Mass Grave Uncovered in Chechnya
July 4th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

mass grave in chechnya.

Source: memorial.ruA

mass grave containing the remains of some 300 people has been uncovered at an asphalt plant in the Republic of Chechnya. As the Kommersant newspaper reported Thursday (RUS), the site dates from the Second Chechen war, and likely contains civilian victims of an attack by Russian forces.

Russia has led two wars against separatists in the region, and both sides have targeted and killed civilians. Russian troops have been accused of a systematic campaign of torture and “disappearances,” a charge the defense ministry denies.

In recent years, major fighting has died down, although eruptions of violence and attacks on the armed forces continue periodically.

Nurdi Nukhazhiyev, the Republic’s official human rights ombudsman, said the grave contained the bodies of refugee men, women and children shelled by Russian troops in October 1999. The refugees were traveling together in an attempt to leave Chechnya’s capital, Grozny, via a special “green corridor” opened to allow peaceful residents to flee areas of fighting.

“After completely destroying the convoy of refugees, the soldiers buried the corpses together with their vehicles and belongings in a big pit on the territory of the asphalt plant, which is located near the road,” Reuters quoted Nukhazhiyev as saying.

The grave was first discovered in 2000, but was never exhumed. Nukhazhiyev said he had petitioned Yury Chaika, Russia’s prosecutor general, to send an investigative team and establish a special laboratory to help identify the victims.

The announcement comes just over a week after another mass grave, containing some 800 bodies, was discovered in Grozny.

As many as 100,000 civilians are thought to have perished in the two conflicts. According to Nukhazhiyev, some 60 mass graves have been found throughout Chechnya.

So your point is Chechen rebels committed genocide? This is no secret any more than Turkey's many genocides are.

This is the old Russian and Soviet tactic of targeting a population in a land they want to procure or to keep within their "sphere of influence."

Sort of like the tactic they used against the Souix or the Comanche? It sure kept them within our "sphere of influence".

It is called progress (or civilization).
I suppose you oppose this?

Look at all the villagers from Serbia in mass graves at Srebrenica because of Bosniak terrorism.
I suppose Crimean Tatar is proud of this genocide as well.

What the Native Americans suffered was genocide. It was a time when the US government was barbaric and if I were alive then I would be appalled. And appalled we should be by the barbarism of the Putin government.

It was the Russian troops which commited extreme crimes executed in Chechnya, just like they did previously in Crimea, Ukraine, Ingushethia, Kazakhstan, Abkhazia, Circassia, Dagestan, and so on.

Mass graves in Chechnya

Dozens of mass graves containing at least hundreds of corpses have been uncovered since the beginning of the Second Chechen War in 1999. As of June 2008, there are reported to be 57 registered sites of mass graves in Chechnya.[1] According to Amnesty International, thousands of people are believed to be buried in unmarked graves with up to 5,000 civilians who disappeared since 1999 remaining missing.[2] The largest mass grave to date was found in 2008 in the capital Grozny, containing some 800 bodies dating back from the First Chechen War in 1995.[1]

Interesting information revealing the hidden talents of Russia, in terms of killing babies, women, children and unarmed civilians.

So if the government of the USA committed genocide we have no business "acting all holier than thou" around the world.
Agreed?
The Soviet Union no longer exists so the current Russian Federation has no ties to Stalin's artificial famine but Andrew Jackson was a Democrat operating under our current constitution so both african slavery and native american genocide "still stain this government's hands".

So the genociders should butt out of European affairs.
Agreed?

Russia most definitely is accountable for all its genocides including the Holodomor.

The Russian Empire and Soviet Union no longer exist. Perhaps you should "live in this century".
The same Canadian system which "ethnically cleansed" a continent is still in place. That should be more your concern, not "the internal politics of folks on the other side of the planet".

We need why_me's expertise in genetics to determine the ratio of mongul genes to chechen-aryan genes to solve the mystery of the mass graves.

Whatever you do, don't send those Finnish forensic teams in there unless they promise to submit their findings to the Arab League for approval prior to release.

You live in Turkey stay there. Stay out of Russian land. You were nomads and need to stay as nomads. You have no country if Russia says no. Not your land get it.

But Crimean Tatar has good reasons for wanting to be on Russian land, the Turks are genocidal maniacs.
It is certain no one chooses to stay there.
