And again, this 'siding' is a complete fabrication created in order to deport the Chechens. More facts:

About one-fifth died. It was called Operation Lentil. That might seem an odd name, but the start of the Russian word for lentil � chechevitsa � identifies who its principal targets were. They weren�t allowed back until 1957.
