"Chechnya is a school for us": about the events of August 1996 in Grozny before the signing of the Khasavyurt agreements

2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the Khasavyurt agreements. They were signed on August 31, 1996, when Russian politicians and representatives of the command sat down at the same table with the leaders of terrorist groups in the North Caucasus, whom the West stubbornly called "freedom fighters".

Almost a quarter of a century has passed, but the question is still relevant: how was this even possible? How did militant groups manage to take control of Grozny in August 1996, which at that time was completely controlled by federal troops?

The events in Chechnya a quarter-century ago really developed surprisingly and strangely, very strange ... Gangs of militants were able not only to infiltrate the city, but also to create long-term fortifications, firing points in its various regions. And all this actually happened under the noses of the generals from various then power departments of the Russian Federation.

The commander (at that time) of the troops, General Pulikovsky, in his interviews repeatedly stated that there were hundreds of officers in the administrative buildings of Grozny, with weapons, from stocks of ammunition, food and medicine, which could be enough for at least a month. At the same time, according to Pulikovsky, it turned out that most of the servicemen in Grozny "were not combat-ready."

One of the statements:

Imagine if, during the Great Patriotic War, soldiers and officers fought for three months, and would know that in three months they will be replaced by others. That was exactly how it was in Chechnya. Many officers, for example, from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, simply did not know how to fight. They knew how to solve crimes, fight crime, theft, etc.

The video, published on the Sladkov + channel, tells about the fighting in Grozny in August 1996, the heroic actions of the paratroopers, as well as what is usually called a betrayal on the part of top officials. Reflections are presented on how it happened that agreements with the militants were discussed at the moment when the militants were surrounded in Grozny and, in fact, had no chance to get out of there.

Chechnya is our shame, but it is also a school for us ...

Betrayal of the nomenclature of the people of the USSR.

[Proxima]

Seriously speaking, Russia was then on the verge of liquidation. When representatives of the state with thugs-thugs sit equally at the negotiating table, when they fulfill their requirements, and then let them go home with an honorable escort (Budenovsk), then the prestige of the state falls below the plinth. Why, then, is such a state necessary if it is not able to perform even primitive functions to protect its citizens ?! All this was calculated by the non-human bandits and those who financed them ..

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

It all started with the collapse of the USSR.

[Niko]

Quote: "It all started with the collapse of the USSR" well, don't be so arrogant: EVERYTHING began either with a "big bang" or with "in the beginning God created heaven and earth" depending on religion

[Incvizitor]

It began with the degradation of the USSR and the collapse of its consequence.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

The main reasons are the degradation and betrayal of the ruling class.

[Grognag]

In fact, it is from there that nationalism's legs grow out of the economy, so it's not about those who periodically chop their heads, but those who create such conditions in the regions

[Mairos]

Yes, they do. But not always in peace and not always in agreement, unfortunately. History shows that the nationalism of many peoples of great Russia (imperial or Soviet) is off the charts. One has only to weaken the central government, as they immediately strive to "run away", along the way, genocide all "non-local" people. So it was at the beginning of the 20th century, the revolution and after, it was the same in the 90s. Unfortunately, the consolidation of the peoples of Russia directly depends on the strength and decisiveness of the authorities in Moscow.

Not certainly in that way. Akhmadshah's nephew in an interview with Tatarstan journalists named the traitors, and these are not only the first persons of the union republics and Shevardnadze. One of the versions, before the withdrawal of troops, a functionary of the Central Committee and a certain military rank established transit from Afghanistan through Tashkent, Moscow, Grozny. When Dudayev became president of Chechnya, flights became without Tashkent and Moscow. Does anyone remember the composition of Dudaev's government? Only the Minister of Health was there without a conviction for banditry, murder, rape. Now it is clear . why and by whom independent Chechnya was proclaimed as a springboard for terrorism.

sharing money - and then and now. It is beneficial to bow - bow to the owner, loyalty was paid. it was more profitable (more dough) - there were people for the Khasavyurt world. they climbed to the "world". now this is how the bidding takes place for the right heroes.

and the stupidest question - who is the senior in Grozny? The government of Chechnya, the operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Defense, right- (left semi-) defenders?
who is the power? gave the command to put things in order?

and I clearly remember - the hardliners were defeated (by such an assault on the militants) politicians (LebedA). the secretary of the Security Council was gaining political weight.

[demo]

I am at the age when the personal fades into the background. And the concept of Motherland comes to the first place.
Those. I have troubles in my personal life less frustrating than negative events in the life of my country.
Therefore, your "average" approach - Does it concern you? Not? What are you fussing about? - I am not satisfied.
Twenty or twenty-five years ago I was equally purple - there is Chechnya, there is no Chechnya.
If only they did not touch me.
Today everything is different.
The presence of such an "enclave" on the territory of Russia is a challenge to moral norms, law, traditions and customs. Both Russians and Chechens.
You will ride across the Chechen Republic, and if you have the opportunity, then look at dozens of mini refineries that annually process more than 2 million tons of oil from the depths of Chechnya.
Then find out where these oil products go (to which port). Then, how much does the budget of the Russian Federation receive from this money.
Then I will drink to the peace of your soul. Hardly anyone will see your body.
So what does the clamp have to do with it?
For people like you, any semantic load is extremely contraindicated.

[seacap]

Svidomye, the Balts, etc. also started by shouting all the time how much you can feed the Muscovites, and since the end of the 80s we have been shouting how much you can feed the parasites in the army, so in the 90s they almost destroyed them at the root, now they continue to mock veterans of the non-profit and in / retirees, the only category in the world subjected to humiliating discrimination on the basis of professionalism in the appointment of pensions.

[adler87]

Are military pensioners discriminated against? Oh how! And then how, to whom have you been told, will you go to retirement not in 5 years, but in 10?

[adler87]

Are military pensioners discriminated against? Oh how! And then how, to whom have you been told, will you go to retirement not in 5 years, but in 10?

[seacap]

Do not lump everything together, at the moment we are talking about in / pensioners, a crime in the form of a pension reform is not being considered at the moment. We are talking about a reduction coefficient only when calculating the pension provision in / with 1,9, and in / for retirees before 2000, no recalculation was made at all and was calculated, in fact, from the monetary allowance of SA, and these are people who went through all interethnic conflicts, Afghan, etc., who were spat and thrown into tents with their families in the middle of the field, humiliated, did not pay for months ,those. who remained faithful to the oath and duty kept the traditions and what is now called and what they are proud of, the RVS and the Navy

[adler87]

How is it not to lump everything together, if the military pension is paid from the budget, which is filled not by the military, but by hard workers like me? The point is that I should retire at 65 and die at 67, statistics. And the military pensioners, as they left at the age of 29 (well, you have ALL gone through ALL conflicts, and with me, all the military leave at 29), and they leave. Well, the coefficient was lowered, nothing, you will survive.
And they spat on the military, it is known why, in Soviet times it was a privileged stratum of society, it was only their wives who could not work for them, they were first of all provided with apartments, and we civilians waited for 10 years, living in the far north in a one-room apartment with amenities on the street, and watched the young lieutenant drive into a comfortable two-story apartment in a new five-story building. That's okay. It was me, a second-year student of the Penza Polytechnic University, who was not allowed into the military center of the military town, as unworthy. This is what I saw enough of officers in the army on a draft for 2 years: a drunk company commander who drove in his six to the parade ground at 12 am and yelling "Daytime!" also the merit of the ochs. And it happened, they came after hard work at night, at 90 o'clock, and we had nothing to eat, no supper, no bread, thanks to the officers. In tents with families, not only the military lived, but in the XNUMXs the military had a normal patch, unlike the rest of the people, and had rations, which the rest did not have at all. And the military immediately forgot the oath, when it was possible to leave for a warm place, immediately the report and legs in hand and galloped off. No need to cry here, it should be a shame, discriminated against.

[Nikon O'Conor]

For you, maybe. For Russia, this is a springboard, a fortress and a whip. For everyone in the south will start acting against Russia. Were you not impressed when a few years ago Akhmatovich in 4 hours on alarm gathered 40000 fighters in full gear at the stadium, or how in 2008 the Georgians bursting with plugging their anuses, knowing that the Chechen battalion was catching up from behind?
Yes, there was a war, but we must remember. But in history we fought a lot with whom now to live and not be friends with anyone? Tell the Tatars and Bashkirs.

[VORON538]

The stump is clear, not happy. At times your crushed by the crown of the name, cries sometimes break out that Ukraine has the right to part of the territory of Russia. I think you understand that these 40.000 will not be on the side of Kiev! ask the Georgians :)))

The main thing is not to repeat the mistakes of the Western Roman Empire - they supported and paid for whole legions of "barbarians" (in their understanding), and these legions then plundered Rome themselves. Simply flooding the national republics with dough is a direct path to seperatism, with the slightest weakening of the central government. So it happened with the USSR. Like there was a single and great Soviet people, but, in fact, they didn't exist.

This is not the first time I have reviewed it. Once again I am convinced that it is necessary to switch to the brigade organization.

And how did this help 131 brigades?

[Doctor]

And how did this help 131 brigades?

A word to the same Pulikovsky:

A lot has been said about this event, but one thing is true - the brigade was the only a military unit that managed to complete the assigned task during the assault on Grozny, although all units that were on the outskirts of the city received similar orders.
The personnel of the brigade managed to break through the defenses of the militants and reach the designated area, taking designated positions near the railway station. And it is not their fault that others could not do this, that they alone had to repulse the attacks of superior enemy forces.

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: Arzt

the brigade turned out to be the only military unit that managed to complete the assigned task during the assault on Grozny,

What? Yes, he went to hell. Horns and legs remained from the 131st brigade.

[Doctor]

What? Yes, he went to hell. Horns and legs remained from the 131st brigade.

From the BRIGADE?

The group "North" included in Grozny:

400 people from 276 MSE. This is the BATALION.
426 from 81 ms. This is also a BATALION.
446 from 131 ms. Another BATALION.

Total 1300. Regiment. Under the command of a general.
Losses of 131 msb - 157 out of 446. A lot. But everything is relative.
During the Second World War, they would not even be taken out for reorganization.

The question is different.
We are at war with WINEGRETS. Nobody knows anyone, there is no military coordination, the commander was appointed 3 weeks ago.

Watch the video from 7 minutes. Whoever was there. From paratroopers to security officers.

But it could have been different.
As in Ancient Rome.
Raised LEGION (6000 - brigade).
Well-coordinated.
With downed units.
With permanent commanders who know the capabilities of the soldiers.
And sent to Gaul.
And at the point of permanent deployment they left the commandant's battalion so that the walls would not be dismantled.

[Doctor]

What are you driving that? Yes, Savin was shouted openly so that he did not create panic when they were hollowed out from all sides.

Not about that. About the number of troops.

The brigade is 4000 - 6000 people.

And 131 entered Grozny from 446 MSB. Battalion.

And in the newspapers they smashed the BRIGADE. Oh-ho-ho! What warriors!

[Mordvin 3]

Documents are open, check. To clarify, I'm only talking about those who entered the city.

In total, the "North" group is about 4000. Brigade.
And the combined detachment of the 131st brigade in 1469. So the losses are about 10%.

 Show / Hide text

The "North" group included the 131st motorized rifle brigade, the 81st SMR and the 276th SMR.

The consolidated detachment of the 131st Omsb Brigade under the command of Colonel I. Savin numbered 1469 personnel, 42 infantry fighting vehicles, 20 tanks and 16 artillery pieces. The brigade was located - 1msb on the southern slopes of the Tersk ridge in the area 3 km north of Sadovoe, 2msb concentrated in the MTF area 5 km north of Alkhan-Churtsky.

The 81st MRP of the 90th TD under the command of Colonel A. Yaroslavtsev numbered 1331 people (including 157 officers, it is characteristic that 66 officers in the platoon-company link had only a military department of a civilian university behind them.), 96 BMP, 31 tank (T-80BV) and 24 artillery pieces. The 1st MSB regiment was also concentrated in the MTF area 5 km north of Alkhan-Churtsky. 2msb and 276msp - on the northern slopes of the Tersk ridge in areas with centers 6 km north. Sadovoe and 2 km north-west of Yastrebinaya.

The 276th mechanized infantry division of the 34th mechanized infantry division under the command of Colonel A. Bunin numbered 1297 people, 73 infantry fighting vehicles, 31 tanks and 24 artillery pieces.
The general command of the "North" group was carried out by Major General K.B. Pulikovsky, the whole group consisted of 4097 people, 82 tanks, 211 infantry fighting vehicles, 64 guns and mortars.

Here are just Colonel I. Savin DIE when leaving the encirclement, like his entire group. Almost all the equipment of the Maykop "brigade" remained the same somewhere in Grozny. You can read the "statistics of losses" and think that "a lot of forces" remained in the "Maikop brigade" - in reality, in the first days of January 1995 - the REGULATED Detachment of the 131st Motorized Rifle Brigade was RAGMED and temporarily lost its combat capability.

Not fundamentally.
The question is in the number of tactical units for the war.

The experience of history teaches that they are fighting in battalions (250-500 people) brought together in brigades (4000-6), and not regiments and divisions.

Strength "divisions".

This is BEFORE the operation. And in the process, the "divisions" could be reduced to a thousand.

There are 3 men in 106 "armies". Do you get it?

We won the Great Patriotic War with BRIGADS. Which were called divisions.

From the point of view of the number of stars and gaps on the shoulder straps, this is, of course, correct.

Can you tell me what the column Personnel of the company means?

[Doctor]

Sorry, I didn’t quite understand.

This is the forward assault force of the "divisions".

Naturally, not the entire 106-strong group of Soviet troops took a direct part in the assault. Fortified lines and enemy positions were overcome by specially trained sub-divisions: assault groups and assault detachments, the basis of which were rifle companies of active fighters. Each army numbered 9-10 thousand.

The assault on Koenigsberg in 1945: the number and losses of the opposing sides and the civilian population.

it's not about the name, and not even about the number of people in the compound. The whole trick is in the number of people directly participating in the battle and in the means of strengthening.
So, in the Second World War they acted in divisions. Because the composition includes parts of reinforcement, maintenance, and it can act independently.
The brigade of the modern army is a regiment with the means of reinforcing the division. An attempt to reduce personnel to increase shock capabilities.

It's about balance.
Between power and control.

Vasilevsky near Konigsberg considered the total strength of the tactical formation to be about 4000, with about 1000 directly participating in the battle.
Pulikovsky near Grozny - too.

[Glory1974]

It's about balance.
Between power and control.

This is closer to the topic. Therefore, for combined arms combat, one method is used to build up troops in one or two echelons with or without the allocation of reserves, and assault groups are formed to conduct combat in the city. All this is spelled out in the combat manual.
A division is fighting or a brigade, it has nothing to do with it.
This is a matter of tactics.

[Doctor]

A division is fighting or a brigade, it has nothing to do with it.
This is a matter of tactics.

Why were Vasilevsky and Pulikovsky satisfied with the number of connections of about 4000?
Why did they not bring the division to a full-fledged state - 9000 and 14000, respectively?

Why in the legion of Romans 4000-6000 in different years?
Not 10000 - 12000?

Why is the number of peacekeepers in Karabakh 1700? And will it stay the same?
(Wanguyu, no, he won't. It will be brought to a minimum of 3000-3500. But not up to 12000).

[Glory1974]

Why were Vasilevsky and Pulikovsky satisfied with the number of connections of about 4000?

if it is a combined arms battle, in defense, the division occupies up to 40 km along the front, in the offensive, 10-15 km.
In your listed examples, do you need such a scale? Obviously not. Moreover, a brigade or other unit cannot go into battle at the same time. At least it is advanced by battalion columns, that is, at least 3 paths of movement. But even the battalion cannot, stretching out in a column of 5-7 km long, go to the assault. Therefore, depending on the conditions, elements of the battle order are created.
The peacekeepers in Karabakh do not need to keep the front 40 km, they do not need to storm the fortified city, for their tasks they have formed their own battle formation.
The combat manual tells how to act, what number is needed to complete the combat mission. Based on this, the battle formation is being built.

[Doctor]

The combat manual tells how to act, what number is needed to complete the combat mission. Based on this, the battle formation is being built.

The order of battle is already the formation of the formation.
And we are talking about the original organization.

In 1945, the staff of the division 04 / 550-558 operated - 9543 people.
Divisions of the USSR in the 80s - 11000-14000 people.
Each staff unit seemed to be scientifically substantiated, proven and approved.

However, Vasilevsky did not combine 27 "divisions" at 3500-4500 in 10-12 at 9500.
And Pulikovsky cost 1/3 of a full-fledged division.

It's just that such connections are unmanageable. Only the Germans succeeded. But if you look closely, they were divided into 2 or even 3 groups in battle.

[Nikon O'Conor]

He served in 2002-2004. Officers were recruited from the Strategic Missile Forces, at will (who wants seniority and combat). Our divisional commander, the colonel, drove without fail for the "general". We, the soldiers, asked with them, in companies, did not take. Only officers and only at will. Those.

He served in 2002-2004. Officers were recruited from the Strategic Missile Forces, at will (who wants seniority and combat). Our divisional commander, the colonel, drove without fail for the "general". We, the soldiers, asked with them, in companies, did not take. Only officers and only at will. Those. Such a hodgepodge was in the 2nd Chechen war, and in the subsequent counter-terrorism ...

Solyanka all the time. This is the problem. Not only are they from different parts, but also from different species and genera they are shoveled into a heap.

1980 Panjshir operation.

According to the operation plan, a tactical group of five battalions (three Soviet and two Afghan) with a total number of 1000 fighters.
For fire support, a helicopter squadron and artillery units were attached.
The deputy commander of the 40th Army was appointed as the head of the operation Maj.-Gen. Pechevoy Leonid Nikolaevich.

1982 Panjshir operation

According to the plan of the operation, the territory of the Panjshir Gorge was divided into three zones, in each of which the summary tactical grouping of the 40th Army and the DRA Armed Forces:
The tactical group consisted of the 40th Army - of 108th Mechanized Infantry Division (177th MRR, 180th MRR, 181st MRR, 781st orb, artillery division) and 191st OMR. From the Armed Forces of the DRA - units of the 8th Infantry Division (332nd Regiment, 58th Regiment, 72nd Regiment) ...

1984 Panjshir operation
In total, 33 were involved in the operation. battalion (20 Soviet, 13 Afghan).
The red herring began on April 14 with the advance parts 108th Mechanized Infantry Division, 191st Motorized Rifle Division, 395th Motorized Rifle Division, 201st Motorized Infantry Division, 8th and 20th Infantry Divisions of the DRA Armed Forces.

To block the enemy's retreat to the north from the Panjshir Gorge to the Andarab Valley, of 201st Mechanized Infantry Division and 350th Infantry Regiment of the 103rd Guards. airborne

Etc.

Write nonsense. From not knowing or not understanding.

Write nonsense. From not knowing or not understanding.

View the number of tactical formations from Romans to Syria.
Everywhere the same thing.

Borodino for example:

1st Infantry building - 23200 people.

Composition:
5th Infantry "division"
14th Infantry "division"
3rd Cavalry Brigade
1st backup art. brigade
Grodno hussar regiment
pioneer company Gerua
two Don Cossack regiments

2st Infantry building - 14600 people.
2 infantry "divisions"and the hussar regiment

3st Infantry building - 17100 people.

1th Grenadier "division"
3th Infantry "division"
2 combined grenadier battalions,
Life Guard Cossack Regiment
1st Teptyar Cossack Regiment
2nd cavalry artillery company.

Divide the total strength by the number of units (taking into account the smaller in cavalry and arte) or see the real one.

You will find the same 3000 - 6000 people.
TEAM.
And this is NOT RANDOM.

Man, are you not a motorized rifle regiment dentist?

[Doctor]

Man, are you not a motorized rifle regiment dentist?

A doctor, not a dentist. I visited motorized rifle regiments, but did not serve.
He served in brigades. And divisions, of course.

But he taught at the departments of OT the mythical, vitrual staff of the MSE.
Type of this:

Which I never saw in my life.

[Runway]

Then the anecdote about the speech of a dentist at the international congress of military doctors should know.
It's not worth talking about the "picture" and the texture (I also had to have 3/2/50, but it was in the period 1/0/17 - officers / warrant officers / conscripts, but the task is according to the "staff").
So your example of operations (the composition of the grouping per task) is not correct.

This is reality.
Full-fledged divisions exist in the minds of staff strategists, mobilization plans, and (sometimes) in permanent deployment points.
For example, my head of the course started his service in a full-fledged SME, with a number of about 2400. But that was in the Western Group of Forces.
And this is all before the start of the real war.

in the USSR there were divisions of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd echelons. In the WGV, there were fully equipped units according to wartime states. In the inner districts, the divisions were staffed according to the peacetime staff, and in the heart of the country they were generally cadre: officers and soldiers for the maintenance and protection of equipment.
In the event of war, all units and formations are staffed up to a full staff, because in peacetime it makes no sense to keep such a horde.

It's like that. But we are talking a little about something else.

The 2nd Guards Taman Division is standing near Moscow. The one that took Königsberg.

Chechnya began. That would be to take and raise this division and send it in full strength there. And what, part of it worked, the commanders are all their own, they know the technique, the tactics at the Alabino training ground have been worked out together for more than one year.

But no.
The 1st regiment is on its way, then the 15th. There they join some incomprehensible groups, no one knows anyone, the rear from Siberia, reconnaissance from the Urals, arts from the Volga region, parachutes are swarming right there ( ), cops with dogs and screwy sailors (where without them).

All this gang of Makhnovists is sent to take the city. With a natural outcome.

And why? Because a division is also an uncontrollable organism. Already during loading and mooring, 50 people will be strangled by the technicians.

Brigade. 6000 maximum. The only way.

[Nikon O'Conor]

Indeed, my stepfather participated in the Panjshir. But I don’t know which one, he doesn’t like to talk about the war at all. He's a border guard. Let's count: He is 62 + 17 years old + 5 years of institute and it is 84th year. I went there with a summer jacket, went out as an elder with a medal "For Courage".

But it could have been different.
As in Ancient Rome.
Raised LEGION (6000 - brigade).
Well-coordinated.
With downed units.
With permanent commanders who know the capabilities of the soldiers.
And sent to Gaul.
And at the point of permanent deployment they left the commandant's battalion so that the walls would not be dismantled.

Also add - legionnaires - contract soldiers with a 20 year contract (the specific number of years of service in the legion varied ...). The classic number of fighters in the LEGION is 4200 infantry (30 maniples) and 300 horsemen (10 turms).

[Doctor]

The classic number of fighters in the LEGION is 4200 infantry (30 maniples) and 300 horsemen (10 turms).

Manipulas are already companies.

Cohorts.

Each legion consisted of 10 cohorts, ranging in size from 360 to 555 people in different years.

The predecessors of modern battalions.

Do not forget about the LEGIONARY service life - 20 years. When the "Establishment of Constitutional Order in Chechnya" began (1994), the term of service was reduced to 1,5 years ...

What does it have to do with it at all.

Initially, we are talking about the fact that since the time of Rome, 4000-6000 people have actually been fighting in tactical formations with divisions into units of 300-500, that is, in brigades and battalions.

Even when these brigades are called divisions.

Therefore, it is necessary to consolidate the existing order of things and move to a brigade organization.

Despite the fact that in the LEGION during a combat campaign, the soldiers do not change every 3-6 months.

[seacap]

According to the treaties, at that time we did not have the right to move more than a battalion across the European part of the country, so consolidated reinforced battalions from units and formations operated in Chechnya. b / d units did not affect, in this case the loss of military equipment had a greater impact than l / s.

[Glory1974]

the brigade turned out to be the only military unit that managed to complete the assigned task during the assault on Grozny,

The brigade stormed nothing. The marching column went to the indicated positions, did not meet resistance. From the headquarters of the group they gave her the command to move on. As a result, the brigade went to the railway station and found itself inside the militants' defensive ring. As a result, it turned out to be surrounded and fought heroically, having lost almost all equipment and a lot of people.
I respect Pulikovsky, he is a military general, he lost his son in that war, but for such a command of the brigade he must be shot.
When the brigade reached the station, it was shown live on local television. Therefore, the truth is not the same as in your quote.

Such a normal Chechen ponte what? Only here is his "devotion" to Moscow for the time being and he prepares these fighters for something completely different. Waiting. I would also have probed him about his connections with the Turkish and British special services.

Who prompted Yeltsin such a hypocritical horror as "Take sovereignty, as much as you want." So they began to take it. Rotten power, rotten outskirts. Yes, in fact, the oligarchs took power at that time. I watched this video with pain. And what did the people, the heroes of this experience video, we will not fully find out.

I believe that the Minsk agreements are not far from the 1996 agreements - the same betrayal ...

[Basarev]

But in reality - a large-scale trade in interests. The Kremlin almost openly played along with the militants. You had to be consistent and principled. And once it was said once - no negotiations with terrorists - then it was necessary to press them and press them, not to accept surrender and not to take prisoners. And just do not hesitate to kill everyone who took up arms against the feds. That's right in general, everyone, without examining any titles, names, or regalia.

[Glory1974]

The Kremlin almost openly played along with the militants.

I agree with you. In the books of Troshev and Kulikov, the names of some people from Yeltsin's entourage are named, who did not allow the troops to fight. For example, Lobov forbade the use of aircraft and artillery at certain moments. As Troshev writes in his book, as a result Major Zotov's company died, which was sent to the gorge, but was not supported by fire as planned. If this is not betrayal, then what is betrayal?
