chechnya war conflict stories..

“it was unbearable. two crazy weeks and the most unbelievable story i ever did. i was with a russian special commando. they were torturing, killing and raping. i saw them do it, and i couldnt stop them. someone of a normal constitution cant accept that. i was working on the edge.

this is the morning after a night that left four men dead and 10 wounded. it was heavy fighting, and i was very afraid. i discovered a dead chechen four metres from me when i got up in the night. you see movies, you read books, you can imagine anything. but when you are in front of something, its not like the movies. we started out as 60 and came back 30, one in two people injured or killed. i was lucky.

as soon as it was light, i took pictures. this is the first thing i saw. the guy with the bandage on his head has lost his friends. he has fought all night long. i dont feel pity, but at the same time they took me with them and did everything to protect me. without them, i couldnt have done the story. i was the only witness. its very complicated.”
