SocialistStories حكايات اشتراكية

The extract I will be quoting from below is from Leo Tolstoy's Al-Hagg Murad which is rendered in english translation oddly as Hadji Murat, purportedly because the story takes place in Chechnya and this is apparently how they pronounce the arabic (الحج مراد) there. Anyway...to start off I should give a little background to this story. This story takes place during one of the Russian campaigns in Chechnya, which has a long history of Russian interference and oppression, and also of fierce armed resistance by the Chechen people (the most recent examples of this are the 1994 and 1999 inhuman Russian wars on Chechnya). We should remember our Chechen brothers and sisters who are today living under Russian occupation with a collaborationist puppet ruling over them. This post is dedicated to the struggling Chechen people...FOR A FREE CHECHNYA!!!
