Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, fell victim to Russia’s powerful military attacks, all led by President Vladimir Putin.
The bombardment against this city was so strong that the civilian deaths were never counted and the United Nations described this city as “the most destroyed in the world”.

A journalistic work published by The clarin reveals that most analysts say that Russia’s current war with Ukraine is “a one-man war.” They also point to Vladimir Putin, 69, as the person responsible.
They also explain that the ultrasonic missiles that Russia and the United States possess are so fast that they manage to destroy the borders of the countries they are facing in minutes.
What happened in Grozny?
The first war between Russia and the Chechen Republic broke out in 1994 and ended in 1996 with the victory of the Chechens. However, the Russians did not sit idly by, as the worst was yet to come, reveals the work published by The clarin.
In October 1999, Vladimir Putin demonstrated why Russia is the champion in the use of artillery weapons and went to cannonades that were installed on strategic hills around Grozny.
The Russian infantry was divided into small groups, but very well armed even with missiles. The weapons wore down the Chechen fighters, who had to hide in cellars to resist the attack. They also caused heavy losses among civilians.
At least five injured after strong explosion in the capital of Chechnya
Many people managed to flee, but the elderly, poor and sick remained in Grozny, who died between the bombs, hunger and cold.
At that time it became known that four thousand rebels who tried to flee through the southwest were killed by Russian heavy artillery. Several Chechen chiefs died between the explosions of the mines and the gunshots of the Russian artillery. It was the last great battle.
On February 6, 2000, the Russian flag was raised in the center of the Chechen capital. President Putin announced that the city had been liberated and that the military operations had come to an end. (I)
