Putin Kneels To Pay Tribute To Beslan School Massacre Victims, 20yrs Later (Pix) by WriterNig: 7:32pm On Aug 20


🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday visited the North Caucasus city of Beslan ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Beslan school siege, the deadliest terror attack in modern Russian history.

On Sept. 1, 2004, armed militants from Chechnya took more than 1,100 people hostage at Beslan School No. 1 in the republic of North Ossetia, holding them captive until Russian troops stormed the school building two days later. By the end of the storming, 334 hostages including 186 children had been killed, as well as 31 militants.

A video released by the Kremlin showed Putin laying flowers, kneeling and crossing himself at the City of Angels memorial cemetery in honor of the victims.

Putin was then shown laying flowers at the monument dedicated to the Federal Security Service (FSB) special forces fighters who stormed School No. 1.

A video published by the state-run TASS news agency showed a helicopter hovering in the distance as Putin arrived at the empty memorial cemetery.

He also toured the school for the first time since the massacre, according to TASS. He was seen laying flowers and lighting a candle on school grounds, which the Kremlin said was converted into an “international cultural and patriotic center for the prevention of terrorism.”

Later during his visit, Putin met with several mothers of those who died in the Beslan attack.

“Attempts were made from the west to not only justify the terror attack in Beslan but also to provide all sorts of help to the terrorists,” the Kremlin leader said without naming any countries or entities specifically.

“These people have no morals or principles, they have only their interests,” he added, sitting opposite three women from the Mothers of Beslan group. “Russia defeated terrorists in the Caucasus, and it will defeat neo-Nazis committing crimes in the Donbas and Kursk region.”

Say whatever makes you feel alive, Putin will still be the man.
You can't take anything away from the man with steel balls, which weighs more than several tonnes of the West and NATO combined.

It was terrorists that stormed their school and took them hostage. So Putin did what Putin does: send in tanks and bombs and missiles and soldiers and batons and riffles and pistols and bombs (did I mention that before?) and kill everything in sight.
