War and Peace in the Caucasus: 100 Selected Articles

Submitted by crinadmin on

This collection summarises in 100 articles the basic events that have taken place in the Caucasus from 1999-2005 - a period during which not only saw the beginning of a new millennium, but of new developments in the region. Every week during these six years, the Caucasus Reporting Service (CRS) of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting provided readers around the world a view on these events. This unique resource published investigations by local journalists conducted according to international standards, joint cross-border reports, and analysis of developments taking place in the furthest reaches of the region.

This job perhaps looks very simple: merely to lay out the reasons and details of the events in an objective manner. But in fact it proved to be difficult work to be an unbiased journalist in a region where, in the last 10-15 years, four major wars took place - Chechnya, Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In addition, Ossetians and Ingush clashed in the Prigorodny region of North Ossetia, and an "anti-terrorist" operation between Russian federal forces and Chechen rebels continues in Chechnya to this day.
