Pravda defends Russia's use of gas to end hostage crisis GaZeTa published the opinion of an intensive therapy doctor, director of a narcological clinic Irina Voyevodskaya. The doctor maked her conclusions based on the symptoms of poisoning of the hostages. "Judging by some features, the gas belongs to a definite group of substances that are harmless for people under regular conditions. The gas likely contained valium or seduxen, which are really harmless substances. The gas has an effect in closed rooms. It has rather a soporific and not hallucinogenic effect. It influences only the part of the brain that is responsible for breathing. When people leave the room where the gas is spread, the effect considerably reduces".
