The collapse of Russian communism in 1991 resounded to the shudder of an empire. It also sounded the death knell of the small, impoverished, forgotten land-locked state of Chechnya in the Caucasus, which had the misfortune to be of geopolitical importance.

Chechnya, whose population is mainly Muslim, reiterated its desire to become an independent state as it had already done 150 years earlier. In 1991, most Chechens were not aware of the economic stakes of oil and they were considered peasants who were just good at throwing clods of earth at the Russian cavalry. Today, they know what to expect.

A “lightning war” was launched against the Chechens in 1994, reducing the capital to a rat-infested pile of rubble. Grozny has become the Dresden of the Caucasus. Subsequently the Spetznatz, a Russian special forces unit, chained murders and kidnappings. No one was spared, neither men, nor women, nor children.

But the Chechens are not resigned. What is left in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, is a vision of hell in the eyes of the survivors – pictured by Stanley Greene – that seems impossible to contemplate. What do the mothers of the Russian soldiers who have done this to Chechnya feel now about their sons?

Stanley Greene was born in New York in 1949. Twenty years later he was given a camera. Open Wound records nine years of the history of the Chechen rebellion through his eyes.

 “… when you sit on the fence and watch genocide without doing anything about it, you are as guilty as those who are committing it.” Stanley Greene

“a book with a lot of pictures and very few words; most of these photos, as you will see, speak - unfortunately - for themselves.” Olivier Dupuis, Radical MEP in a letter written during his hunger strike to the President of the European Union, Professor Romano Prodi.

“How could this have happened?' " It's a question that haunts these images already.” Dana Thomas, Newsweek

“A powerful testimony of the death and destruction that Mr. Greene has witnessed during some 20 trips to Chechnya.” Alan Riding, New York Times

“His unflinching, painterly photographs of the Chechen people at war with Russia will move the viewer long after that war is over.” Leica View

“His work is special. It touches the right nerve in the attentive viewer…. an enrichment of the tradition established by Robert Capa and Don McCullin.

The work of Stanley Greene…does what good photojournalism should do. It moves in a personal way. It makes us realise that life is too extraordinary not to be taken seriously.” Edie Peters, Foam

“Open Wound takes 10 minutes to leaf through, but leaves behind unforgettable images.” Thomas De Waal, Moscow Times

Honestly the best
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have pretty sensitive skin and have keratosis pilaris on my arms. This is honestly the best lotion I’ve ever used and I’ve tried many many lotions. My skin is soft but not greasy. My arms feel soft which is a huge deal. I’ve been using it for months now and I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else.

Extremely Helpful for Dry, Irritated Skin but Personally Too Heavy for My Face
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
This is one of those products that I completely understand the hype around because it truly does work very well for dry, irritated, over-processed, or compromised skin areas. The texture is rich, soothing, and very protective without having a strong fragrance, which I appreciate because heavily scented skincare products usually irritate my skin immediately. I have found this especially helpful for dry patches, irritation from weather, over-exfoliation, and areas where the skin barrier simply feels stressed or uncomfortable. A very small amount goes a long way and the tube itself lasted much longer than I expected. That being said, for me personally this product is simply too heavy to use regularly on my face because I am somewhat breakout-prone with richer creams. While it feels incredibly soothing, I personally prefer using it more selectively on very dry or irritated areas rather than as an all-over facial moisturizer. The packaging arrived perfectly sealed with no leaking or damage during shipping and the product looked exactly as expected upon arrival. For the amount you receive and how little is needed per use, I also think the value is very good compared to many other barrier repair creams. Overall, I absolutely understand why so many people love this product and I do think it is excellent for repairing and protecting irritated skin — I just personally have to be careful about where and how heavily I apply it. #FoundItOnAmazon #AmazonFinds #Skincare #SkinBarrier #LaRochePosay #SensitiveSkin #DrySkin #BeautyFavorites #EverydaySkincare #FrenchPharmacy #SelfCare #LuxeLife

Excellent skincare product
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
I am very happy with this product. I have been using it on irritated and dry skin, and I noticed a big improvement in a short time. It has a smooth texture, absorbs well, and does not feel greasy. It helps calm the skin quickly and restores the skin barrier. I have used it both on my face and on small sensitive areas of the body, and it works very well in both cases. It is definitely a skincare essential that I will always keep in my routine. I highly recommend it.

Worth the hype
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
I’ve seen La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 recommended countless times online, so I finally decided to try it for irritated skin and a damaged skin barrier. It absolutely lives up to the hype for me. The texture is very rich and moisturizing, but it feels extremely soothing on dry, overtreated, or sensitive areas. I’ve used it on my face, hands, and other irritated patches of skin, and it really helps calm everything down. The quality feels excellent, which is what I expect from La Roche-Posay. A little goes a long way, so I think it’s a very good value for the price. I also like that it’s versatile enough for the whole family. I’ve even shared it with my daughter, and we both love having it around for dry or irritated skin. Definitely one of those products I can see myself repurchasing regularly.

Amazing Skin Recovery Balm – Hydrating, Soothing, and Instant Tone-Up Effect!
Size: 1.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm
I bought this after an AI recommendation while looking for something to help my skin recover after professional dermatology treatments, and I’m so glad I did. This balm is incredibly moisturizing and soothing without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin barrier felt calmer almost immediately, and it really helped speed up the recovery process. One thing I love is the subtle tone-up effect — it makes my skin look brighter and more even right after application, almost like a natural glow without makeup. It’s perfect for post-treatment care, irritation, dryness, and overall skin repair. A little goes a long way, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine. Highly recommend this to anyone needing skin recovery support and a healthy-looking glow. I will definitely repurchase!
