This work of documentary nonfiction tells the story of the Chechen and Ingush deportation and the tragic fates of ordinary people caught in the horrors of the war in the Chechen Republic, where they lost all they held dear. It presents real-life accounts from the author and his family, embodying universal human values that transcend nationality and religion: kindness, mutual respect, patriotism, heroism, peace, love, and boundless faith.
