Beslan
- On September 1st, 2004 Beslan's Middle School Number One was siezed by armed militants. The siege lasted 3 days ending with a bloody shootout between the terrorists and Russian security forces. This crisis resulted in the death of 344 civilians, at least half of them being children. In the weeks following the Beslan terrorist attacks in Russia, the Russian Culture Club held a fundraiser, raising just under $500. The money that was raised was given to St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Church in Paterson, NJ. It was then sent to the head regional Orthodox Church in Stonrepol, Russia to aid the victims of this terrorist act.
