In Moscow, unknown vandals desecrated the monument to the children of Selan in Kitai Gorod. Unidentified people scattered children's toys and overturned water bottles brought by Muscovites to the memorial to the victims of attack in Selan on Kitai-Gorod, the media reported. The incident was filmed on November 2. The footage shows water spilling on the pedestal and steps, and toys and other memorabilia scattered around. A police report has been filed, said Deputy Prime Minister and senior representative of North Ossetia Igor Barskov. According to him, on behalf of the head of the republic, Sergei Menailo, steps are being taken to identify all those involved.
On social media, users suggest that the incident involved groups of young people gathering in the Kiti-Gorod area. This version is not licensed. The monument to the work of Zorev Tzarti was opened on June 1, 2010 in the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Mary in Kolishki. Bottles of water remain in memory of the hostages who were denied water by terrorists for almost three days during the seizure of a school in Beslan in September 2004. 334 people were killed in attack, including 186 children.
