Remember the hostage incident at the Moscow theatre that year?

Do you still remember the hostage incident in Moscow Theater 19 years ago?

On October 23rd, 22, more than 4 Chechen kidnappers broke into the theatre of the Cultural Palace Building of Moscow Bearing Factory and held the hostages who were watching the musical.

barayev, the leader of illegal armed hostage-taking, demanded that Russia withdraw from Chechnya within one week, otherwise, he would detonate the cultural palace building of Moscow Bearing Factory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the door to negotiations is open, but his position on Chechnya remains unchanged.

After four days of stalemate and negotiation, the Russian hostage rescue team and the Chechen kidnappers finally failed to reach an agreement.

On October 27th, Putin ordered the special forces to use chemical gas to anesthetize all the people in the performance hall, and then stormed into the hall. Although most Chechen elements were annihilated, 129 hostages also lost their lives.

Every year in late October, a memorial service is held in front of the theater.

A singer is singing a sad song in front of the building: "My beloved ..."

Pictures of these dead people are posted on the wall of the theater. On the side of the wall are copper plates engraved with their names. There are countless flowers under the photo, and many citizens come with flowers one after another.

There was a lady slumped on the steps in front of the photo, staring blankly at something, with a pat on her back beside her. There are also several old people standing in front of the photos staring at one of them, standing for a long time without leaving.

Sitting on the bench in front of the building where the hostage incident happened, watching all this made my heart heavy. Think about what kind of fear, struggle, helplessness and anxiety these people experienced in those years.

After the incident, the Russian government built a church in front of the theater building, hoping that these helpless souls could rest in peace.

The dead can no longer be resurrected, but it is a warning to the living that we should cherish life and hard-won peace and happiness.

Looking at the church in front of me, I pray for these people and their souls to rest in peace. There are no terrorists in heaven.
