The Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis is a terror attack from 14 June to 19 June 1995, when a group of about 50 Chechen separatist fighters led by Shamil Basayev attacked the southern Russian city Budyonnovsk near Chechnya.
Many of the former hostages suffer from various forms of psychological wounds and traumas, and are being treated at a new facility in Budyonnovsk.
Reacting to the perceived inept handling of the hostage situation, the lower house of the Russian parliament, the Duma, voted 241 to 72 in favour of an expression of no confidence of the government led by Viktor Chernomyrdin.
