	David Satter on Russia & Chechnya on National Review Online
		The outcome of the Budyonnovsk crisis was regarded as shameful by many in the Russian leadership but it led ultimately to the end of the first Chechen war and to the fact that 1996-99 was a period in which no Russian soldiers died fighting Chechen guerillas.
		According to some estimates, nearly 100 persons have died because of the ineffectiveness of the rescue effort once the gas was used, leading to the inevitable conclusion that, for the Russian authorities, the overriding objective was to destroy the terrorists.
		In the Moscow theater crisis, Putin demonstrated his oft stated intention to "wipe out the terrorists in their outhouses." The consequences of the theater crisis for Russia and the world, however, may become increasingly serious.

	Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
		The Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis was an incident from 14 June to 19 June 1995, when Chechen separatists led by Shamil Basayev seized a hospital in the southern Russian city Budyonnovsk and took over 1,500 hostages.
		They issued an ultimatum threatening to kill the hostages unless their demands, including an end to the Chechen war and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya, were met.
		On June 19, most of the hostages were released, and Basayev's band, under cover of 120 "volunteer" hostages, departed for, and uneventfully reached, the Chechen town of Zandak.

		The Moscow theatre hostage crisis in Oct. 2002 is something of an exception.
		In opposition to that you have, say the Supreme Court of Justice Hostage Crisis in 1993 in Costa Rica where the hostages were freed through negotiation and the hostage takers were captured.

	Russia's War on Chechnya - Mises Institute
		The Moscow hostage crisis ended in a way one might expect, through massive violence inflicted by a state that has little regard for human life and an intense focus on displaying power.
		In fact, there is little or no evidence linking any of the apartment bombings to "Chechen terrorists." General Aleksandr Lebed, who was one of the most popular candidates for the Russian presidency but conveniently died this year in a helicopter crash, believed that the so-called "terrorist bombings" were actually fabricated by the Kremlin itself.
		Powerful politicians often believe that they can personally benefit by being seen to be solving a crisis of this magnitude, even when the real source of the crisis is the prior actions of the state itself.
