March 22 marks the first anniversary of the inhumane terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.

It killed 145 people and injured 551. It was the largest terrorist attack in Russian history in terms of casualties since the hostage taking at School No. 1 in Beslan in 2004.

On March 22, 2024, at 19:55, before a concert by the rock band Piknik, several armed terrorists entered the Crocus City Hall building, shot the guards, and moved toward the concert hall, killing everyone in their path. They set the hall on fire and left the scene of the crime, heading in a waiting car toward the border with Ukraine.

Thanks to the prompt actions of law enforcement agencies, 11 suspects were detained the next day, including the perpetrators of the terrorist attack. As of January 2025, 27 defendants have been charged. On March 7, another criminal was detained in the United States, who admitted that he had trained the perpetrators of this terrorist attack.

A graduate student of the Institute of Information Systems of the State University of Management, member of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps Matvey Ulyanov participated in the liquidation of the consequences of the fire in Crocus City Hall. Our other students organized donor trips to donate blood and cytoplasm to victims of the terrorist attack.

Today, the State University of Management remembers the shock and horror that we experienced on the evening of March 22 last year. We express our condolences to the relatives of all those killed and hope that none of us will ever have to experience anything like this again.

A grand opening of a memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack is planned for March 22, 2025, in front of the Crocus City Hall building.
