Natalia Estemirova on Chechnya ¨ê

93-7-438
A few days later Ms Estemirova was in Moscow, publicly confronting military officials who claimed that the attack on the market was aimed only at rebels. It was October 1999 and Russia, under the premiership of Vladimir Putin, had begun a second, longer-lasting war against its own republic of Chechnya. The aerial attacks were soon followed by "mopping up" operations, often accompanied by killings, rape and the burning of houses.
Ms Estemirova joined Memorial and went back to Chechnya, which by then was closed to journalists and outsiders. "I remember going to the village of Aldi on March 20th 2000. It was dead. We counted 47 victims, but of course there were more ¡¦A woman was hanging up bloodstained clothes left from her husband, who had been executed¡¦People were in shock and would talk only in whispers¡¦I remember walking over the bridge together with Aldi's villagers and a boy walking in front of us. And some sniper, bastard, started shooting."
In April 2004 she managed to get to the mountain hamlet of Rigakhoi, which had been hit by Russian bombs. "They bombed it knowing it was a family house, that children's nappies were drying on the line, that sheep were wandering about. Inside there was a woman with five children. When they started bombing, she gathered them all around, because that is how they were foundshe must have tried to cover them with her arms."

When Ms Estemirova arrived the relatives dug up the children's bodies so she could photograph them as evidence, since prosecutors refused to see them. When Ms Estemirova's colleagues walked into her flat last week they saw this photograph: five small bodies lying in a row, from five years down to nine months.
When she photographed those bodies, her own daughter was ten years old. "It hurts that I could never love my daughter freely: I am always scared for her, even now. It is bad, because she has now grown. The fact that I became a human-rights defender was also the result of my maternal feeling: I just felt so sorry for these people who went through filtration camps. I was so outraged that this happened."
The outrage did not blind her judgment. She was equally angry with "those who speculated with these ideas of independence. They have used their people as a shield. In fact they betrayed the people." The real heroes of this war, she said, were the women who assumed the burden of saving the nation, who pulled their men out of dungeons and who gave milk and bread to the Russian soldiers who did not try to rape and kill them.
