version is 130 people. The hostage and their relatives of Karinna Moskalenko based on these investigators stated that 174 people died. The head of the investigative group, Vladimir Kalchuk, in response to the claims about the difference in estimates of the died, said: "Well, you think so, and I think so what do you want from me?"

Why they died. The actions of terrorists killed only four. In testimonies about the death of some victims of the battle terrorist attack in the column "The cause of death. President Vladimir Putin a year after the terrorist attack stated that people died because of "dehydration, chronic diseases, the fact that they had to remain in the building." Vladimir Vasiliev, at that time, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Safety and Deputy Head of the Operational Staff at Nord-Oste, said that the main reason for the death of hostages is "untimely providing medical care". Experts and relatives of the hostages believe that people died due to poisoning by an unknown gas, which special forces applied during the assault of DC. Vladimir Putin argued that the gas was harmless.

"Naming" on NTV after the terrorist attack. This issue and talk show "Freedom of the speech", where the relatives of the victims criticized the actions of the authorities, considered to change the leadership of the TV channel

What it was for gas. The formula of the substance is Gostaya. It was "special treatment on the basis of fentanyl derivatives," the FSB reported and confirmed the Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Yuri Shevchenko. According to Dr. Chemical Sciences, President of the Union "For Chemical Security" of Lev Fydorova, this information "In general about anything": "You can hang on a fentanyl a thousand of all sorts of tails - and a million different substances will get." According to the "Kommersant", the gas was "either a sleeping pill, or a neuro-paralytic action."

According to Anatoly Yermolin, the former chief of the operational combat department of Vympel, Lieutenant Colonel of the FSB in the reserve, in some special forces who mounted gas at storming, "then there were big health problems." "I remember the text, the face of people very badly. This is not only me, almost all the guys who we worked with, so. So the strong headaches did not pass, "the actor Marat Abdrakhimov was told with the actor terrorist attack.

The head of the Nord-Ost Public Organization Tatyana Karpova told the New Times magazine that doctors did not tell anything about the substance. One of the doctors saw people "such a state that happens when drug overdose. The doctor tried to apply Naloxone, who remove people from coma in drug poisoning. Worked. " Then with the doctors who worked with hostages, took a subscription of non-disclosure.

Why everything was so organized. The gas did not sleep all the terrorists - those who still wake up, could blow up the bombs and bury both hostages and special forces. The victims of the terrorist attack were taken out of the building and stacks put on the ground. They were delivered in the turmoil on hospitals on buses: the police demanded "to immediately ship [victims] in a dump and drip down." The day after the assault did not have information almost about the hundred people, they did not want to give information about them in hospitals. Doctors "preparing for the reception of patients with minno-fragmentation wounds and were not ready to take people with poisoning by an unknown substance," said Kurbatov Vladimir Kurbatov, the father of Krystina Kribatov, told Christina's terrorist attack.

According to Kurbatov, these investigations of the terrorist attack are classified. A complete list of members of the rescue operation is also classified. How well the headquarters planned and conducted a rescue operation, the Russian authorities were not officially investigated and not assessed. The European Court of Human Rights in 2011 considered that the operation was carried out inappropriately, and recovered compensation with Russia in the amount of 1.3 million euros for 64 victims.

For all mankind "Nord-Ost" - direction of the arrow of the compass or northeast wind. For Russians - one of the most tragic events of modern history.

On October 23, 2002, a drama began with the seizure of the Chechen militants of the audience and the actors of the popular Musical Music "Nord-Ost", also known as the "attack on Dubrovka".

In the hands of the attackers were 912 people. 130 killed, including 10 children and eight foreigners.

This topic is discussed at the BBCrussian.com Forum

The victims of Nord-Oste were less than in Budennovsk, Kizlyar and Beslan, but in the number of dead, this tragedy is inferior only to the Beslan nightmare.

119 people died in hospitals after liberation. According to many, most of them would be able to save if the operation was carried out more competently and the safety of people was not sacrificed to total secrecy.

It was not possible to end the attacks of militants in Russia until now, although in recent years their activity is mainly limited to the sevdocalevarian region and is directed against local authorities.

56 hours under the sight

According to Russian special services, in the summer of 2002, a meeting of field commanders was held in Chechnya, which was decided to "postpone the war on the territory of the enemy" and implement a major attack in the Russian capital.

Official Moscow argues that the meeting was led by the leader of the "independent Ichkeria" Aslan Maskhadov.

An indirect confirmation of the involvement of Maskhadov is an interview, given to them five days before attacking the Agency "Frances Press", in which he explained the reasons for his cooperation with Shamil Basayev and other persons recognized by the world community terrorists.

"Western leaders are forced to play with Russia to resolve their global problems, such as Balkans, Afghanistan, Georgia, and now Iraq. Now that war continues, I have nothing to lose from what I contact with such people like Basayev, udugov or Yandarbiev - the main radical leaders, "said Maskhadov, having hinted at this" exceptional operation ", which his supporters prepare.

According to representatives of the Russian special services, the attack on Dubrovka coordinated by telephone from abroad "Vice-President of Ichkeria" Zelimkhan Yandarbiev.

On February 13, 2004, he died in Dubai at the explosion of a car, presumably arranged by the Agents of the General Intelligence Department of the Russian General Staff.

The 23-year-old field commander Movsar Barayev was appointed direct supervisor. To distract attention from his personality, the militants dissolved the rumor that he was died, or left abroad to be treated after severe injury. Justice to disinformation, the Deputy Commander of the United Structure of the Federal Forces in Chechnya Boris Podprigor on October 12 officially announced the death of Baraev as a result of the aircraft.

Initially, the blow planned on the day of national consent and reconciliation on November 7, to spoil Russia a holiday, but then decided not to risk and not pull the time.

To participate in the attack, 21 men and 19 women were selected, mainly at the age of 20-23 years. It was after the "Nord-Ost" in Russia, they were widely spoken about "shakhids".

They arrived in Moscow with small groups of different types of transport and were placed on pre-removed private apartments. Barayev, accompanied by two more people, arrived on the train on October 14.

On the machines loaded with apples and watermelons, the plates for the manufacture of bombs and the "suicide belts" were delivered, three powerful explosive devices converted from 152-millimeter artillery shells, over a hundred grenades, 18 Kalashnikov machines, 20 Stechkin and Makarov pistols.

The media and the public subsequently wondered how the militants managed to freely carry so many weapons across Russia, and hinted on the possibility of bribing the police on the road checkpoints.

Concert halls and theaters were the most convenient place for capturing and maintaining a large number of people. Three points were considered: the Moscow Palace of Youth near the metro station "Frunzenskaya", theatrical center on Dubrovka (the former Palace of Culture of the 1st State Bearing Plant on Melnikov Street, 7) and the Moskovsky State Theater of the Estrada on the Embankment of the Moscow River in front of the Kremlin.

The choice fell on the center on Dubrovka, which had a large auditorium and a small amount of other rooms and outlets.

To distract the attention of the special services, the Barataev group on October 19 arranged an explosion near the McDonald's restaurant on Tashkin Street. At 13.10 the car parked at the entrance, the car buzzed at the air, taking the life of a 17-year-old teenager.

At 21:05 October 23, when the first act of the musical was completed at the theater center, three minibuses with armed people arrived at the building.

On the stage, where at that moment there were eight artists in the flight form of the 1940s, a person ran out in camouflage and with a gun, he fired several times into the air and ordered the audience to remain places, and the actors go down to the hall. Part of the public adopted this for the element of the performance.

Other militants have fusked the building, having bent into the hall of all those who came down at hand, including 20 adolescents from the Irish dance studio. Five artists and seven technical staff in the turmoil were able to escape. The next day, we managed to escape two young spectators who climbed outside through the toilet window. The militants shot them after the machine guns and a bait grenade launcher, easily wounding the superfing Girls of the Alpha Group of Konstantin Zhuravleva.

The militants have placed explosive devices in the parter and on the balconies and allowed the audience to call their relatives on mobile phones, demanding that 10 people shoot for each killed or wounded from among the attackers.

By 22:00 the building was joined by riot police, by 23:30 armored vehicles pulled up.

About midnight began negotiations. The authorities promised militants life in exchange for the liberation of hostages, but they refused, demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya.

At 19:00 on October 24, the Qatari TV channel Al-Jazeera showed a video recorded in advance on which Movsar Barayev, surrounded by five women in black capes and Chadrah, called his group of "sabotage-intelligence brigade of righteous shakhids" and demanded recognition of the independence of Chechnya.

Risking yourself, for negotiations with Barayev and his people and delivery of victims and drugs in the building included Children's surgeon Leonid Roshal, singer Joseph Kobzon, politicians Irina Khakamad, Gregory Yavlinsky, Evgeny Primakov, Ruslan Aushev and Aslambek Aslakhanov, Jordanian doctor, Associate Professor of the Moscow Medical Siechen Academy Anvar Said, Russian journalists Anna Politkovskaya, Dmitry Belovetsky, Sergey Deduchi and Anton Perepelsky, son of director Stanislav Govorukhina Sergey, British correspondent Mark Franceti and two Swiss employees of the Red Cross.

Almost due to their efforts, militants were released a total of 60 people - women, children, foreigners and Muslims.

Baraev demanded a meeting with the head of the Chechnya Akhmad Kadyrov administration, promising in this case to release 50 hostages, but he did not come.

During the siege, the militants killed five people in the building and three wounded.

At about 5 am on October 26, the precipitated began to pour into the hall through the ventilation pipes of the sleeping gas and after half an hour broke into the building. At 07:25 Assistant President Sergei Yastrzhembsky officially announced the completion of the operation.

All forty militants were killed - presumably unconscious. The public subsequently wondered why at least some of them did not retain life for investigation and an open court.

Russian TV channels showed the corpses of women with "Summer Summits" and Movsar Barataeva, near which the Bottle of Cognac standing. Some commentators have specially devoured on this circumstance, accusing the deceased in hypocrisy and violation of the canons of Islam.

Homeland forgive?

According to experts, special forces acted competently, but the evacuation and the provision of medical care to the liberated hostages were organized poorly.

For considerations of the secrecy of the doctors and rescuers were not warned in advance, and the police did not clear the surrounding streets. "Ambulance" arrived to theatrical center only around 06:30.

The evacuation of the victims stretched out for an hour and a half, with the sleeping people endured mostly non-qualified doctors, but the police and special forces. Because of the wrong position of the body, many arose asphyxia.

The use of gas was reported only at 13:00, so doctors did not know what, actually, people should be treated.

On October 27, the chief doctor of Moscow Andrei Seltsovsky said that "in its pure form from the use of such specials they do not die."

At a press conference on September 20, 2003, Vladimir Putin also argued that "these people died not as a result of gas", but from "dehydration, chronic diseases, the fact that they had to remain in the building."

However, the name and formula of the gas used Russian authorities are still hiding. According to indirect signs, it could be some kind of fentanyl-based compound.

The investigations of the actions of the authorities was not conducted. No one was asked for the mass death of hostages after liberation, nor for the fact that the special services did not know in advance about the preparation of such a major attack from their agents and won a large-scale transfer to the capital of militants and weapons.

State Duma deputy Sergey Yushkov offered colleagues to consider the issue, but the pro-Cretake majority did not support the initiative.

The head of the hero of Russia was awarded to the head of the Federal Security Service of the Federal Security Service of the FSB Vladimir Pierz, the title of Russia's hero was awarded. According to observers, Vladimir Putin sent the "security officials" of an unequivocal signal: act in the same spirit and then the victims will be forgiven.

Court yes, it's

The only defendant in the case of the seizure of the hostages on Dubrovka was the Chechen of Zurbek Talhigov, accused of aiding. On June 20, 2003, the Moscow City Court sentenced him to 8.5 years in prison.

According to a survey conducted in 2010, Levada Center, 74% of Russians fully or partially do not trust official information about the tragedy.

Part of the victims and relatives of the dead turned to the state to the state, seeking the disclosure of all information on the case and attracting managers of the operation to liability under the article "causing death by negligence."

On January 23, 2003, the Tver Court of Moscow rejected their requirements. In August of the same year, 64 people filed a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights.

Consideration of the case in Strasbourg lasted seven and a half years. On December 20, 2011, the ECHR ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, adding the Russian state to pay them compensation from 9 to 66 thousand euros, depending on the degree of damage incurred.

Recognizing the decision to hold the assault on the competence of the authorities of Russia, the court considered that officials who were responsible for his conduct violated the second article of the European Convention, guaranteeing the right to life.

"The rescue operation was not properly prepared, in particular, due to the insufficient exchange of information between various services, late for the beginning of evacuation, the lack of proper coordination of the activities of various services, the lack of adequate medical care and medical equipment at the site of events, as well as unsatisfactory logistics," said in the decree of the ECHR.

In addition, the judges indicated, the Russian authorities violated the rights of victims, without conducting an effective investigation into the actions of law enforcement agencies during the storming of the building.

In July 2012, the lawyer of the victims Igor Trunov filed a petition to the Investigation Committee of Russia and holding a new investigation. The answer has not yet been received.

One of the indirect consequences of the Drama "Nord-Ost" was the exile from the NTV television channel led by Boris Yordan.

After the death of the "Kursk" submarine, the Paris newspaper Figaro called the reputation and political future of Vladimir Putin "Another victim of the crash."

French journalists were judged by the standards of society in which they live. In Russia, crises and catastrophes have not weakened, and Putin's power strengthened, giving an excuse for further "screwing nuts". For the "Kursk" followed the restoration of the state control on the first channel, behind Beslan - the abolition of the governor's elections.

The rumor that NTV showed at night in the live making to the storm, which could play on the hand of militants, turned out to be false. But Yordan did not interfere with journalists to say what they thought about what was happening, show the desperate relatives of the hostages, quote critical foreign comments and discuss alleged disagreements in the corridors of power.

As in other such cases, his resignation in January 2003 was officially explained by disagreements with shareholders on business issues, but observers had no doubt that the reason was the indication of the president.

In 2001, Yordan participated in the destruction of the "old NTV" headed by Vladimir Gusinsky and Evgeny Kiselev, but soon he was found not managed.

After the departure of Yordan, the canal has lost the balance of independence, and his corporate face was made by the series about bandits and "cops" and ambiguously perceived by the Company "Journalistic Investigations" about the Russian opposition.

Unlucky project

Right holder illustration Ria Novosti. Image Caption. "Nord-Ost" - one of the largest and most unlucky project in the Russian show business

"Nord-Ost" was considered the first Russian musical world-class musical and a major event in the cultural life of the country.

Preparation of the performance on the novel by Veniamin Cavery "Two Captain" began in 1998. Directors of George Vasilyev and Alexey Ivashchenko were in danger in the company Cameron Makintosh, who settled in London "rejected", "Cats" and "Ghost Opera".

For unique in the complexity of the scenery created by the artist Zinovyiy Margolin (the airplane in the scene is a genuine magnitude and opened by ice-skinned turntable, in the center of which there was a nose of sunken schooners) The theater center on Dubrovka was subjected to special reconstruction, which turned it into the theater of one performance.

The creators of Nord-Ost were calculated on his long life and a large commercial success (London and New York musicals often live in 20-30 years), but the tragedy in October 2002 put the cross on the project.

After repairing the hall, the performance resumed. The organizers called it a symbol of the celebration of life and victory over terror, but many Muscovites said that they could not have fun "on the bones" or feel in the building. Accidental fear. On May 10, 2003, the last idea took place. Attempts to postpone putting in St. Petersburg or create a touring version with simplified decorations and a smaller number of actors did not have success.
