and most importantly a model is a very sensitive. child at the time for a vote i never thought the siege was just part of the show and was not scared at all she was also the only person in the theater who was not afraid to talk to the terrorists varvara was not frightened because she didn't understand who the armed men were told what they wanted. this is the cafe so there was a huge amount of sweets and candies there and they had to do something about it to the women who are with the terrorists who were giving me or a fellow sweets ever since then if someone buys me a box of them i can eat it all up and so five minutes i just love them. recalls the tragic story of nor doest thinks of it as a childish affair. and elder sister for whom it was a terrifying ordeal. when you come wall some are scared some

possesses her personal drama and experience despite her young age. because of this she has some kind of mystery about her that you always feel in her and all of her roles. but. alexandra says her view of the world changed after the terrorist attack after enduring the hellish siege she realized the people are actually much stronger than they think there is huge hidden potential that they must try to see in themselves. sometimes we think the obstacles that are in our way are impossible to overcome and we want to give in and whine all day long. yes of course it's easier to do that than to collect yourself and believe that you can overcome everything. i think the obstacles should not be treated as dead ends but rather as new

opportunities. those are overturned is for growth. for breakthroughs for moving on from becoming stronger and wiser. yeah i didn't say grade loudest because i knew we were going somewhere but mom wasn't one of the terrorists said the younger children are in crying worry you i gave her a lot of books of referrals sweets she was only five so she snatched them and she said i'm hiding these now i'll get them later please don't touch them then it was scary because the guy pointed his gun at her. on the second day of the siege a militant came up to you both come in the. go on the youngest girl free well let her go. i obeyed and raised my younger one in the

air showing her to the other terrorists on the first floor and then he said they were going to take her and i told him i had two girls and that i could not only one of them go i thought that as my older daughter was nine already she would say at least what their names were. mark. nine hundred ninety eight zero five five one four two five. the terrified mother wrote phone numbers on her daughter's clothes so that their eldest could contact their relatives after they'd been set free. a few years after the tragic events. gave birth to a daughter they named her cats. after the main character in the nord-ost musical. four years later she had a son use of it's no coincidence that he shares this name with the famous russian singer yosef comes on who was brave enough to face the terrorists and take the

children from the captured building. together the kernel of pay a visit to their savior. hello can't you give him a hug. which. was yours so kind if it's for you know. you will i love you too. i didn't know these babies were so small and this one was not even born or. the terrorist abu barker told them to lead out the youngest children the armed group picked three there was also a girl from another family so they picked three girls and varvara buried her face

in my jacket in craning our mom stayed behind so. i took off my coat and covered them that the girls who were older. then they said barker why do you need a mother without children and why give me children without their mother. he looked at me and said ok give them their mother. you didn't say mother he said mama i remember it very well it's such a beautiful work. concerns office resembles a kindergarten while adults are talking the children they're having fun and looking at the singer's awards but the biggest reward for years of concern is his god son little yourself. because it isn't much of a life for a life you must deal with that's really it i couldn't think of anything else i had no other assumptions really once we were told it was

a boy i decided to ask for permission to give him this name. because this name is proud. of the world. stream days after the siege began special mt teraflops is brought to the theatre under control before the assault a special sleeping gas was come to inside the building and then shots followed the hostages were taken to city hospitals but unfortunately the emergency services could not save her life. at the hospital i had only one question what is going on assault assault and they told me yes it's an assault and i started trembling with fear i didn't realize that

i wasn't inside the building anymore then of course i regain consciousness and. research on my relatives. who were next to me. and this was real happiness just. this may be just a grain of sand compared to the whole of humanity and even to russia however it affected a lot of people i'm sure they will all remember about what happened until the day they die this story will be passed on from one generation to another as a tragic page in the history of any family. alexander's mother takes her to school the girl is in third grade now she usually sits at the front of the class like a model student. take their piece of paper with the little mermaid on it and
