Grozny, the capital of Chechnya in Russia, was called the most destroyed city on Earth by the United Nations in 2003. If you are searching for Grozny today, Chechnya war history, Grozny before and after, most destroyed city in the world, or Grozny City towers, this is what the city looks like now.Chechnya declared independence in 1991. The First Chechen War ran from December 1994 to August 1996, and the second began in August 1999.
The Battle of Grozny alone lasted from 25 December 1999 to 6 February 2000. By 2003 the UN said not a single building in the city had been left undamaged.
The Grozny City towers opened on 5 October 2011, and the opening was held during the birthday celebration of Ramzan Kadyrov. He is the son of Akhmad Kadyrov, Chechnya's first president, and won another term as head of the republic in September 2026.
Grozny is the capital of the Chechen Republic in the Russian North Caucasus, about 100 km east of Vladikavkaz and the Verkhny Lars land border with Georgia. It was rebuilt after two wars and is home to around 330,000 people.
This is part of my Russia series, travelling overland on a Russian electronic visa from Georgia through North Ossetia, Chechnya and Dagestan, then east across Siberia toward Mongolia. Every fact in these reels is checked against published sources before it goes in.
