Nord-Ost: Russia's Medical Failure in the 2002 Crisis
Abstract
The 2002 hostage crisis at a Moscow theater transfixed the attention of the world. While the initial assault, led by Spetsnaz commandos, successfully secured the building, the Russian security force's utter failure at coordinating with medical services led to the preventable deaths of over 100 hostages.
