Aslan Maskhadov

My Photoshop work.

On March 8 2005 year President of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria Aslan Maskhadov became a Shaheed (a Martyr), he fell in a battle in the village of Doikur-Aul (Tolstoy-Yurt).

Death of President Maskhadov has become the main news in media reports worldwide. And it is understandable: for quite a long time the figure of Chechen President has been determining in any affairs in the Caucasus.

By killing Maskhadov, the Kremlin has killed the last illusion in those Chechens who no matter what still believed in the so-called 'international law' and civilized forms of communication with today’s regime in Moscow.

A new period in the history of Russian-Chechen military confrontation has started with the death of CRI President.

The war will not cease, it will be stopped. But it will be stopped only when the threat from the North will be eliminated once and for all.

Aslan Maskhadov is not the first Chechen President who became a Shaheed (a Martyr), Insha Allah (God Willing), and probably not the last Chechen leader who has to die in a battle for his country’s freedom. But Aslan Maskhadov became the first President, who was killed demonstratively and in a vile way in response to reaching out his hand of peace, and he was the last one who did reach out his hand for that purpose.

Aslan Maskhadov, You are our hero! and you will always live in our hearts! for us, you're alive! you proud of the Chechen people! May Allah reward you and make you a Shaheed Insha-Allah!
