Male
Some of you maybe saw the name „Yapnoy“ and wonder why Chechens named their children like this. For Chechens, and other Caucasians, it was common to name their children after nationalities they had battles with.
Chechen male names also include tribe-names or village names, like: Benoy, Nashkho, Zumsoy, Iton, Zandak, etc.

Letter of the Soviet veteran Yelena Bonner to the US President Bill Clinton
"Deeply honoured, Mr. President.
The Chechen war, declared by Russia as a re-establishment of the constitution, goes four months now. During this time this war has turned into a genocide of the Chechen people.
The bombing and shelling took place in 245 settlements, 187 of which were practically destroyed, including the Chechen capital Grozny.
Forty-two thousand civilians were killed.
The total number of wounded is unknown, but 2,000 children are crippled; 2,500 are left without their parents.
There are also civil society organizations from Great Britain and the United States, but the Russian authorities don’t give permission for these children to leave the country.
The Interior Ministry and the army oppose humanitarian aid to Chechnya and the activities of the International Red Cross.
On 8 December tanks and flamethrowers were used to destroy the village of Samashki and kill civilians. Over 700 civilians were killed in Samashki.
During World War II Stalin's gang
tried to convince the world that the Poles in Katyn were shot by the Germans. Today the army and the Russian state security organs falsely claim that this crime against humanity were committed by the Chechens themselves.
You are flying to Russia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Victory Day. This gives you the right to insist on a cessation of hostilities and immediate negotiations. with Gen. Dudayev, under the auspices of the UN, the OSCE, or your administration.
The initiative would have been a moral justification for your stay in Moscow in May, and would reaffirm the U.S. commitment to the protection of human rights. It would bring the enduring gratitude of the Chechen people and thousands of Russian mothers whose sons, children and grandchildren, victors of the Second World War - who continue to perish in this unprovoked bloody slaughter.
Sincerely, Yelena Bonner, veteran of World War II. Lieutenant in the Medical Service of the Soviet Army in 1941-1945.“

„I asked him:
What is this place called?
„Valerik“, he said,
Which means „the river of the dead“
And those who named it rest in heaven.
— „How many of them fought today?“
— „7,000“
— „How many did the Mountaineers lose?“
— „Who knows? Why would they be counted!“
„They’ll be counted“, I heard a voice reply.
„This day of blood will not be forgotten“.
I turned and saw the Chechen, nodding, with a grin of contempt upon his lips.“
Mikhail Lermontov, „Valerik“, 1840

Sharoy
In medieval times, Sharoy was a fortress with seven defense towers and it had several residential ones.
This early medieval fortress stood on an elevated place, at the intersection of the main routes from the Argun Gorge to Cheberloy, Kakheti and Dagestan. The towers served as unified signal system of Chechens. This system developed in the 12th-14th century.
The residential towers were blown up after the deportation of Chechens in 1944. One of the defense towers was destroyed by Russian bombing in 1995, during the First Russian-Chechen War.
On one of the buildings of Sharoy, an ancient petroglyph depicting a man with a dog is noticeable; the stone is much older than the building itself and, apparently, may belong to the Koban era.
