September 1 is not only a holiday of knowledge for Russians, but also a day to commemorate the victims of what was probably the worst terrorist attack in Russian history. On that day in 2004, a group of armed militants stormed a celebratory assembly in the North Ossetian city of Beslan School No. 1. For three days they held more than 1,000 hostages, most of them children, in the school's hot, sun-drenched gym room without food or water.
For three days the Russian authorities flatly refused to negotiate with the terrorists, even though they were ready and waiting for it. The Kremlin's decision cost Beslan 333 lives. For Russia, it was the price of freedom.
How did the FSB miss the terrorist attack? Why didn't the operational headquarters let negotiators into the school? What happened to the journalists who tried to help resolve the conflict? And most importantly, why did the president, his advisers, generals, and ministers decide to launch this bloody, ruthless assault, which resulted in such terrible losses?
Find out the answers to the questions in the new episode of Pavel Kanygin's "Rasbory" (Explainers).
