Five years later, Azamat Totiev told the Channel 1 journalist about what he had experienced in the hall of the Beslan school: “I was sitting with a friend, a classmate. They threw a grenade next to us. I don’t know how it happened, but there was a soldier next to us and he threw himself on a grenade. He died, but he saved our lives.”
