A Family’s Journey: The Story Of The Tsarnaevs And Their Life-Changing Travels, in One Chart -- Washington Post

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers accused of conducting the Boston Marathon bombings, followed a distinct but far from unique path across Europe, Asia and the United States. The Tsarnaevs’ journey is in some ways peculiar to this family, which emigrated to the United States in a “quest for a good living,” according to The Washington Post’s immersive profile, but also characteristic of the larger Chechen story, of a people repeatedly pushed out of and returning to their home region in the Russian North Caucasus.

This chart allows you to trace the family’s travels across their ancestral home in Chechnya, to the nearby Russian provinces of Kalmykia and Dagestan, to the Central Asian former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and finally, for the young brothers, to the United States.
