Wtf based Yeltsin?
I am a Chechen, and I am sincerely pleased that you have told about our recent history for those who have not heard about us or knew little about us. Thank you for your work

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.
After when, they run away from Kherson(and not only). I think the russian solder in Mariupol, it's question time
And if russia just didn't come to the Mariupol or to Grozny, they didn't have to restore anything. And they what ? They don't have problem with social care , work, law, science ?
The different is, there will be no Russia involvement this time around as they will be gone soon
@@conrad1607 The Chechens were literally terrorists.
@@conrad1607 У вас еще электричество есть?
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.
Where can I find this? It's hard for me to Google it so if you wouldn't mind telling me I'd love to read it
That is so tragic.

I love how y’all are doing less known wars and historical events instead of stuff like WW2
Edit: why do people act more like these battles are entertainment for them instead of landmarks in different peoples histories
Yeah, it's good they do stuff the mainstream doesn't cover
Yeah everyone knows stuff about the bigger stuff glad they're doing the smaller things
You must be new here then because alot of wwii was covered
The triple alliance was a unique conflict to cover, more stuff from South/Central America or Middle East would be cool to see
their last video was technically about ww2 lmao
The Caucasus has a very interesting and important history. I hope you make more videos about that region.
It is also one of the hardest hit regions in the geopolitical mess of the collapse of the USSR

My grandfather would always say, you can learn a lot about a place by learning the wars they've been through.

Your grandfather sounds like a wise man.

@@saulgoodmanKAZAKH Yes ! Absolutely
On, the topic of the former USSR, I would love a video on the Soviet-Afghan War so much. It's such a hugely influential conflict with such little recognition.
There was no Soviet-Afghan War.
USSR intervened in a civil war that was going on for a few years before in Afghanistan.
After disposing of the Afghan president Amin who conspired with the US, the Soviet Army were always on the same side with the Afghanistan government, against US founded "mujahedeen" insurgents.
@@aleksejssuharevs866 Obviously. It was a three-day special military operation.
@@aleksejssuharevs866 literally zero evidence Amin conspired with the U.S and we have both Soviet and Afghan PDPA archives from Khlaq and Parcham to prove it. It was absolutely an unwarranted and failed invasion that desperately tried to keep a failing communist regime in power. Nice try vatnik.
@@aleksejssuharevs866 "There was no Soviet-Afghan War."
I think the Afghans would beg to differ. Lay off the vodka Aleksejs, you're trying to deny a decade long, well recorded war, that hundreds of thousands of people experienced, many of whom are still alive.
@@Trisket You think wrong and I already stated - why.
BTW, go ahead and ask Afghans yourself. This will help you get rid of your arrogance based ignorant stereotypic outlook on things you have absolutely no clue about.
I've been interested in the Chechen Wars for a while now, I'm so glad to see you make a video on it. I love your take on things!
Honestly I was waiting for this one for a long time. It's such an important topic concerning the modern day
This is actually insanely cool. Watching your videos shows how history naturally flows from one era to another; SO COOL that you’re showing how history flows smoothly into today! Much love from the Pacific Northwest
I don't think it's natural but there is flow, I give you that
Thank you Armchair Historian, for listing the incredible music used in the description. I can honestly say every single aspect of your videos are incredible. You define all that is fun about learning history.
For 4 years I watch your videos, for 4 years you never cease to amaze me, thanks for your hard and amazing work, cheers form Portugal
Love it when you make videos on more nice subjects that are often overlooked. Keep up the great work!
Putin was never part of any legitimate Democratic election. (16:20)
I love the very modern history videos. You should keep making more of those. Interesting and important.
Great job on the animation. I saw soldiers changing mags, tanks correctly modeled, and that muzzle flash at 13:50 is amazing.
The Chechen wars are almost never talked about so I’m glad your doing a video about it
It just being talked after some time as "war mist" goes off
Who are the good guys in this war? Who should I cheer for?
@@chaosXP3RT it’s a war not a sports game. Don’t cheer for anyone - both sides had good and bad reasons for everything they did, just one side won.
@@KazeHorse what about the Iraq War, War in Afghanistan and Ukrainian Special Operation?
@@chaosXP3RT why not read about the wars with thousands of books and documentations instead of asking strangers who you should base your opinion off
Thanks for making this video, I have always heard about the 2nd Chechen War but never learned much about it
Awesome video. Love some of these more obscure historical events
I find this war and the fallout after it particularly interesting. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for covering other conflicts than WW2. It's a fresh take.
Please keep doing more videos on contemporaneous-ish conflicts, please!! Your videos about recent history are awesome!!
Love him or hate him you gotta admit Putin has done some AMAZING "ladder climbing" in his life. Not long ago I read an article said he was the most powerful man in the world!
And I'm a flag waving nephew of my beloved uncle Sam!
But I gotta give credit where credit is do
That article was definitely written by somebody on the Russian payroll
@@ming9625 you have no idea how easy is it to be a "psychopath". even for you
The Second Chechen War is a textbook example of two axioms:
1. History is never black or white.
And
2. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
Aloha 🤙🏼
But if you watch clossly this war and The ukraine-russian war is The same in the russian strategy point by point but in The actual war is not working Because ukraine is more bigger and better armed that The chechens
Thanks for the episode,

Was waiting a long time for this video! Hope you can do Yeltsons failure in Chechnya as a video aswell!
Good evening Sir, Outstanding informative video and very well done 👌👍 Cheers 🍻
With all my respect towards you I can say that there aren't a lot of people that talked about this subject and I'm proud to see that you did a video regarding the Chechen War. It was a brutal war that not a lot of people talked about
Who was really in a war says a little about it
he is biased calling Ibn AlKhattab extremist, he shouldnt be listened to because he narrate lies too and mix it with facts

And Ethiopia won
If videos like this came out a year sooner, far fewer people would've been surprised about what's happening right now.
Thank you so much for this precious video!
A lot is already being said about the conflict itself and the Putin's sneaky rise, so let me just say this:
The stellar animation of this video is phenomenal. The animation quality of "The Armchair Historian" 's documentaries is constantly progressing towards excellency. Keep up the great work. I love what you and the Armchair team have been doing and will continue to do. Truth with quality.
So well explained my grandfather and my uncle served in this war and unfortunately my uncle died but my grandfather tells me stories abt this ❤

Выпуск получился довольно объективным. Так у вас получается не всегда ,но вы стараетесь.
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.
