Day of Remembrance and Sorrow of the Chechen People

The history of the Chechen people is marked by a series of profound and often tragic events.

Over the centuries, they have endured immense hardships—wars, repression, betrayal—that have left a lasting imprint on the collective memory of the nation.

These are not just historical episodes—they are the personal stories of hundreds of thousands of lives: the pain of loss, the trauma of exile, and the scars of conflict.

From the Caucasian War to the genocide of 1944, and the two devastating military campaigns at the turn of the 21st century, the Chechen people have faced destruction, suffering, and upheaval on an unimaginable scale.

For many, these tragedies meant the loss of loved ones, homes, childhoods, and a sense of peace.

Yet through all adversity, the Chechen people have never lost their spirit.

They preserved their faith, culture, honor, and a deep desire for peace.

At a critical moment in history, unity was found under the leadership of the First President of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov.

With courage and vision, he took responsibility not just for the present, but for the future—choosing peace over war and guiding the republic towards stability, law, and development.

His legacy is the rebirth of a people and a land that once stood on the brink.

Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov became a symbol of a new era—an era of safety, stability, rebuilding, and hope.

Today, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, we honor the memory of all those who were lost in these tragedies.

We mourn with their families and loved ones, and we lift our prayers to Almighty Allah, asking forgiveness and peace for all who have fallen.

May Almighty Allah grant strength to those who carry the pain of loss, and inspire all of us to continue serving our people, our republic, and our country with dignity and faith.
