Grozny, Russia
Memorial to the Victims of the Deportation of 1944
The Memorial to the Victims of the Deportation of 1944 was a Chechen memorial in the center of Grozny, capital of Chechnya, opened in 1992 to commemorate the Chechen victims of the Stalinist regime during and following their forced relocation to Central Asia in February 1944. The monument was sculpted by Chechen sculptor Darchi Khaskhanov. Partially destroyed by bombing of the Russian army during the periods between 1994–1996 and 1999–2000, the memorial complex was again defaced in a 2008 attempt to demolish it by the authorities.
