11 years ago, the name of the small Ossetian town of Beslan became world known. On September 1st a terrorist group captured 1128 people during the opening ceremony of the school. Children, their parents and school № 1 staff were kept in inhumane conditions for two and a half days. On September 3rd a chaotic offensive started, resulting in the elimination of the terrorists and freeing of the hostages. But not everyone was saved. 186 children did not return home from school. In total, including rescue workers, 333 people were killed and over 800 were injured with varying degrees of severity. In the center of Moscow the victims of this terrible tragedy were commemorated.
