My Trip to Grozny, Chechnya
In 2007, I was an employee of a TV crew filming the Mrs. World pageant, which was that year happening in Sochi, Russia (site of next year’s Winter Olympic Games). We first arrived in Moscow, and after a 16 hour flight (made no better by the Aeroflot “staff” and the lovely airport taxi drivers) we were taken to a beautiful hotel for a good dinner and night’s rest. You would think nothing could shake me after that journey, but over dinner, rather casually and in a matter-of-fact way, we were told we were going to Grozny. My colleagues must have been less versed on world events than I, for I was the only one that choked on my food and exclaimed, “CIVIL WAR GROZNY?!”
