The chief informant of the FSB was perplexed why in Moscow a radio station, which he clearly did not like in Moscow, works for foreign money.

The captivity of the Chechen formations incomprehensible to me I got almost one of the first among journalists. I spent almost five months in captivity - 146 days. Only relatives and colleagues-journalists in Chechnya and Moscow, but not official authorities, were engaged in search and liberation. Andrei Babitsky also tried to help me with his materials. By the way, they also wanted to exchange me. Only Andrei and I were in different situations.

Elmira Gurkina, a housewife over the years from the new system, I have not received anything. On the contrary, she lost the work of the programmer.
