This is a ridiculous number who that in a 2 year period that a further 150,000 Chechens died during 2000-2002. Keep in mind that 40,000 died in the first year of Stalingrad. In fact these numbers have been routinely used in the Balkans conflict the exact same numbers contributed to the Chechen conflict which varies on its death toll 100,000, 100,000 to 200,000 and 250,000. The 100,000 and 100,000 to 200,000 was attributed to the Bosnian conflict There also the fact that according the main stream media that half of the Chechen population lives abroad, Chechens killed in foreign conflict fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo etc and Russia’s own 2002 census that put the population in Russia at about 1.3 million.
