Valid, but perhaps a war with so much asymmetric/guerrilla warfare is hard to show using battle lines. Perhaps it made more sense in this case to demonstrate where troops were, without assuming they controlled territory completely.

I dont think there were "captured" parts. It was likely done just like they attempted in Ukraine. Drive on the roads to the capital, take it and make the country give up by losing hope. There doesnt seem to have ever been a "front line", just a city to fight over and random guerilla attacks anywhere.
“Won” is a very strong word for this. Rather, Russia “bought” Chechnya. But despite all the bright pictures from Grozny on TV, the people there are very poor. Also, many people had relatives who died in that war, and they hate the Kadyrov clan and his loyalists.
And Kadyrov bought many goons. However, Chechens males are being forced to fight in Ukraine and those who speak against his tyranny get tortured in jail. The guy made up totally fake verses 'from Quran' whilst giving to say war in Ukraine is Holy 🤡🤦♂️ Looks to be in bad health as well. When Putin dies, there'll be chaos.

Yeah this was kinda like the main precusor to the war in Ukraine (apart from the Donbas war). Russia literally invaded Georgian territory wayy past the separatist lines, mainly because Putin wanted to overthrow Georgia’s pro-Western government (much like he wanted to in Ukraine). It seems minimal now in comparison to the ongoing conflict but it was very significant, I think it happened during the Beijing Olympics as well 🇨🇳
With the exception of the land north of the Terek, I don't think this is a conflict which had clear lines of demarcation between Russian and Chechen forces. Chechen forces were simply too dispersed, too disorganized, and too factionalized, to claim that they had a frontline with the Russian forces for the Russians to overcome and occupy the land behind. This was a conflict fought according to the status of each town, or hill, or valley, wherever it was in which there were some Chechen forces offering resistance, such as in the conflicts in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

You must have misheard it. If you mean Kadyrov's father, he is a Hero of Russia and units fighting in Ukraine as well as stadiums and military vehicles are named after the guy. He was killed by Ichkeria khalifate radicals. They're Al Quaeda/IS types the West supported all the way up to 9/11.

I first heard of Chechens back in 2004 (I think?) when they captured a Russian school, it was on news in my country back then and I was around 12 years old at that time. Later, I knew they had wars with Russia in the 90s, but never really knew about it in detail. Thanks for this video, I think it's pretty straightforward and informative enough.
My family were Chechen Jews, they had left only a couple of years before the war to America. When we went back, my grandparents started crying when they saw Grozny, everything was gone.
They do exist, my family has lived in Dagestan/Chechnya for hundreds (likely a thousand years) of years, they were originally Persian Jews, who had ended up there. Most of them left towards the end of the Soviet Union, usually to Israel or America. @@armor1233
@@armor1233Yes they do exist, my family has lived in Dagestan/Chechnya for hundreds of years. The Jewish population goes back over a thousand years there, as they were taken from Israel to the Caucasus mountains, as border guards by the Persian Empires. The community used to be quite big, but they pretty much all left toward the end of the Soviet Union.
Well, Chechens could win more support from the west if they didn't make and commit all those beheading and hostage kidnapping videos. Hard to support something like that
Both West and Russia had considered Muslim world as a source of threat. So, West didn't intervene into Russia's inner affairs, and Russia supported USA invasion in Afghanistan and only formally condemned invasion in Iraq. As Russia didn't actively take part in USA invasions and had formally condemned most of them, Muslim countries had started to see USA as a primary threat and Chechnya as a part of Russia's inner affairs. A diplomatic victory come across with military one.
Another reason for Kremlin's success in Chechnya has been the eventual replacement of Russian Army troops with Interior Ministry forces, which were much better suited for counterinsurgency. The cooption of Kadyrov definitely helped, giving a "Chechen face" to the Kremlin's effort.
not replacing, they were there since the beginning. Just not as attacking forces. Most of the Videos were UAZs and white bus like cars are ambushed by chechens from back then are Omon, MVD, FSB and other non army forces.
Corrections: - Aslan Maskhadov was not a secular leader. He was an islamic one that wanted sharia, he was simply more moderate in his approach than people like Shamil Basayev. - The skirmishes in 1998 were not between government forces and fundamentalists. It was between the Yamadayev gang who were traitors just as Kadyrov. They ambushed and killed some people from the Sharia guard and then they started fighting. - Sharia law was not adopted because of pressure from radicals in 1998, it was adopted from the beginning of Ichkeria, but its application was not structured because the ongoing war. Dzhokhar Dudayev is the one who gave the orders to implement it. There are many videos of him and the presidents after him talking about this. - Akhmat Kadyrov didn’t fight the Russians either before he “betrayed” us and neither did his son, the current president. They were secretly working with the Russians from the beginning and their ancestors had connections to the NKVD, the Soviet predecessor of the KGB. They have always been traitors. - Russians also bombed the human corridors and killed thousands of civilians this way. My father and others told me stories of how they were under fire and had to carry wounded women and children whilst being shelled. - The USA also supported Russia. After the first war Russia was collapsing yet Bill Clinton sent billions of dollars to Russia in order to save it from economic collapse. This is all available and public on the internet, even though Russians try to deny this and claim the US supported rebels in Chechnya.

@@richi46 That may be true but from what I’m reading on Wikipedia (yes I know), the incursion was described as ‘potentially genocidal’ with small linguistic groups being targeted and many attacks on civilians and police officers.
'Shamil Basayev, the guerrilla commander holding hundreds of hostages in a hospital in southern Russia, inherited a long and proud ancestral tradition of suicidal resistance to invaders of his native Chechnya. Central to that tradition was the Basayev family’s two-story stone house--built in the year 1010 and now reportedly destroyed by Russian bombs--in the mountain village of Vedeno. In its defense, one Basayev ancestor fought the 14th-Century Central Asian warlord Tamerlane. A great-great-great-grandfather died in wartime service as a deputy to Imam Shamil, for whom Shamil Basayev was named. The imam fought to create an independent Islamic state, held off the czar’s army for four decades and made a last stand at Vedeno before surrendering in 1859. A great-grandfather was killed fighting the Bolshevik army, and his son died when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin deported 800,000 Chechens to Kazakhstan and Siberia in cattle cars in 1944. “If the Russians come in here and take our home, what’s the point of living?” Shamil Basayev’s father, Suleyman, asked a visitor to the stone house last winter after the Russian army had again invaded Chechnya to crush its latest drive for independence. Tragedy befell the Basayev household in a Russian air raid late in May. And after losing his village, his home, his mother, two children, a brother, a sister and six other kin, Basayev did last week what no ancestor--and no other Chechen warrior--had ever done.'

@@Gerrard_Pike2008 Not to mention the media coverage of Grozny was far less than in Gaza. Despite the city being designated as the most destroyed city on Earth in 2003.
@@Randomguy-wy4xi that may have to do with the fact that people back then had less overall awareness of global conflicts and social media hadn't picked up its pace yet. Furthermore, the conflict in Gaza naturally gets more attention because Israel and Palestine are located in a region considered "holy" by Abrahamic religions, which are followed by over 4 billion people worldwide. And even when the wars in Chechnya were being covered, media in the United States avoided in-depth analyses and stuck to bland headlines that omitted the ridiculous disparity between the Russian and Chechen sides and oversimplified the separatist movement. Outlets didn't want the American public sympathising with the Chechen cause and they certainly didn't want American congressmen proposing a bill to have US intelligence support and arm the Chechen rebels, because the Chechens fighting Russia were Islamists and by the 90s, America and Russia could both agree on Islamists being a common enemy. Today, American officials continue to bring up Chechnya and Syria to take a shot at Russia and Russian officials continue to bring up Iraq and Afghanistan to take a shot at America, but neither of them actually care about the hundreds of thousands of Muslim civilians killed.

The Russians won by bombarding civilians, bombarding all the buildings, neighborhood by neighborhood. They applied the same tactic in the city of Aleppo in Syria, advancing by bombarding and destroying house by house, and they were successful. The Russians do not commit the same brutality in Ukraine, which is why the war has been prolonged.
The Russian Armed forces do not commit a blitzkrieg style campaign in Ukraine, like they did in Chechnya, or the USA in Iraq, because, they are brothers. Excessive force would be fruitless.
They are not doing it because 1. They tried the blitzkrieg in the first two weeks and lost 1/4 of their army on the field and 2. Ukraine has more air defense systems as of now than the whole continent of south america 🙈
You left out a key factor. Russia simply employed so much artillery that any point of resistance in Grozny was obliterated. During the first war, Russia tried taking cities but keeping the infrastructure. In the second war, Russia did not care if the city was a pile of smoldering rubble, even the smoldering rubble was bombed, then bombed some more.
As a Finn, I cannot understand the Chechens. They are a small nation (like us Finns) and have defended themselves against bigger Russia (like us Finns). Chechens are excellent soldiers and they have the right to be their own independent state. What will happen in 2024? They fought in a similar war on the side of Russia against Ukraine. We Finns despise the Russian way of working and I would rather die fighting on the Russian side. Why is Russia taking over more land when it is the biggest country in the world and it is not able to take care of what it has. A poor big country with corruption, life expectancy, education level and HIV infections at the same level as some developing country in Africa. White Nigeria

Therer's a republic within Russia called Tuva. It's settled by the descendants of the Mngolian Horde. They herd horses on the wide plains and follow the nomadic lifestyle that is centures old. Given that infoprmation, here's a thought experiment. Consider the last thousand years of Russian and the Western history. Consider a moment in the future when you're dead and all your children are dead, that your grandchildren live in. Assume they live on the territory that is now Finland. What are the odds that 1. North Atlantic Treaty still exists and is still relevant to their lives. 2. European Union still exists and is relevant 3. Russia still exists and is relevant If Russia still exists, does 3.1 Tuva still exists and has its own culture? 3.2 Chechnya still exists and has its own culture? Chechen leaders must have though something like that. And look at their lives and opportunities that Russia has provided them compared to what their lives were under Maskhadov. Their capital city, Moscow, is the largest and overall arguably best city in Europe. They have a great and reasonably rich capital of Grozny, and preserve their centuries old culture and traditions. And you could say, well the West could have helped them, well that would probably entail something like joining NATO and eventually having gender diversity officers serving alongside Islamic spiritual leaders. Having their FInnlish allies hating their religion and their way of life that most Westerners would look down on, and being storm troops in containing Russia that Western leaders would not hesitate to sacrifise in case of a hot war with Russia, God forbid. Look at the recent history. Russia seems to not be an enemy to anybody who's not chosen to be the enemy of Russia first
If you want an example of proper Russian imperialism, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are good examples. Chechnya was a war just like Israel's war on Gaza. Not imperialist.
what amuses me is that you stress Chechen civilian losses as a means to demonize the Russian cause, but at the same time pay little to no attention to Russian civilian losses. Tens of thousands Russians which lived in Chechnya were killed and robbed, hundreds of thousands were forced to seek refuge and flee the region to escape death and Chechen bandits. Hmm, maybe action brings reaction?
tens of thousend of russians that were killed in chechyna by the russian army while they bombed chechnya. where is your evidence? Chechnya before the war and in the mids of the war was full of journalist. First chechen war. Where is your evidence SUka.

Russia literally invaded Georgian territory wayy past the separatist lines, mainly because Putin wanted to overthrow Georgia’s pro-Western government (much like he wanted to in Ukraine). It seems minimal now in comparison to the ongoing conflict but it was very significant, I think it happened during the Beijing Olympics as well 🇨🇳

Thank you for your videos, but as a request, would it be possible to paint the parts of Chechnya that where invaded a different colour? Thank you
With the exception of the land north of the Terek, I don't think this is a conflict which had clear lines of demarcation between Russian and Chechen forces. Chechen forces were simply too dispersed, too disorganized, and too factionalized, to claim that they had a frontline with the Russian forces for the Russians to overcome and occupy the land behind. This was a conflict fought according to the status of each town, or hill, or valley, wherever it was in which there were some Chechen forces offering resistance, such as in the conflicts in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

I first heard of Chechens back in 2004 (I think?) when they captured a Russian school, it was on news in my country back then and I was around 12 years old at that time.

if Independence of Chechens was regarded by world power they might be not in situation right now in Ukraine
Well, Chechens could win more support from the west if they didn't make and commit all those beheading and hostage kidnapping videos. Hard to support something like that
Both West and Russia had considered Muslim world as a source of threat.
So, West didn't intervene into Russia's inner affairs, and Russia supported USA invasion in Afghanistan and only formally condemned invasion in Iraq.
As Russia didn't actively take part in USA invasions and had formally condemned most of them, Muslim countries had started to see USA as a primary threat and Chechnya as a part of Russia's inner affairs.
A diplomatic victory come across with military one.
@@FalconfromRFwell said
Another reason for Kremlin's success in Chechnya has been the eventual replacement of Russian Army troops with Interior Ministry forces, which were much better suited for counterinsurgency. The cooption of Kadyrov definitely helped, giving a "Chechen face" to the Kremlin's effort.
not replacing, they were there since the beginning. Just not as attacking forces. Most of the Videos were UAZs and white bus like cars are ambushed by chechens from back then are Omon, MVD, FSB and other non army forces.

Great work on the video and information!
Corrections:
- Aslan Maskhadov was not a secular leader. He was an islamic one that wanted sharia, he was simply more moderate in his approach than people like Shamil Basayev.
- The skirmishes in 1998 were not between government forces and fundamentalists. It was between the Yamadayev gang who were traitors just as Kadyrov. They ambushed and killed some people from the Sharia guard and then they started fighting.
- Sharia law was not adopted because of pressure from radicals in 1998, it was adopted from the beginning of Ichkeria, but its application was not structured because the ongoing war. Dzhokhar Dudayev is the one who gave the orders to implement it. There are many videos of him and the presidents after him talking about this.
- Akhmat Kadyrov didn’t fight the Russians either before he “betrayed” us and neither did his son, the current president. They were secretly working with the Russians from the beginning and their ancestors had connections to the NKVD, the Soviet predecessor of the KGB. They have always been traitors.
- Russians also bombed the human corridors and killed thousands of civilians this way. My father and others told me stories of how they were under fire and had to carry wounded women and children whilst being shelled.
- The USA also supported Russia. After the first war Russia was collapsing yet Bill Clinton sent billions of dollars to Russia in order to save it from economic collapse. This is all available and public on the internet, even though Russians try to deny this and claim the US supported rebels in Chechnya.

What's the name of background music at Siege of Grozniy ??
You forgot to mention that General Lebed died in a helicopter crash a couple of months later.
'Shamil Basayev, the guerrilla commander holding hundreds of hostages in a hospital in southern Russia, inherited a long and proud ancestral tradition of suicidal resistance to invaders of his native Chechnya.
Central to that tradition was the Basayev family’s two-story stone house--built in the year 1010 and now reportedly destroyed by Russian bombs--in the mountain village of Vedeno. In its defense, one Basayev ancestor fought the 14th-Century Central Asian warlord Tamerlane.
A great-great-great-grandfather died in wartime service as a deputy to Imam Shamil, for whom Shamil Basayev was named. The imam fought to create an independent Islamic state, held off the czar’s army for four decades and made a last stand at Vedeno before surrendering in 1859.
A great-grandfather was killed fighting the Bolshevik army, and his son died when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin deported 800,000 Chechens to Kazakhstan and Siberia in cattle cars in 1944.
“If the Russians come in here and take our home, what’s the point of living?” Shamil Basayev’s father, Suleyman, asked a visitor to the stone house last winter after the Russian army had again invaded Chechnya to crush its latest drive for independence.
Tragedy befell the Basayev household in a Russian air raid late in May. And after losing his village, his home, his mother, two children, a brother, a sister and six other kin, Basayev did last week what no ancestor--and no other Chechen warrior--had ever done.'

Furthermore, the conflict in Gaza naturally gets more attention because Israel and Palestine are located in a region considered "holy" by Abrahamic religions, which are followed by over 4 billion people worldwide. And even when the wars in Chechnya were being covered, media in the United States avoided in-depth analyses and stuck to bland headlines that omitted the ridiculous disparity between the Russian and Chechen sides and oversimplified the separatist movement. Outlets didn't want the American public sympathising with the Chechen cause and they certainly didn't want American congressmen proposing a bill to have US intelligence support and arm the Chechen rebels, because the Chechens fighting Russia were Islamists and by the 90s, America and Russia could both agree on Islamists being a common enemy.

3.1 Tuva still exists and has its own culture?
3.2 Chechnya still exists and has its own culture?
Chechen leaders must have though something like that. And look at their lives and opportunities that Russia has provided them compared to what their lives were under Maskhadov.
Their capital city, Moscow, is the largest and overall arguably best city in Europe. They have a great and reasonably rich capital of Grozny, and preserve their centuries old culture and traditions.
And you could say, well the West could have helped them, well that would probably entail something like joining NATO and eventually having gender diversity officers serving alongside Islamic spiritual leaders. Having their FInnlish allies hating their religion and their way of life that most Westerners would look down on, and being storm troops in containing Russia that Western leaders would not hesitate to sacrifise in case of a hot war with Russia, God forbid.
Look at the recent history. Russia seems to not be an enemy to anybody who's not chosen to be the enemy of Russia first
If you want an example of proper Russian imperialism, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia are good examples. Chechnya was a war just like Israel's war on Gaza. Not imperialist.
haha 😂 FSB was just loading sugar in the basement. FSB exam practice
Great video! The suffering of the Chechen people must've been immense. Still today.
They called it "Ryazan sugar."
“We went to far” - yeah, anime waifu Stalin is too far……
Id love a video about the Bosnian war
KADYROV SOLD HIS FAITH
Kadirov fought against fanatic islamists financed by the Saudis
lmao cry about it
@@darius3550kadyrov a traitor who sold his people for money now tortures them because he is scared
if they won why they still pay tribute to local warlord?🤣
Because the local warlord is on the Russian side? 🤣
what amuses me is that you stress Chechen civilian losses as a means to demonize the Russian cause, but at the same time pay little to no attention to Russian civilian losses. Tens of thousands Russians which lived in Chechnya were killed and robbed, hundreds of thousands were forced to seek refuge and flee the region to escape death and Chechen bandits. Hmm, maybe action brings reaction?
tens of thousend of russians that were killed in chechyna by the russian army while they bombed chechnya. where is your evidence? Chechnya before the war and in the mids of the war was full of journalist. First chechen war. Where is your evidence SUka.
True Russia bombed ethnic Russians in Chechnya.
Those explosions in Moscow had Putler`s hand writing all over them. Also Kadyrov and his close ones are on their way out
Chechnya in Russia; Xinxiang In China; Kashmir in India. Wherever Muslim become majority, they seek their own Sharia ruled Islamic country. But they are so soft when minority.
Why shouldn't the Chechens have the right to create the country they want for themselves? This has been their land since ancient times, before the birth of Russia, the USA and Jesus.
@@MasterZang Same reason why Kashmiri, Punjabi can't create their own country in South Asia, Kurds can't in Middle East, Native people in USA, Australia can't, Khasghar people can't in Xinxiyang, Catalonian can't in Spain (despite overwhelming support in the last referendum ). The list goes on and on.
@@shekhar4654 The question is not "that they can't", but rather "when will they become independent".
And don't forget that India was colonised by the British, the wheel is turning.
Ummmm...if they're the majority, then isn't it their right to live how they want to...???
They want to rule by Sharia so that you do not do to them what you did to Iraq America's occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan or have you forgotten?
Yall what’s up with the high pitched beeping sounds on almost every TH-cam video why is it so god awfully loud????
And then a year later 9/11 happened.
Why doesnt this channel cover the Armenian invasion of Azerbaijani territories (Karabakh wars)?
Today there are Chechens fighting for and against Russia in Ukraine however the one thing Ukrainians can thank the Chechens for is that there are over 100k Russian troops stationed near Chechnya to deter and prevent another independence movement. Had it not been for the fear of the Chechen succession, those troops would be in Ukraine.
please make video on russo-georgian war
So Putin blew up his own people to get in power. Then he and Patrushev robbed Russia blind. Putin divorced his wife for a 17yr old he impregnated out of marriage yet he saves traditional values. Half of Russias rich kids live in west enjoying Russian money. Now they invade a country formerly that helped them in WW2. What a nasty place Russia has become. Only friend is China to which “all borders are open” Russki Mir = Russians slaving for China.
More about Chechen‘s! 🤝👏
