      You can see the bias in this documentary. When the Chechens carried out an ethical cleansing and expelled almost a million Russian residents from Chechnya, since the end of the Soviet Union, the speaker does not think the reason for the attack is big enough, and he presents the eleventh of September as a righteous revenge and the massacre of hundreds of thousands of civilians, which Putin is supposed to use to turn attention from Chechnya. In addition, America's Netting of Rebellion to Break Russia is omitted.

    I went to Grozy about 5 years ago. The rebuilding of it was incredible, and the locals were friendly and seemed happy. But you can still tell that some time ago; it went through a terrible terrible siege, like some German cities and when I also visited Volgograd that very trip. I have no doubts Mariupol will have the same feel in a decade.

    I wish you also mentioned that the main defender of the city was a close friend to the attacking commander, and their comms have been recorded extensively. It's a very tragic part of the war. The siege leader asked the other side to give up multiple times, but they were adamant even in the face of destruction. By the last transmission it is basically two friends saying their goodbyes to each other.

    Всегда интересно посмотреть как на события смотрят со стороны.

    У историков, рассказывающих о конфликтах других стран, но когда их родные страны в них не принимали участие- преподносят информацию объективно и непредвзято . Не важно кто: российские ,американские и т.д.
    Но когда в ней участвует твоя страна, тут начинается субъективщина :замолчивание фактов, искажения и интерпретации на удобный вам лад и т.д.
    Немногие могут через это переступить.
