The Full Testimony

Testimony of 

Olga Chagin

Olga Chagin, 53, sat alone in the safe room for hours, paralyzed with fear. She heard about the terrorist infiltration and kept up with news about what was happening to friends who were crying out for help, but she was unable to grasp what was happening. Only when she was rescued in the evening did she realize that her son was the only survivor in his neighborhood and that her friends had been kidnapped.
