VIDEOS FROM CHECHNYA
| Most of these pictures have been taken during the very last days of 1999, while Western countries, although a little bit scared by Millennium Bug, were getting ready for a shining New Millennium's Eve. At the same time, in Chechnya and in neighbouring Ingushetia districts, several thousand of Chechen civilians were being heavily pounded by Russian artillery, forced to leave their towns and villages (only to find them in rubbles, as those who came back most ofted did), or confined in refugee camps floating over mud and snow. Unless they opted for arguably more confortable icy train carriages, standing still as rocks on dead railway branches. Now, how did YOU enjoy New Millennium's Eve? |
