Our work is not politically partisan. Our digest neither duplicates
the Russian federal government's position nor advocates the positions
of Chechen militants. Rather, our purpose is to present as many news
sources as possible so that readers may form their own judgement. We
seek to attract the world's attention to the mass violations of human
rights in the conflict.


Antiwar Action in Moscow: Number of Participants of Antiwar
Demonstrations in Moscow is Each Time Greater

115 people, flying black and black-red flags, participated  in an
antiwar demonstration held on February 26, 2000 in  Moscow by the
