Footage allegedly shot by a Chechen fighter in eastern Ukraine. He is filming a vehicle burning he was just in and escaped. Supposedly as he got closer to film the vehicle fire, the ammunition inside cooks off and an explosion happens and killed the man filming.

By 1999, Yeltsin was visibly ill and frequently intoxicated, and the problem of succession became acute. Elections were needed to replace him; from the perspective of the oligarchs these needed to be managed and the outcome controlled. A successor was needed who would allow Yeltsin’s family (in both the normal sense of his relatives and in the Russian sense of friendly oligarchs) to stay alive and maintain their wealth. “Operation Successor,” as the challenge was known in the Kremlin, had two stages: finding a new man who was not a known associate of Yeltsin, and then inventing a fake problem that he could then appear to solve. To find his successor, Yeltsin’s entourage organized a public opinion poll about favorite heroes in popular entertainment. The winner was Max Stierlitz, the hero of a series of Soviet novels that were adapted into a number of films, most famously the television serial Seventeen Moments of Spring in 1973. The fictional Stierlitz was a Soviet plant in German military intelligence during the Second World War, a communist spy in Nazi uniform. Vladimir Putin, who had held a meaningless post in the East German provinces during his career in the KGB, was seen as the closest match to the fictional Stierlitz. Having enriched himself as the assistant to the mayor of St. Petersburg in the 1990s, Putin was known to the Kremlin and thought to be a team player. He had worked for Yeltsin in Moscow since 1998, chiefly as head of the Federal Security Service (FSB, the former KGB). When appointed Yeltsin’s prime minister in August 1999, Putin was unknown to the larger public, so not a plausible candidate for national elected office. His approval rating stood at 2%. And so it was time to generate a crisis that he could appear to solve. In September 1999, a series of bombs exploded in Russian cities, killing hundreds of Russian citizens. It seemed possible that the perpetrators were FSB officers. In the city of Ryazan, for example, FSB officers were apprehended by their local colleagues as suspects in the bombings. Though the possibility of self-terrorism was noticed at the time, the factual questions were overwhelmed by righteous patriotism as Putin ordered a new war against the part of Russia deemed to be responsible for the bombings: the Chechen republic of southwestern Russia, in the Caucasus region, which had declared independence in 1993 and then fought the Russian army to a standstill. There was no evidence that Chechens had anything to do with the bombings. Thanks to the Second Chechen War, Putin’s approval rating reached 45% in November. In December, Yeltsin announced his resignation and endorsed Putin as his successor. Thanks to unequal television coverage, manipulation of the vote tally, and the atmospherics of terrorism and war, Putin was accorded the absolute majority needed to win the presidential election of March 2000. The ink of political fiction is blood.

Не устаю восхищаться Зикром чеченских суфиев - последователей ордена Накшбанд. Ныне запрещённый в Турции, Иране и Балканах, орден процветает у нас на Кавказе — в Чечне и Ингушетии.

The real role of pro-Russian Chechens in Ukraine: Report 19Aug 2022

The real role of pro-Russian Chechens in Ukraine According to Ukrainian military leaders and government officials, most of the Russian soldiers sitting in the 34 armed personnel carriers that rolled down Buka on February 27 were ethnic Chechens. Bearded and plump, dressed in brand new, perfectly fitting uniforms and toting assault rifles, they were expected to wander through the leafy suburb to…

lüralla/fury

29 years ago the first Russian-Chechen war began. after 29 years in the war with the Russian occupiers, I am now the granddaughter of deportees, the daughter of a father who was tortured by the Russian occupiers and a sister of a brother who died in the battles for the independence of Ichkeria.

lazar/pain

Russia had brought immense pain to Chechnya and after being left unpunished - brought it to Ukraine too.

a Chechen boy after seeing Russian terrorist attack on Vinnytsia and little girl Liza said: I was killed in 2000 by a bomb and I have been leaving in a hell ever since.

xag/hatred

a soldier from the Sheikh Mansur battalion teaches me, a civilian women: we don't speak with the occupiers, we kill them.

remember the ruins of Grozny, kill the occupiers.

diccadalar/memory

grandmother, the “child of lentils”, who survived deportation, two wars and died under the Russian occupation, had forgotten everything in the last two years of her life—everything at all. all the pain and all the horror that Russia brought into her life. but memory in today’s world is also resistance.

beqam/retribution

there will be retribution. retribution to everyone who came to kill to the land of Ichkeria and to the land of Ukraine.

but I hope that I will be the last generation of my family who has to fight with the Russian world. The rashist terrorist federation must die.

düẋalo/resistance

today three generations of Chechens are fighting for Ukraine and Chechnya - those who fought in the first Russian-Chechen war, those who fought in the second one and children for whom this war became the first in their life.

on the picture taken somewhere in the 1990s is the battalion commander of the Sheikh Mansur battalion, Muslim Cheberloevsky.
