UNISEF CLAIM THAT CHECHNYA, WHICH ONE CAN CROSS WITHIN THREE HOURS, IS THE MOST HEAVILY MINED PLACE IN THE WORLD, IN TERMS OF DENSITY. IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS OVER HALF OF MILLION OF LANDMINES AND UNATTENDED EXPLOSIVES, LEFT BY BOTH SIDES, HAVE KILLED OR MAIMED MORE THAN 10.000 CIVILIANS. 1/2 LANDMINES' VICTIMS ARE CHILDREN... ANOTHER TRAGIC REALITY OF MODERN CHECHNYA IS NEW BREED OF TEENAGE BOMB MAKERS, WHO KILL FOR A LIVING.
