The images of war seem forgotten – Chechnya has vanished long ago from the headlines of the Western press.
The traces of the years of military conflict with Russia have all but disappeared in the capital of Grozny,
which boasts new promenades, modern high-rises and blinding street lights.
The surface is shiny, but pain is still rooted deep in the people’s souls.
A country that’s about to forget its past and that’s full of monuments to its President Kadyrov and, next to him, Vladimir Putin.
