In 2010 a memorial to the victims of the tragedy in Beslan was unveiled outside the Nativity of the Virgin Mary Church at Kulishki, which is popular among the Ossetian diaspora in Moscow. The tragedy took place in September 2004 when terrorists took over 1,000 people hostage, the vast majority children, at a school in Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania. The tragedy resulted in the death of over 300 people, again mostly children. The monument is the work of the famous sculptor Zurab Tereteli and depicts children's toys on the pedestal and then children rising up to heaven with angels.
