In May, Czech journalist and humanitarian worker Petra Prochazkova made her way to Chechen capital Grozny again. She is renown for her war reporting, especially for the coverage of Chechen wars. Grozny which she saw today was totally different from what she had left 10 years ago. Women's dress code changed completely from what she remembered, excessive display of wealth and richness in cars, monuments, buildings and yet the mood was like in Prague after the Soviet occupation in 1968 when people were were exhausted and tired and hopeless.
