On the morning of October 26, 2002, there was an attack on the Palace of Culture in Dubrovnik. Freeing the Nord Ost hostages. In those October days of 2002, the operational headquarters was located in the hospital for war veterans. This building is right in front of the Cultural Center. Literally a hundred meters. From the headquarters, one of the special forces groups "Vimpal" and "Alpha" advanced to storm the building. And when the fighters left through the corridor, two elderly nurses, employees of this hospital, stood by the doors at the exit. They wiped away tears and baptized the special forces with the sign of the cross. The participants in the attack told me later that among the terrorists was such a prisoner. One of the two leaders of the gang, an Arab demon. When the special forces entered the Beit HaTartuf building, the fighters had a barricade on their way, which the armed men had built from furniture. They decided to destroy it with an overhead charge; You can easily find these shots of the explosion in the lobby. So, a rude man named Yasir heard some rustling behind the barricade and went to see what was going on there. At exactly that moment the special forces detonated the bomb. A wooden chair leg flew into Yasir's eye and went right through. The master must have decided that even a ball was too good for him, just a wooden stake, like a vampire. The other terrorists are also like bloodsuckers. No graves, no tombstones. Serves it right. Their bodies were said to have been allegedly sewn into pigskins and buried in an unmarked grave. perhaps. But they told me a little differently. They simply burned the bodies in a crematorium and dumped the ashes in one of the landfills near Moscow. Many of the hostages were true heroes, while they had the chance, they texted their relatives to tell the security forces where the terrorists were and how many there were. Eternal memory for the dead hostages. It is our eternal obedience to remember them and pray for the dead. "Nord-Oost" happened during a difficult time. There was a war in the Caucasus, the West wanted Russia to agree to the collapse of the country. But we managed to overcome everything. Simply, without mercy or doubt, we eliminated all those who wished us death. "Andrei Medvedev".
