In any case, they hit! To suppress any desire to resist. And we must come to terms with this - Nikolai Fedorovich Ivanov continued his lecture. A colonel who served in Afghanistan, works as a journalist for both Chechen companies, and served 4 months in captivity...
I get off the bus and go to the Granit Hotel, I see two grooves driving along, accompanied by a car with special signals. I ran. I run to cut across the column. The escort car and the first slot pass without noticing me, but the second one opens the door for me on the move and I find myself inside.
So today I got to the educational and practical courses "Bastion". Where they teach journalists to survive in hot spots...
2. First there was a lecture. Nikolai Ivanov (left) and Gennady Dzyuba (organizer of the Bastion project) spoke in detail about the taking of journalists hostage. The lecture was interesting, I even took notes. They talked about what to do and what not to do when captured, how to dress in war, how to behave in captivity, about psychology, etc., etc.
They say that if you are not killed right away, it means you are needed and it makes sense to fight for life. And they told a lot more. I liked the idea that helps me sit in prison - The longer I sit, the closer the end is.) It doesn’t matter what, but the end.
3.And these are the same journalists from all over the Far East who are taught how to survive. Their carefree ride will soon come to an end, soon they will be thrown, kicked, dragged...
4. A gang of Marines has already settled in the ambush.
5.
6. It's hot. The first thing they do is blow up the armored personnel carrier at the head of the column.
7. Journalists are captured, thrown out of the prison, placed in piles on the ground, and bags are put on their heads.

24. Here they are dragging Fedor with the PTR... Ilya is enjoying himself and asks to take care of him.))
25.
26.They took everyone inside and threw them on the floor. It’s dark, damp, cool inside, and for some reason there’s a smoldering fire at the entrance, which makes it a little smoky.
27.
28.
29. Explosive packages exploded inside, causing everyone to freeze and for a long time only ringing could be heard in their ears...
30.
31.After a short captivity, prisoners began to be released
32.
33.A shaved Stas was also seen among those released. %)
34.After a week of communication between journalists and marines, the former will receive a certificate of completion of the Bastion courses.
35. Frankly speaking, the courses are very cool. I envied them.)
UPD: Damn, I forgot. I was still filming videos. Here's one of the first ones I came across. When watching, it becomes clear how natural everything was.
