The opening as it read in 2005
Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis was an incident in June 1995 when Chechen separatists led by Shamil Basayev seized a hospital in the city of Budyonnovsk and took over a thousand hostages . The hostage-takers 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. After several days, Russian forces tried to storm the hospital compound, meeting fierce resistance. After 48 hours of fighting which cost the lives of over 100 hostages, a ceasefire was agreed on and 227 hostages were released. A second Russian attempt to take control of the hospital failed. In the end, the remaining hostages were freed and the fighters were allowed to return freely to Chechnya.1
