More than 400 Armenians were massacred and thousands others were
injured in the aftermath of Baku slaughter in 1990. Among the victims
not only Armenians but foreigners could also be found. Particularly
in 1998 "Russian House" publication printed in its 6th edition a story
by Vyacheslav Morozov titled "Russia's white book", which highlighted
Russians' mass killings in 1990.
The author quotes a Russian refugee N. Tarjimanova as remembering:
"Something incredible was taking place there. On Jan 13 the slaughter
started. My baby was crying hugging me being afraid to be murdered.
When the army invaded the city, the director of the school I was
employed, an Azeri woman and an intellectual said: "When the army
leaves the city Russians will be hanging from every tree."
We escaped leaving everything - our homes, property...I was born in
Azerbaijan, my granny was also born here."
The author remembers another meeting with a refugee from Baku. "We
were living in Baku. They broke the door, beat me and my husband. They
raped 12-year-old Olga, They were six. Luckily 4-year-old Marinka was
locked in the kitchen and didn't see it. They destroyed everything in
the flat and ordered to leave it until evening. When we were hurrying
to airport a girl fell just in front of my feet, she was thrown from
the building, her blood spattered on my clothes."
Galina Litvinova, a public activist, who introduced the refugee to
Morozov, told him that some other more cruel stories could be found,
stories which were out of understanding and imagination.
