Первое интернет-соединение в Грозном, 1997 год

English/Nat Presidential elections in Chechnya are not the only step the tiny breakaway region is taking towards rebuilding. Cut off from the world for nearly two years during its fight for independence from Moscow, Chechnya is now doing its best to make contact with the West via the Internet. One Chechen fighter who studied in the United States has put the republic on-line in a bid to help it on the road to independence. Chechnya may be in ruins, but even here you can find the Internet.
