Battle of Grozny (1994–95)
On the Meiji Japan and post-Soviet Russia map as “Grozny’s civilians”
Dec 1994–Mar 1995 — Russian forces take the Chechen capital by artillery and air bombardment. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed in Grozny that winter, many of them older ethnic Russians with nowhere to go. Estimates for the whole 1994–96 war run from about 35,000 to 100,000 deaths.
