In 1986, Hezbollah (Party of God) kidnapped 4 Soviet diplomats in Beirut Lebanon. Hezbollah leader demanded Russia to stop shelling rival Muslim positions in Syria. But “Mikhail Gorbachev” a Russian leader ignored these demands.
Hezbollah then killed one hostage, Russian Security took action after that – KGB (Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti). KGB in English (Committee for State Security) a Soviet Union agency kidnapped the Hezbollah leader’s relative. Hezbollah is a radical, pro Iranian group has been suspected of various terrorist activities against the Western people in Beirut Lebanon.

After killing one of the relative of Hezbollah leader (KGB) sent the body to the Hezbollah leader with a tag “Would lose other relatives in a similar fashion if the three remaining Soviet diplomats were not immediately release”. And the Hezbollah leader quickly responded to the KGB agency by releasing the 3 remaining Russian diplomats.
This is the way Russian goverment handle such situations.
