The article overlooked mentioning that for years afterwards, the Estonian Red Cross sponsored all expenses paid holidays to an Estonian summer camp for scores of Beslan children and their carers. Just thought someone might like to know.

A disgusting EU and US sponsored terrorist attack and the EU's statement afterwards was beyond contempt and flat out refused to have an investigation to connections/links to groups overseas in Europe especially Bosnia because they knew there was an international connection and network in Europe because they created it. Although they had plenty to say when Putin changed the regional electoral laws in response spearheaded by this clown in the Czech Rep. .

Johnx - spot on! Worst of all the US,Britain, NATO and EU are still carrying out their Polish plan for subversion and terrorist attacks in Russia to try to destabilise it. The Blood of these children is on their hands!

Even over the death of little children, Our dear Estonian friend just cant help promoting Estonian image. Have some dignity.

I don't promote images, Sam - I simply state realities. Including ones which do not fit typical Russian biases. I leave the image business to contributors like yourself, Alex and some others.

I stood amazed when this atrocity unfolded. The Western sponsored media blatantly accused Russia for the suffering of these poor children even before the attempted rescue. Then and there, the Western media (especially Australian SBS) stopped existing for me! Somehow I can see them all enjoying themselves in the suffering of the Beslan children. The Beslan slaughter was an orchestrated and well-planned attack on Russia.

@ marzipan Do you promote the image of Estonia?

Sam, I promote facts about Estonia relating to matters where Russian sources have promoted misinformation. My posts do not concern image, but substance. People can formulate their own image in their minds, as they wish.
