Brief introduction of Dagestan incident

Since 1990, some illegal militants in Dagestan began to engage in terrorist activities. In the following 20 years, ethnic conflicts and separatist activities occurred from time to time in the Republic. One of the most serious incidents happened in Pieske in May 2002. At that time, at the parade site commemorating the victory of World War II, 20 people were killed and more than 100 people were injured by an explosion attack made by illegal armed forces.
