During the Chechen
wars Dr Khassan Baiev saved the lives of thousands
of men, women and children. For his work he was
sentenced to death by the Russian and the Chechen
rebels and fled to live in the USA. He returned to
Grozny this summer to operate on the most badly
maimed, deformed or disfigured children – and to
break the Russian information blackout to bring news
of their plight to the world. The children of
Chechnya are the forgotten victims of Russia’s dirty
war – 40,000 died in the two Chechen wars – another
half million survive today – but they are maimed by
landmines, born with stress-related deformities and
traumatised beyond imagination. Chechnya is one of
the most heavily land-mined countries on earth.
Every year hundreds of children are horribly maimed
by them. The Lost Children of Chechnya is a moving
account of an amazing man, doing amazing things. |
