The collection includes memoirs of people who survived the Chechen war. The book presents different stories: young people and adults, Russians and Chechens, military, journalists, human rights defenders. Each of them talks about his vision and attitude to what happened, his truth, which helps the reader to see the same events from different points of view. The publication is intended for a wide range of caring readers, but it can be especially useful for young people who are just beginning to be interested in the Caucasus, the problem of the war in Chechnya, issues of memory and peacemaking.
