Downtown Grozny.
Summing up the situation unfolding in Chechnya over the past year, it is worth noting that diametrically opposite processes took place in that part of the North Caucasus.

In an article on Newsland.ru, Oleg Matveyev describes what happened in Grozny in 1957. After the 20th Congress of the CPSU, he recalls, "the rehabilitation of both individual citizens and whole peoples who had suffered in the years of lawlessness began,” often leading to unforeseen and uncontrolled developments (news.babr.ru/?IDE=91108). On January 6, 1957, Moscow issued a decree "on the restoration of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR within the RSFSR,” a measure that anticipated the ... >> full

Over 240,000 citizens of Chechnya are joblessAccording to the spokesman of the Chechen Ministry of Labour, in 2011 the emphasis in the fight on unemployment will be placed on development of small businesses.
