<Furthermore, I found it horrifying that the Russians were more concerned to keep the agent a secret than to mention to the doctors what a possible antidote could be. As you know, all 120+ hostages, except one, died from this substance being sprayed into the ventilation system of the theatre.>

Does this not taint of experimentation seeking results?
How many times have we heard of certain agents being used
in somewhat demanding situations which left their own forces with bad side effects. This gives them the opportunity to study the effects first hand over a length of time. They can get a few people for experimentation but a large group would give more conclusive results.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but was not the Gulf war one of those cases? So many came back with side effects and the snipper was one of them from what I have read.
So now the Russians will have a complete study on a large number of people as to the effect, long and short term, of how this gas works.
