there were people in grozny by the time the russians came. but mostly they were people who couldn't be moved: the elderly and handicapped. maybe 35,000. of course they were all "rebels," "terrorists," according to putin. they died almost to a person. but that was redundant. the russians had already emptied and destroyed the city, while trying to surround it and kill every young man in the region.
