Grozny, Capital city in North Caucasus, Russia
Grozny extends along the Sunzha River at 130 meters elevation, surrounded by the Caucasus mountains with numerous oil processing facilities throughout the urban area.
The Russian military established Grozny as a fortress in 1818, which later developed into a major oil production center attracting investments from Nobel and Rothschild families.
The Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque, constructed in 2008, stands in the center of Grozny with white marble walls and spans an area of 5,000 square meters.
The city contains multiple educational institutions, including the first petroleum institute of Russia founded in 1920 and the Chechen State University.
After extensive reconstruction efforts following the conflicts of the 1990s, Grozny transformed from a completely destroyed city into a modern urban center with new infrastructure.
