The Deportation of Chechens

In the frosty morning on February 23, 1944, all adults (there were few men, the war was still on) were summoned to the places of mass assembly: clubs, schools, town and village squares. That was the Red Army Day and, being still unaware, people were in a festive mood. But the blasphemy of Soviet authorities was so jesuitical that the state holiday was used as a pretext for the bloody crime. So, the monstrous action began with perfidy and meanness. Across the whole territory of Checheno-Ingushetia, against the background of machine-guns, the decree-sentence about the deportation of Chechens and Ingushs was announced. Then a 100,000 strong contingent of specially trained for such actions Russian soldiers began breaking into houses of the peaceful, unprotected and armless Chechen and Ingush population. Victims of these barbarian actions were given only 10-15 minutes to get ready! After that all those who were unable to quickly obey the order, i.e. weak elderly, children and women were forced outside, the ill were thrown down from hospital beds. Any manifestation of resentment was punished with death! An attempt to escape - execution! Misunderstood order - execution! All orders were given in Russian, although many Chechens did not understand it….http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/

Comment: No wonder the Chechens are fighting hard to be free. Sometimes, the world is too kind to everything except Muslims around.
