***
On Pervaya Okruzhnaya Street in the Oktyabrsky district of Grozny, near house 13, two corpses were recovered from a well from which condensate was previously pumped at a depth of 18 m. They were in such a state that it was impossible to identify them. All that was noticeable was that the clothes were warm and not camouflage. One corpse was wearing sneakers, the other had no shoes.

***
In the village of Chernorechye, near the building of a former dispensary, in which one of the federal forces units is based, four corpses of men were discovered. They died recently, as a result of violent death, as traces of torture were visible on their bodies.


From the book “People Live Here”, Usam Baysaev, Dmitry Grushkin, 2006.
