- Extremism is an extreme form of aggression that can undermine the most reliable state and community. There are many such examples in the modern world. This disease of the 21st century can be cured only if we all unite and say this phenomenon “No”, -  said TSU Rector Vladimir Stromov.

The commemorative action takes place annually in Russia.

 On September 1, 2004, a group of terrorists seized 1,128 hostages in a school in the North Ossetian city of Beslan. As a result of the terrorist attack 333 people died, among them were 186 children.
