Bro please don't use those types of maps, the contrast makes it disgusting to look at since my brain just sees the white mass as water and red mass as land Other than that great video
Vastly unpopular war against a neighbor once part of the USSR whom many Russian citizens saw a kinship with, kicked off with a failed attempt at a blitz to the capital while the western world condemned the war and Russian troops on the ground struggled with nonexistent morale... That's one hell of a rhyme.
This isn't like history repeating itself this is just how Russia is and has always been. They love war and it definitely not rhyming because we didn't give the Chechens shit. Russia is, has, and will always be invading, or trying to invade, another country.
Even though I was only a few years old when the First Chechen War started, I still remember seeing on TV or in newspaper articles of the horror of that conflict. Very nice video and thanks for sharing!
I Remember the Radio chat of Chechen Officer Ali (Turpal Ali Aritgiyef) and Russian Officer Alik (Ivan Alexandrovich Savin). How Ali try his best for making the Russian attack to be stopped due to his friend Alik that become the officer in russia spearhead attack on groznik railway is in there. How Ali really put in an effort to save his friend Alik from doing face to face Confronttation with Chechen soldiers which Ali command. But, in the end they fight eaxh others. Its sad about their story. Once they served in the same army, the Soviet army. Ali and Alik served in Soviet-Afghan War together as brothers in arms. Such pity and sad when you imagine how they talked. Imagine when in Soviet-Afghan War Ali said to Ivan (Alik) "thankyou for your kind act to me all this time, when the war over, you can visit me in Chechnya region. I will welcome you as my family, because now you are my brother Alik (Ivan)" But when they come home, Civil war broke out, and when Ivan have the chance to come to Chechnya to visit Ali, they found themselves in different side fighting each other. And when Alik find Ali in Grozny the last thing Ali said to Alik (Ivan) as Warm Family greeting is "Welcome to Hell brother"
Would you mind please to tell me where you or anyone else got an impression that "Alik" is Ivan Savin? Because I don't see any reasons to call him Alik. Instead of Vanya for instance.
@@arztkorkenzieher3863 Ivan Savin of the 131st motor brigade was nicknamed Alik because of his fathers name Aleksey, a lot of Chechens knew russian commanders personally because they used to serve together only a few years earlier

Little mistake there, at 9:49 there’s a drawing of Sean Connery, famous Scottish actor, rather than Aslan Maskhadov, somewhat famous Chechen tough chap.
There is a big interview with Dzhokhar Dudayev back in 90th during the first Chechen war, it is in russian and you can find on TH-cam , where he predicted that Crimea will be taken by Russia in the near future, if russians conquer the Chechen Republic. And he was right.
It's lucky that Russia left the Soviet Union right before Khrushchev formally declared Crimea part of Ukraine, otherwise that would make them even worse shitbag imperialists than those Americans they hate so much. I suppose in the average Russian's mind Stalin peacefully passed the torch to Putin at the age of 136. Returning to his dacha to plant trees, smoke his pipe, and reminiscence about his glory days of starving the Ukrainians out of any ideas of independence. It is funny how the official line is that ''the Ukrainians are our brothers and we love them, they've just been brainwashed by evil CIA, so we're correcting them.'' Yet Russians still celebrate people like Stalin and others who murdered millions of Ukrainians for petty reasons. Putin continues this fine tradition today and he is uber popular. Meanwhile, America has done nothing but try to help Ukraine whether giving loans or just free cash to improve their economy, free or heavily discounted weapons for their army, sending our combat experienced soldiers to help them train, etc, etc.....but we're the bad guys. They should stick with Russia who has been so good to them for the last 400 or so years. And you all dare call others brainwashed.
I have seen that video and i am happy that more people are seing it, because back then no one believed him especially Ukrainians, but now many of them are apologizing for not believing us and trusting russian propaganda which was ofc doing all it could to make us look like the bad guys. Also i dont think he predicted about Crimea, i think he had some documents or had some inside info because after all he was Major General in the USSR army.
7:50 “Softened up with some bombardment” “Bloodless blitzkrieg” “Soldiers would be exemplary, showcasing restraint and their professionalism” “Overpowering military hardware” “Poorly trained conscripts” “Indiscriminately bombing the shit out of it” Sounds a bit familiar, specially with the actual results
To be completely fair the Russians are actually acting much more humanely compared to grozny since this time they need there to be some civilians left for them to assimilate when this is over, they still are terrible for their war crimes against all they have fought against
@@antoinesaliba6294 that’s very true, considering that a large part of the recent escalations been a consequence of the unexpected resistance to their initial “restraint”.

Dude, Hitler never entered Chechnya, in fact, he was stopped at the border, check Mozdok battles and Grozny bombings. The 'formal' reason for Chechen Genocide is another rebellion started in 1938. Chechens had an agreement with Soviet Russia that they will have independence if they support reds in Soviet Revolution against the monarchists. Chechens people helped Soviets, but Moscow didn't grant the independence, this resulted in rebellions in 1922, 1924, 1929 and 1938. Russians like to use that cliche to justify the death of over 30% of Chechen and Ingush people and refuse the fact of Genocide, please don't repeat it.
Так лол, чеченцы сами устроили геноцид славян в 90х, поэтому война началась. И не надо говорить, что злые русские обижают чеченцев, чеченцы сами хоть кого обидят.

Respect for trying to stay unbiased (albeit mercilessly sarcastic). Though I’d like to add some corrections: 1. There were several attempts at conquering the Caucasus before Catherine II, most notably, under Peter I 2. Grozny wasn’t built to be a Russian city, it was built to be a Soviet one (there are differences between Russian culture and the culture Soviet government tried to enforce upon citizens of the USSR) 3. Mikhail Gorbachev wasn’t the one to dissolve the USSR. The agreement dissolving it was created and enacted by the presidents of Russia,Ukraine and Belarus. Though, I think it might be argued otherwise.
+Alex Butters, you know that "facts" are something that has a basis, right? And not speculation with wishful thinking. Soviet culture is not Russian culture. Soviet communism was international. And it was not the "Soviet Russian Empire" in any way. The Russian Empire was divided into parts so that each national minority received its republic. The leadership of the USSR was multinational, and the leader was most often a representative of a different nationality, rather than a Russian. Stalin was Georgian, Khrushchev was Ukrainian, etc.
Soviet culture cant be based on Russian culture. Since Soviet culture completly refused the orthodoxal church and nationalism, which on other hand is a foundation to Russian culture. USSR had its own ideology & culture which was based around working class.
I find it interesting that no one talks about the deportation of the chechens but everyone talks about the deportation of the armenians in the ottoman empire.
Greyson of Leeward not just Chechens, but also Koreans, Kalmyks, Crimean Tatars, Germans, even Jews. And in the 19th century such nations as Ubykhs and Circassians were wiped out from the map.
Probably because the Chechens were eventually able to return to their lands while the Armenians still have half their ancestral homeland controlled by Turkey?
@@saddamhussein3849 Actually Armenians have their own completely independent nation today located in the Caucasus, whereas the Chechens are still under the firm control of Russian administration. Chechens are clearly in a much worse position, even if a part of armenian land is under Turkish control its better then no land at all.
I love Russia, but let's be honest!! The Chechens, massively outgunned and unimaginably outnumbered, the Chechens mounted a brilliant heroic resistance.
Ohh please, too much propaganda. This event is a another attempt of USA to destroy Rusia, just like in Syria. Take a book and stop watching this US propaganda on TH-cam. "Russian way" = Bomb indiscriminately? Seriously? In Syria we saw this as a big lie, this is the way of the United States...
Caucasia lived without Islamic nomads 2000 years when Islamic nomads comes they cut of more 200 thousands orthodox Caucasians had _ take lands _ raped girls genocides of orthodox orthodox Caucasian Kong's asked to Russia save them and if Russia win Russia may take some lands from Caucasia; other nomads take European and Russian land's on 300 years_when Russia staying stronger Russia takes nomads lands for pay back. CHURCHES language is from eastern yenisei .if Islamic religion staying stronger they doing that again .
They were hardened Soviet warriors who also fought in Afghanistan vs 18 year old kids with 2 weeks of training. They also ceased lots of Russian equipment prior to war. Instead of throwing themselves at the enemy, they operated in small squads that were capable of sniping the enemy or destroying a tank. They actually often had better equipment than the Russian kids did because they had supporting groups outside of Russia. Also Arabic mercenaries fought on their side.
+Random Person, to kill innocent people, organize terrorist attacks and try to create an Islamic State, is need really much courage. Riiight. Normal Chechens did not want war and this hell, which was arranged by local radical Islamists. "Fighters for Freedom," "Moderate Opposition." Of course.
Hello there! I would like to add a remark for your consideration. You have mentioned that Chechen oil issue was integral to Russian federal authorities. However, that was most likely not the case. You see, Chechen oil fields have been exploited since 19th century and they are not as big as their buddies in Azerbaijan. Hence, compared to Siberian, Ural oil output Chechen oil output was and is increasingly becoming negligible (oil production started falling even before the war, if I’m not mistaken). The major reason for the federal government, however, to not allow Chechnya to break away would be to quell separatist sentiments across all of the Russia (could be another useful addition to the video: to show ethnic structure of Russia). The same way the forces that supported Chechen breakaway could be motivated by creating a catalyst for further disintegration of feverish Russia into smaller parts (so at the end of the day oil could still be on the table but on much greater scale). Peace!
I beg to disagree about oil being a big factor in the war. The oil deposits of Chechnya are rather tiny in comparison with the freely available oil resources in Siberia and elsewhere in Russia. The Chechen separatists planned to subsist on oil, but for Russians, it was not really that significant. The oil prices were very low in the 1990s, anyway. The main factor behind the start of the 1994-1996 war was a political one. There was a real danger of further disintegration of the country. As you correctly mentioned, it was a tough time everywhere in Russia. Nationalist movements were on the rise in many regions; even in predominantly Russian regions separatist ideas were appearing! Many people thought that "living separately" could improve their economic situation. The elites of many regions, such as, e.g., Tatarstan, tried to use those movements as a bargaining card in extorting concessions from the Russian government. If Chechnya had been allowed to separate with impunity, many other regions could attempt the same. The President's intention was to prevent that process. Which he did... but at what cost! Also, most Russians were dreaming of a "strong hand" already back then. Yeltsin thought that fast and efficient dealing with separatists would improve his ratings. Epic fail...
I know that obviously a History buff would do this, but seeing somebody mention Konstanin Chernenko when showing the graves of the Soviet Leaders made me happy. He's very overlooked, for mostly good reasons.
Thanks for taking the time. These are complex situations to describe.

You have been the first non-Russian-speaker that I've seen saying Khruschev correctly, with the "hrr" sound for kh ("Х" in the original cirilic) and "iov" for ev ("ёв" in cirilic), so kudos to you! btw, I'm not Russian, just learning the language :D
There is a period of history that is often ignored by historians, it is the time between napoleons fall and ww1. It was a very interesting time filled to the brim with nationalist uprisings and revolutions you should make a video or two on some of them.
Love Chechen from China 🇨🇳 I went to Chechen in 2017, and people there were really nice and friendly. Chechen people looked very beautiful, and I was shocked by the mosques and beautiful Islamic buildings there. I like Chechen dance, and when I saw those Chechen young people dancing in the square i really got touched that peace finally came to this land. Chechen should be an independent country, and Chechen people could handle their own destiny by themselves instead of foreigners~
The collaboration with the Germans was proved wrong and everybody knew that, while Chechen men were fighting on the frontline against Nazis. but it’s just another reason for opressing.
My friend, firstly, the Caucasian peoples were not called up to war because of their behavior and mass desertion. read the documents in Russian, which indicate in what quantity and from which areas they were called to the Great Patriotic War. secondly, there was the North Caucasian legion of the Wehrmacht, in which most of the people were just the same Chechens.
@@gk-dw3bz Your friend, secondly, the Caucasian people were in Canada, fighting the taliban alonside the pinguins, read the documents of Pussian, which i know you won't search for and even if you did you wouldn't find shit, so just believe me, ok?
You forgot to mention Sheikh Mansur (real name Ushurma), he was before Imam Shamil. He is the First Imam of the Caucasus. This he managed to unite all the Caucasians in the fight against the Russian Empire.
I was born 2005 and haven't heard anything about these wars until i recently discovered it. Crazy that it lasted only until a few years before i existed.
I feel that Chechen insurgents have the same rep to the Russians as the Comanche Indians did to western migrants and US Army personnel in the Old West.
9:08 Thats the 131st maikop motor rifle brigade which stormed grozny... You know the convo between chechen and Russian commander? The sad part is they used to be friends during the soviet afghan war and the chechen told the Russian that he could visit Chechnya whenever he wanted and would always be welcomed... During the storm of grozny he was greeted with a "Welcome to hell" and an ambush which killed all of them including the commander with only 15 survivors...
you're on the right track. it is, but it's more on the siege of sarajevo. the countless amounts of shelling, indiscriminate amounts of civilians killed, and the dwindling amount of weapons we (ARBiH) had meant that sarajevo was as much like grozny, except that only the lucky people could leave.
@@deviladvocate8620 i don't consider them as chechens. I've met them in germany. They are from turkey, where they lived since 19th century. They retranslate words of turkish propaganda, about turkish superiority and have nothing to do with chechens, except they ancestors used to live in chechnya
Because the last video had many mistakes, and many oversimplifications which gave a wrong impression of the overall wars. This one has no notable mistakes, only minor things like drawing the wrong plane and such.
Chechnya is almost like an Islamic, and sadly historically less fortunate version of Switzerland, having the disadvantage of being neighbors with Moscow I hope they manage to get to choose their own future eventually (and hopefully not end up too radically Islamic)
We Bosniaks ,( Bosnian Muslims ) For Sure Love Our Chechen Brothers And Sisters. Believe me we know what aggression and unfairness is towards Muslims,we need to unite ,we Bosniaks remember the war crimes and that thousands of Bosniak women and young girls were RAPED.I got nothing but respect ,love and good to say about Chechens.
@@haristhebosniaklion8584 Allah protect and blessing you brothers and sisters, I'm Arab and I remember when i was kid in masjid hearing about what have the Russians and Serbs done 💔
I thought this was going to be about 'chicken' wars, but then after rubbing my eyes and taking a much much closer and careful examination of the screen, oh, its 'Chechen' wars.
Good take Post soviet russia just sucks. If we had told them to go fuck themselves in the 90s aka their messiest and most unstable era they might not be what they are today but instead be broken up into smaller independent republics. Russia will kick off WW3 for real.

Dude, Hitler never entered Chechnya, in fact, he was stopped at the border, check Mozdok battles and Grozny bombings. The 'formal' reason for Chechen Genocide is another rebellion started in 1938. Chechens had an agreement with Soviet Russia that they will have independence if they support reds in Soviet Revolution against the monarchists. Chechens people helped Soviets, but Moscow didn't grant the independence, this resulted in rebellions in 1922, 1924, 1929 and 1938. Russians like to use that cliche to justify the death of over 30% of Chechen and Ingush people and refuse the fact of Genocide, please don't repeat it.

Respect for trying to stay unbiased (albeit mercilessly sarcastic). Though I’d like to add some corrections:
1. There were several attempts at conquering the Caucasus before Catherine II, most notably, under Peter I
2. Grozny wasn’t built to be a Russian city, it was built to be a Soviet one (there are differences between Russian culture and the culture Soviet government tried to enforce upon citizens of the USSR)
3. Mikhail Gorbachev wasn’t the one to dissolve the USSR. The agreement dissolving it was created and enacted by the presidents of Russia,Ukraine and Belarus. Though, I think it might be argued otherwise.
Arguably Soviet culture was just a way Russian culture went during XX century. In fact, USSR was literally communist Russian Empire.
+Alex Butters, you know that "facts" are something that has a basis, right? And not speculation with wishful thinking.
Soviet culture is not Russian culture. Soviet communism was international.
And it was not the "Soviet Russian Empire" in any way. The Russian Empire was divided into parts so that each national minority received its republic. The leadership of the USSR was multinational, and the leader was most often a representative of a different nationality, rather than a Russian. Stalin was Georgian, Khrushchev was Ukrainian, etc.
Soviet culture cant be based on Russian culture. Since Soviet culture completly refused the orthodoxal church and nationalism, which on other hand is a foundation to Russian culture. USSR had its own ideology & culture which was based around working class.
AJ Dude ,no, rather different.
Grozny was built as a fortress to defend Chechnya from Chechens.

Yeah because Russians are "Europeans" and only to them is allowed to do genocides.
Am I right, US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Spain?
Probably because the Chechens were eventually able to return to their lands while the Armenians still have half their ancestral homeland controlled by Turkey?
@@saddamhussein3849 Actually Armenians have their own completely independent nation today located in the Caucasus, whereas the Chechens are still under the firm control of Russian administration.

They were hardened Soviet warriors who also fought in Afghanistan vs 18 year old kids with 2 weeks of training. They also ceased lots of Russian equipment prior to war. Instead of throwing themselves at the enemy, they operated in small squads that were capable of sniping the enemy or destroying a tank. They actually often had better equipment than the Russian kids did because they had supporting groups outside of Russia. Also Arabic mercenaries fought on their side.

Hello there!
I would like to add a remark for your consideration. You have mentioned that Chechen oil issue was integral to Russian federal authorities. However, that was most likely not the case. You see, Chechen oil fields have been exploited since 19th century and they are not as big as their buddies in Azerbaijan. Hence, compared to Siberian, Ural oil output Chechen oil output was and is increasingly becoming negligible (oil production started falling even before the war, if I’m not mistaken).
The major reason for the federal government, however, to not allow Chechnya to break away would be to quell separatist sentiments across all of the Russia (could be another useful addition to the video: to show ethnic structure of Russia). The same way the forces that supported Chechen breakaway could be motivated by creating a catalyst for further disintegration of feverish Russia into smaller parts (so at the end of the day oil could still be on the table but on much greater scale). Peace!
That battle plan seems... familiar
Big boi is back again fam!
I beg to disagree about oil being a big factor in the war. The oil deposits of Chechnya are rather tiny in comparison with the freely available oil resources in Siberia and elsewhere in Russia. The Chechen separatists planned to subsist on oil, but for Russians, it was not really that significant. The oil prices were very low in the 1990s, anyway.
The main factor behind the start of the 1994-1996 war was a political one. There was a real danger of further disintegration of the country. As you correctly mentioned, it was a tough time everywhere in Russia. Nationalist movements were on the rise in many regions; even in predominantly Russian regions separatist ideas were appearing! Many people thought that "living separately" could improve their economic situation. The elites of many regions, such as, e.g., Tatarstan, tried to use those movements as a bargaining card in extorting concessions from the Russian government. If Chechnya had been allowed to separate with impunity, many other regions could attempt the same. The President's intention was to prevent that process. Which he did... but at what cost!
Also, most Russians were dreaming of a "strong hand" already back then. Yeltsin thought that fast and efficient dealing with separatists would improve his ratings. Epic fail...
8:09 sounds familiar...

"Yeah a few big convoys against guerrillas hidden in every house and bush will be great"

Thats the 131st maikop motor rifle brigade which stormed grozny... You know the convo between chechen and Russian commander? The sad part is they used to be friends during the soviet afghan war and the chechen told the Russian that he could visit Chechnya whenever he wanted and would always be welcomed... During the storm of grozny he was greeted with a "Welcome to hell" and an ambush which killed all of them including the commander with only 15 survivors...

you're on the right track. it is, but it's more on the siege of sarajevo.
the countless amounts of shelling, indiscriminate amounts of civilians killed, and the dwindling amount of weapons we (ARBiH) had meant that sarajevo was as much like grozny, except that only the lucky people could leave.

Why did you remake the video?
Because the last video had many mistakes, and many oversimplifications which gave a wrong impression of the overall wars. This one has no notable mistakes, only minor things like drawing the wrong plane and such.
Imo the sino soviet split is very poorly covered online you should try it
Chechnya is almost like an Islamic, and sadly historically less fortunate version of Switzerland, having the disadvantage of being neighbors with Moscow
I hope they manage to get to choose their own future eventually (and hopefully not end up too radically Islamic)
