Schools In Chechnya

Chechnya is a predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia, which declared its independence from Russia after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Situated in the eastern part of the North Caucasus, Chechnya is surrounded on nearly all sides by Russian Federal territory. Most Chechens are Sunni Muslim, the country having converted to that religion between the 16th and the 19th centuries.

Journalist Yulia Vishnevetskaya recently visited Chechnya and took photos of schools, outside and inside. Some of these schools are exemplary, reconstructed and with playgrounds, and others are really gloomy, with barely any life left in them.
