We love to share with our listeners what life is like in the Caucasus today.  But it’s also important to hear what life was like at other times.  Elina, a Russian born and raised in pre-war Grozny, Chechnya, shares with us today what life during her childhood was like.  If you’ve only learned about Chechnya through media outlets, you may be surprised at what you hear!  Today Elina is a psychologist, an artist, a teacher of English and of German in Pyatigorsk.
