This publication will show you the capital of the Chechen Republic, the city of Grozny, before, after, at the time of the war and in our days. Grozny has had a long way to its prosperity..
On the image above: "Russian Federation. Chechen Republic" - as you can see the sign is seriously destroyed and it's actually why the war was inflamed - what did they wish to achieve? Check it out on the next image...
Across the network:
"Freedom or Death. Chechnya is a subject of Allah".
The conflict engendered since 1991, since autumn 1994 Russia began its attempts to remove that governance by the hands of opposition but it didn't work. Russian troops entered the city on December 31, 1994. They acted kind of hastily and the operation didn't even have a code name.
Federal forces tanks.
Bus station of the city located close to the square that people used to call "Minutka". It had different official names: in the Soviet time it used to be October square, since 1991 - Khruschev's square... "Minutka" means a minute - this is how long public transport was waiting for workers of the refinery.
Chechen separatists.
Almost at the same time - Russian internal troops on the city square.
They say that since 1996 to the 2000s here was a market of weapons where one could buy a gun rather cheaply.
On the image above - the Second Chechen War, February 4, 2000. First aid post.
Today that square is fully asphalted.
Another view.
Underground walkway.
The central axis of the city - former Lenin's avenue, currently A. Kadyrov's avenue meeting the avenue of Putin at the Mosque "The Heart of Chechnya".
All pre-war buildings on the square were demolished.
Late 1994, tank captured by the Chechen from pro-Russian figthers.
