DRUEY Cecile

Is a use of force appropriate?: clashing memories of the Budennovsk hostage crisis (1995)/ Cecile Druey - 2023

The hostage-taking by Chechen combatants in the Russian town of Budennovsk (1995) marked a turning point in the first Chechnya War (1994–96) and has left deep marks on the consciousness of Russians and Chechens representatives and civil society. It is referred to in Russian accounts as the first large-scale terrorist attack by Chechen groups in Russia.
