Alexander Sokolov, an eyewitness to the raid on the White House in October 1993, said: “Lente.ru”It was learned that the snipers who fired from the rooftop of the opposite building used tracer cartridges for an unknown reason. The man, then a member of the medical team, observed and studied in detail the events of September-October of that year.
“I saw it: They shot the pursuers in two places from the attic, so it was more of a psychological thing,” he said.
According to Sokolov, it poses a mystery as to why such ammunition is fired.
He also suggested that the shooter was unlikely to be a professional, perhaps just a machine gunner picking up a gun.
“I saw how snipers work in Tbilisi, it is completely different, a sniper usually has fun, he can shoot in front of a civilian or chase a dog to scare him,” the eyewitness added.
Previously Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov statedHe said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planned to make a speech on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the attack on the White House (Government House of the Russian Federation in Moscow).
In October 1993, the building of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation was raided in Moscow and the building was bombed with tanks. The internal political conflict arose from the conflict between Russian President Boris Yeltsin and opponents of the socio-economic policy of the president and the government. On October 3, the cordon around the Assembly of Soviets in Moscow was broken, a group of armed supporters of the Supreme Council seized the Moscow City Hall building and attempted an armed attack on the Ostankino television center. On October 4, the Congress of People’s Deputies and the Supreme Council were dispersed by troops brought to the capital.
