Russians Begin Pullout From Grozny Under Cease Fire
Russian troops began retreating from Grozny, Chechnya, as cease-fire terms took hold. Negotiations between Russian security chief Alexander Lebed and Chechen leader Aslan Maskhadov yielded a draft plan for a new Chechen constitution and general elections, with talks hinting at more autonomy for the region while Moscow seeks an integral Russia. Joint patrols and staged evacuations through corridors marked the first steps toward peace in the capital.
