CIVILIAN KILLINGS IN STAROPROMYSLOVSKI DISTRICT OF GROZNY, HRW Report 2/2000 CIVILIAN KILLINGS IN STAROPROMYSLOVSKI DISTRICT OF GROZNY Russian soldiers summarily executed at least thirty-eight civilians in the Staropromyslovski district of Grozny, Chechnya, between late December and mid-January, according to testimony taken by Human Rights Watch. Most of the victims were women and elderly men, and all appear to have been deliberately shot by Russian soldiers at close range. Russian soldiers also committed many other abuses in the district, including looting and destroying civilian property and forcing residents of the town to risk sniper fire to recover the bodies of fallen Russian soldiers. Six men from the district who were last seen in Russian custody "disappeared" during this same period and remain unaccounted for.
