Beslan. 8 years
Today marks eight years of the Beslan tragedy.
It is a green and pleasant city, received wide fame September 1, 2004, when in the Beslan school gymnasium №1 Ruslan Khuchbarov militants were captured over a thousand people. During the storm killed 334 civilians, the building of the gym almost burned, and the school was severely damaged.

In 2011, on the site of an abandoned school first began to build a memorial. Given that it is the airport in Beslan in North Ossetia, visit the scene of the tragedy, and the memorial complex "City of Angels" can be just a couple of hours - on the road from the airport to Vladikavkaz.
"City of Angels" is not far from the airport. Taxi drivers learn that you want to visit the cemetery and the first school is usually not indicated price fare - you can pay much feel comfortable. Moreover, as I wandered through the cemetery, the taxi driver were transported customers, and then came back and threw waited till school.
Without a taxi to find the first school as easy - it indicates any way in the maze of city streets. Gym first Beslan school - one of the most vivid symbols of the attacks of the 2000s.
City of Angels occupied the territory between the old cemetery and the road to the airport.
All the tombstones - in the same style. Only representatives of different faiths are turned in different directions.
The rear side of the tombstones are decorated by relatives.
Tree of Life - the central monument to the "City of Angels".
More than half of those killed in the assault were children, mainly in the lower grades.
Full list of the dead.
Khachkar of children in Armenia.
Before a full memorial did not get it. Now it's kind of like construction moved into the territory of the school.
Oldest first school occurs suddenly - the car was taxiing from the yards and buries in the memorial complex. On the other hand there is no entrances - either fences or railroad.
The project is the creation of an Orthodox church on the scene seems to be canceled, but fundraising for him continues.
The basis of the memorial - a symbolic wreath over the building burned down the gym.
Interestingly, on a rainy weekday, I was not the only visitor to the school - a pair of women in the form of local, hurriedly walked down the hall.

It is evident that the building began to strengthen. But the roof even after the reconstruction proceeds under the Caucasus showers.
Most of the walls given to children's portraits. Adults are placed in one corner.
On the Swedish side - notes and poems.
Sills - those that remained.
Center hall. Fatalities bring water bottles as hostages suffer from thirst.
Board from the ceiling of the building in some places blocked the windows.
Out - the shot site gym.
Panorama gym to exit positions.
Go into the school building itself seems to be forbidden. No plaques-ban labels, but no. So - we need only to climb over low sills of the first floor (standard for the evacuation of children) - and the school is available.
Chernobyl recall, yes.
The wall opposite the window overlooking the gym. Here most of bullet holes.
Perhaps these billboards carried the body and the wounded.
Second floor. It is seen as finish building a new roof. After the reconstruction of the school plan to make a memorial museum.
The windows of the first floor took off (this indignant press wrote after a visit of officials to the first of September), the second - did not have time.
. It is out of the windows of the second floor is best seen memorial wreath-fence.
In the most remote corner of the building suddenly discover plaques.
In general, the school looks neat, if I may use such a word to the destroyed buildings - everywhere swept, no debris and the more traditional public toilets abandoned buildings. Although according to the local 2011go are often seen addicts, homeless people and dogs.
Reconstruction really saves memory space, which is good.
