Shortly afterwards Natalia Estemirova was kidnapped outside their apartment block in Grozny, Chechnya. On 15th July 2009, she was murdered for telling the truth. A mountainous sliver of land which creates a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, for centuries Chechnya had been a sharp bone in Russia's throat. Three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, frustrated by the continued presence of the independence movement within Chechnya, Russia invaded.It was a war of extraordinary brutality. It turned Lana's mother, Natalia Estemirova, from a teacher into a human rights investigator. She became a dedicated member of Memorial, intent on exposing the kidnappings, bombings, torture and murders committed by Russian forces and Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed Chechen President. Natalia Estemirova's life, assassination, and the impunity that followed it, tell the story of Putin's Russia. This is Lana's story of growing up in a war. Of the intense bond between a mother and daughter, desperate to be together even though it was so much safer for Lana to live elsewhere, often for months at a time. It is a book both about being brave and about being ordinary in extraordinary times. It's the fulfilment of a promise Lana made at her mother's grave.

Lana was born on on 3 March 1994 in a dilapidated hospital on the outskirts of Yekaterinburg, Russia, thousands of miles away from Chechnya, the place that would become her real home, a place that was just months away from war. Fifteen years later, her mother was abducted and murdered.A mountainous slither of land which creates a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, for centuries Chechnya had been a sharp bone in Russia's throat.

It turned Lana's mother, Natalia Estemirova, from a teacher into a human rights investigator. As a member of MEMORIAL she was intent on exposing the kidnappings, bombings, torture and murders committed by Russian forces - and by Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen dictator now involved with the Russian army. Working hand-in-glove with Anna Politkovskaya and Stanislav Markelov, amongst many brave others, Natalia Estemirova also wrote for Novaya Gazeta, further focusing the world's attention on what was happening. Tragically, Anna Politkovskaya and Stanislav Markelov were each murdered in retaliation for their work, and on the 15th of July 2009 Natalia Estemirova was abducted from outside her Grozny apartment block and killed.This is Lana's story of growing up in a war. Of the intense bond between a mother and daughter, navigating a need to be together while knowing that safety meant living apart, often for months at a time. It is a book both about being brave and about being ordinary in extraordinary times. It's the fulfilment of a promise she made at her mother's grave.

I december i år har det gått trettio år sedan Boris Jeltsin beordrade rysk trupp mot den tjetjenska huvudstadenGroznyj för att kväsa den tjetjenska delrepublikens själv- ständighets ambitioner. Det blev inledningen på det första av de två Tjetjenien krigen, som skulle prägla den ryska samhällsutvecklingen på djupet och spela en helt central roll i Vladimir Putins väg till makten. I och med att kla- nen Kadyrov installerades i ledningen för delrepubliken ett par år in på 2000-talet övergick den öppna militära konflikten i någonting annat, som man med ett samtida språkbruk frestas att kalla för en »hybridfred«. Det trauma som de tjetjenska krigen innebar både för det tjetjenska samhället och det omgivande ryska har förblivit obearbe- tat och krigsförbrytarna i stort sett ostraffade. Lana Estemirova är dotter till den tjetjenska människorättsaktivisten Natalja Estemirova, som mördades den 15 juli 1999. I detta samtal med den ryske historikern och prosaisten Sergej Lebedev försöker hon frilägga hur krigen inte bara förändrade det tjetjenska samhället i grunden, utan också pekar fram mot den ryska invasionen av Ukraina och övergreppen mot civilbefolkningen i Butja, Mariupol, Izium och otaliga andra platser i Ukraina. Samtalet ägde rum i april 2023.
