The history of school N1 in Beslan, this not only bloody events during September 2004, when Putin bands from the flamethrowers and the tanks shot hundreds of ossetic children. This school hides other ominous secrets, about which keep silent Russian MEDIA, the Kremlin and the authorities of North Osetia.

 

The bloody history of Beslan School began not at all in 2004, but much earlier, in 1992 and the first hostages of this school, which they retained in the same gymnasium, were not Osetin, but ingushi.

 

The documentary history of the horrors of the concentration camp for ingushs, which was placed precisely in school N1 of Beslan, described on the pages of Ingush publication Ingushetia.ru, the living witness of those events, who was one of the prisoners of this concentration camp.

 

13 years ago the Beslan School N1 was concentration camp for ingushs

 

Story of the prisoner of the Russian- ossetic concentration camp of school N1 of Beslan Izmailov Bashir, born in 1975 in Grozniy (today Jokhar)

 

I was located in the hostages in osetin from 1 to 6 November, 1992, in the gymnasium of the school № 1 of Beslan. I was then 17 years old and I will never forget these events.

 

I was born and grew in Grozniy. My father died, when I was 12 years old and mother one brought up us and also two my brothers. In 1992 I graduated from school. Mom sent me into Nalchik to her cousin brother so that he would help me to enter into the university.

 

After falling through at the examinations, I continued to live in Nalchik at uncle, frequently visiting mom and junior brothers. On 1 November of 1992, I at regular time left into Grozniy on the voyaging bus Nalchik- Grozny. In the bus dispatch conversations, that began the war between Osetians and Ingushs that hardly will pass the bus into Grozniy, and etc.

 

Our bus they stopped in C. Beslan. Several men with the automata dropped in the salon; they were excited, shouted in poor Russian language, requiring documents to all passengers. As soon as they saw in the passport the nationality of ingush, immediately roughly pushed passenger out of the bus. I noted that they did not return to people passport, and in order to preserve my document, said that I hadn’t passport, but I was ingush. Then one of the men gripped me for the hand and began to drag to the output. From all the bus derived about 10 ingushs, among which there were two women with the children – at one breast child, at another - the boy of 4-5 years.

 

Around us was assembled the excited crowd of osetin. I focused attention, that not far stood one additional bus, from which also were derived the people. This bus was surrounded by the armed crowd and two militiamen attempted not to allow mob-law, actively arguing with the civil. I have remained the faith to the police and I hoped that these two militiamen will also focus attention on us. They did not come to us.

 

They offended us from the crowd, indicated that allegedly ingushs cuts osetin. Suddenly drove up white "six", from which jumped out two gunners. They with the cry "ingushs" snatched out one fellow of our group, they jostled him into the machine and left. "To the shooting", - explained they to one of our guards. All this time I received proceeding not entirely seriously.

 

The shabby bus drove up after a certain time. It astonished me that there were a total of several seats in it. They jostled us in it and lay on the floor, even women with the children. I remember, as one of them, that, which with the breast child, she cried and requested on the seat. They brought us into the building of school № 1 and drove in into the apartment of gymnasium. There has already been located about hundred and the more ingushs - men, women, children. Many of them were seized on the road "Rostov- Baku", passing through Beslan, when they went on the buses, in its own machines.

 

Nearer toward the evening brought 20 other ingushs. They explained that them removed from the aircraft, which arrived flying into the airport of Beslan from Moscow. I remember, as they said that osetin took away all money and gold articles, appropriated their luggage. There wasn’t chairs and toilet in the gymnasium. They did not feed us, did not give water to us. The guards constantly offended men, they caviled on any occasion.

 

In the evening, when small children began crying, one of the hostages, they called him Timur, he was also from Grozn, required that they let go the women with the children, or they led them into another apartment, where it is possible to nourish. In response to this requirement, one of 15 of our guards - round-faced short osetin began to shoot the automaton above the heads. It put in order another osetin, even he attempted to take away his automaton. Burn bullets into the wall and plastering crumbled. Round-faced by the accidental discharge shot through to itself foot, after which ran into more several armed osetin and both took away.

 

At night hostages allowed to leave on one into the toilet. However, neither water nor grain crops didn’t bring. It was especially pitiful for children. I fell asleep on the floor with great difficulty, hoping that tomorrow they will free us.

 

Next day began the more terrible events, which never will be erased in my memory. In the morning began to be dug in into the gymnasium the excited groups of people, as they were represented - militiamen, guardsmen. They roved on the gymnasium; they derived men and severely beat them. They selected young, strong. They thrashed Timur strongly. Especially many impacts brought in the head. Then, they selected about five fellows, I remember that one of them was Yandiev, which took in hostages in the airport, and they derived them on the street. Shots rang out. They shot them.

 

All time I was held with Timur and with the woman Leila from our bus, helping her to be conveyed with the breast child. And when two osetin with the automata approached to Timur, in order to derive him on the shooting (they shouted, that killed someone of osetin, and they should one more shoot), I was attacked on them with the cams and was obtained the strong blow by the butt of automaton on head. Other men also began to throw on armed osetin. Then they began to shoot at us at the support. They killed Timur and two boys, and wounded one elderly ingush on the name Bagaudin.

 

Osetins carried out three corpses, and Bagaudin, injured into head and breast, left on the floor. I could not look at his side, since for the first time saw the blood and killed in my life. Other hostages helped Bagaudin, they tied up wound, using as the bandage their own jackets.

 

Because of the impact by butt on head, I strongly felt sick. I asked one of the guards, which they called Taimuraz, to give me to leave into the corridor that I would not vomit to the floor. It accompanied me to the toilet. There I lost consciousness. I come to oneself in gymnasium. It seemed to me that passed much time, it occurs that passed only one hour from the moment of shooting in the hall. Injured Bagaudin died. Began to die the breast girl of leila.

 

The excited requirements of the elders ingushs to free Leila, osetins did not receive, especially mock one of them, proposing to suffocate girl – her will more easily die by it.

 

I was still in the shock from perfect murder of four ingushs on my eyes, among which on the misfortune proved to be my comrade Timur and for long could not arrive into the normal state. There were 17 children in the hall, at the age from 5 months to 11 years. It is necessary to note that besides the small, which cried, rest behaved with fortitude.

 

I gradually entered the contact with guard Taimuraz, who was older me for two years. He said, that ingushs attacked on osetin, that goes on the war and so forth. During the conversation with him, into the hall again broke the fifth-sixth osetins armed by automata with the cries and by abuse. They in a hurry began to select men among the hostages, tied them hands. Two of them approached me and pushed slightly to the group of those selected. Taimuraz entered for me, explaining to them, that I am still young. They began to be scolded with each other on the ossetic, but Taymuraz manage to repulse me. Three men were derived on the street and brought no longer. Taimuraz said me that they transported them to shoot and that he rescued to me life.

 

Second night I again could not fall asleep. In the morning I heard the moans of Leila, then were heard the cries of other women. Gradually the reason for the cries reached me: died Leila’s daughter and the women reckoned on entire hall. Turning away from each other also cried adult men. I hadn’t forces to react to that happening. I stood up and went to search for Taimuraz. On the duty were other guards, so I did not see more Taimuraz. Leyla - mother of dead girl, lost consciousness. In this terrible morning for the first time into the hall brought to us 20 loaves of bread and threw to the floor. Water they brought only nearer to the dinner - three buckets. Leila with the dead body of girl drove away somewhere and we did not see her since then.

 

On 4 November osetins drove away several women with the children, said that to the exchange. On 5 November from our hall they selected five fellows and drove away to the shooting. During the same day in the evening the gymnasium visited a high rank from Moscow - I remember that he called himself leader of some commission and he asked about content conditions. After this withdrawal into the gymnasium broke armed osetins and immediately took away ten fellows, among whom there was the student Barkinkhoev from Ordzhonikidze. They shot them and our guards complained to their elder leader, that the pier of hostages take away and shoot without lead of some other commander, more by the high rank, to which, as I understood, they all were subordinated.

 

For me hell ended on 6 November. During this day they derived all women and children from the school and they planted into the bus, which specially arrived from Nazran. Then visited militiaman and began to select other hostages in order to put into the bus. In spite of my protests, men selected me, considering me young and I proved to be in the number of those freed. Still remained about 70-80 hostages in the gymnasium, when I departed. Bus brought us into Nazran, to the central area.

 

Much time passed from this time. And I saw the place of my terrible captivity during the September of last year. City Beslan. School № 1. Gymnasium. That same, where I and hundreds of other Ingush hostages survived real hell.
