Teenager Nikita, a former hostage, dreaming about a shower and a toothbrush

On Saturday Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Sklifosovsky Scientific and research ambulance institute in Moscow where he talked to former hostages delivered there.

The Russian President visited several wards. In one of them the head of the state spoke with a rescuer who assisted to evacuate hostages.

In another ward the President talked to a teenager aged 15-16 by the name of Nikita.

During the conversation with the President Nikita stated that he was frightened. Presently his major wish was "to wash himself and to brush his teeth." A spectator aged approximately 30 years occupied the bed next to his. He stated that he was not frightened. The young man stated that "there was a feeling that the terrorists have got no future." The President wished everybody whom he talked to recover quickly.

According to personnel of the hospital, former hostages delivered to the Sklifosofsky institute were provided with necessary medical assistance.
