Описание (английский)

Grozny

Grozny is the capital city of the Chechen Republic, Russia. The city lies on the Sunzha River.
 
In Russian, "Grozny" means "fearsome", or "redoubtable", the same word as in Ivan Grozny or Ivan the Terrible. In 1996, during the First Chechen War, the Chechen separatists renamed the city Dzhokhar-Ghala, or Dzhokhar/Djohar for short, after Dzhokhar Dudayev, the first President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
