The Presidential Palace in Grozny was a building in the center of the Chechen capital Grozny. The building became a symbol of resistance for the supporters of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria during the early stages of the conflict in Chechnya.^[1] The building was damaged by repeated artillery and air strikes. The Russian army demolished it completely in 1996.
