The capture of the hospital in Budyonnovsk in 1995 was the largest terrorist attack in the world. Almost 2000 civilians were taken hostage, including children, babies, women, old people ... They spent many days in a besieged hospital. They died from bullets and shrapnel, went crazy with fear. The result - 129 dead, 415 wounded. And thousands of crippled destinies not included in the official statistics.
For the first time terrorists put forward political demands. For the first time they declared themselves as a force that opposes the whole state. And for the first time our state succumbed to this force. How could this happen? Who made the key decisions? Was it possible to neutralize the terrorists without endangering the lives of the hostages? The author, an officer of the Alpha special forces and a participant in those events, conducted his own investigation. He met with the locals. With hostages and operatives. With Russians and Chechens. I traveled to Chechnya to find and question those who fought on the other side. He interviewed generals and ex-ministers, those who gave orders and those who carried them out. And he discovered that there was a real plan to avoid a tragic outcome. And perhaps stop the emerging epidemic of terrorism in Russia. Why was a different path chosen and who is responsible for the Budyonnovsk tragedy? The answers are in the pages of this book.
