The European Court of Human Rights has closed to the public the trial on the suits by the victims of the October 2002 terrorist act at the play Nord-Ost at the theater center in Dubrovka, in Moscow, at the insistence of Russia, which promised to provide a detailed account of the freeing of the hostages there, to reveal the formula of the gas used to narcotize those inside the theater and the names of the special operations agents involved in the action. Surviving audience members and relatives of those killed at the theater will make material claims against Russia at the trial

Anna Politkovskaya, who was one of the few people permitted inside the building during the standoff, was responsible for a final act of kindness for many of the ostages.
"She was in the United States, receiving another accolade. And the Chechen terrorists insisted that Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaya be brought to act as an intermediary," Karpova says. "She immediately dropped everything. Of course she flew there right away. She convinced the Chechen terrorists to at least let water and juice be brought into the theater.

Happiness is a philosophical concept, and every family has its own happiness. Happiness in our family was Sashenka.” So wrote her aunt, Roza Ishchenko. Look at the Memorial Book, reader. Look at the bright face of this little girl who will forever remain 13. The face of a little girl, who, perhaps, while still alive, was tossed onto the steel floor of a medical service UAZ van by her so-called rescuers, and then covered by the bodies of 12 other hostages.
The face of a little girl, for whose death old men received medals.
The face of a little girl who will never grow up.
Bright is her

TNord-Ost’, unlike Beslan, is almost an uninvestigated act of terror. Beslan took place in the Caucasus, while ‘Nord-Ost’ was in Moscow. Sitting hostage in the gymnasium of School #1 were relatives and friends, while in the theater auditorium at Dubrovka were scattered pieces of society, after which many of them, at least those who made it, once again took off in all directions.In Beslan there were families and clans demanding an investigation, while only a few people have been stubbornly beating themselves bloody against the wall, demanding an inquiry: ‘Nord-Ost’ committee chairman Tatiana Karpova, Svetlana Gubareva, and lawyer Karinna Moskalenko.
In principle everyone knows evhe investigation will go no farther

As became known yesterday, the investigation into the circumstances of the terror act in the theatrical center on Dubrovka in Moscow, where 125 persons died, has been brought to a stop. The formal reason for this was the impossibility of determining the whereabouts of two of the terrorists’ accomplices – Gerihan Dudayev and Hassan Zakayev. In the investigators’ resolution to suspend the case, it was noted that the organizer of the terror act was Shamil Basayev, who died from his own carelessness and not as a result of an FSB special operation. Igor Trunov, who represents the victims, intends to appeal the resolution.
In the case concerning the seizure of almost a thousand hostages at the musical ‘Nord-Ost’ in 2002, the presence of Gerihan Dudayev and Hassan Zakayev (they were presented as defendants in their absence and are on the international ‘wanted’ list
