Checkpoint:
Chechen refugees returning to Grozny wait in line as Russian officers check their identification documents at a checkpoint in Severny, just two miles outside Grozny. Checkpoints are all over Grozny and have become a source for corruption; residents must often pay bribes to soldiers as a condition for entry or departure.
