Chechnya asks Putin to help to find three thousand lost persons
 
The authorities of Chechnya are preparing an application to the president of Russia with a request to help to find three thousand missing residents of the Republic, the newspaper "Gazeta" informs.

Tuskharoi lies at the very top of the mountain. Fifteen years ago, a 90-year-old old man named Alauddin lived here next to a family of Chechen herders, who had left behind good jobs in the Baltic port of Kaliningrad to resettle in their ancestral village.
