This photo was taken in 1995 by Lucian Perkins. It was taken in Russia, Chechnya. This photo is of a bus leading to Grozny during the fighting between Chechen independence fighters and Russian troops. The civil war which erupted when President Yeltsin sent troops to the rebellious province in December 1994 was still dragging on months later. I find this photo interesting because I am interested in world history also like to learn about war. This photo is simple but effective also dramatic because of the boy in the back of the bus with his hands on the window like he wants to escape. It gives off the feeling that it wasn't a very nice life they had.
