LETTER FROM MOSCOW: Will Putin's Power Play Make Russia Safer?
(2 of 2)
In Beslan the mood swings from grief to talk of vengeance. A committee of teachers from school No. 1 has compiled a list of the 1,380 people who were in the school at the time of the siege--a number far higher than the government's published estimate. Meanwhile, survivors are still dredging up new fragments of their ordeal. Olga, 7, a girl who managed to escape the gymnasium where much of the carnage took place, now tells her father in bursts of panic, "Give me something to drink, even urine." For some, the child's horror is only the latest episode in a tragedy without end. "What happened in Beslan in three days has been happening here for years," says a veteran of the Chechen wars who lives in Grozny. "We have no tears left to cry."
