The Basement People:
A family takes shelter in their basement during a fierce bombing in December 1999. Although the bombings have stopped, hundreds of people, often called podvalshchiki or "basement people," live in their cellars, especially in the Staropromyslovsky district, Grozny's largest residential area. The podvalshchiki often have no relatives to help them and are unable to leave Grozny.
