Horseshit. The Russians dropped leaflets warning civilians to leave.

The

---
I doubt chem/bio, though it's possible.
Using heavy artillery on fortified urban positions is the only way to take
fortified urban positions without massive casualties on your side, esp.
since the Russian Army is mostly composed of nearly untrained conscripts.

Mass executions and burning of alive people

---
Certainly possible. But that was 1999-2000. This is 2003. Conflict is in a
completely different stage. You are probably unaware of the fact.

---
No. Mop-up operation are conducted by conscripts.
---

----
!!!!!!!!! Hyperbole stands for itself. Most Chechens aren't even in
Chechnya.

by using arms of mass

---
There has been no starvation, cold or epidemic.
---
According to the data of the

---
Mainly because the Ingush, where they are living, don't like them. Not that
I suspect that you know what the Ingush are.
---
Those lucky who managed to get to Moscow or other Russian
>regions face other problems. Chechens are denied employment, lodging,
---
Yes, because of vicious anti-Chechen prejudice caused by the Chechen slave
trade, which, I notice, you have never mentioned.
---
children are not allowed to school.
---
False. Chechen children outnumber Russians in the Yugo-Zapadnaya
neighborhood of Moscow, which is Chechnya Town.
---
They can be detained at

---
Yes. Usually what happens, though, is that they pay the cop a bribe of $5 or
so if they don't have Moscow registration.

Come on. They pay a $20 bribe.
