Ivan Sukhov: Russia refuses to remember its own history
People hold a banner on September 3, 2014 and light some of the 334 candles arranged to spell \"Beslan\", during a remembrance of the dead children in St. Petersburg.
For Russia, 2014 was marked by several dates that nobody wants to remember. December saw 20 years since the first war in Chechnya. In August, 15 years had passed since the start of the Second Chechen War. And finally, September marked 10 years since the Beslan hostage crisis.
