War and Humanism

The first Chechen war (1994-1996) was a tragedy for the fates of tens of thousands of people, and it exterminated entire families. Relying on her will and without losing hope, Natalia went to Chechnya, where the fiercest war was going on, to find her son with the help of Chechen guide Aslan. When she met her son, her mother failed to secure the abolition of the death penalty for him. Then she turns to Chechen Mufti Akhmat Kadyrov, who has never been indifferent to the fate of people who have survived the grief and horror of war. It is Kadyrov who, on the basis of sacred criteria, seeks the release of a prisoner of war who has been sentenced to death and hands him over to his mother. Thus the culmination of the work is a godly act by the Mufti for the sake of continuing the family. The essence of Chechen character is detailed in many chapters of the book.
