Chechnya 20 Years On: A War Erased by Putin (Chechen-Russia Conflict Documentary)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- In the space of just a few years, Chechnya has undergone a remarkable transformation. Gone are the minefields and piles of rubble, replaced with broad avenues, luxury boutiques and glass-fronted skyscrapers. It’s virtually impossible to see there was ever a war.
Award-winning journalist, Manon Loizeau, spent the past 20 years covering the Chechen conflict. She returns to the places she knew so well, filming undercover in Chechnya, to reveal how Putin has ‘pacified’ this once proud land.
Behind the gleaming facade of the new Grozny, Loizeau discovered women and men more terrified than in all the years of war and occupation. A fifth of the population vanished during the war but anyone who tries to remember is eliminated. Chechnya has become a true police state which removes, tortures and kills those who do not submit to the Kremlin’s new order. A journey into the realm of oblivion and terror.
This documentary was produced by Magneto and directed by MANON LOIZEAU. It was first released in 2015.

It’s so sad that people go missing and authorities don’t want to help them, in fact they are the one doing it. I feel so sad for grandparents who have to go through this at this age. It’s so heartbreaking for family members.
Пропадают оболваненные вашими властями
I feel for the old couple who just want their daughters back. Are two girls really that much of a threat to society? And for Mr Kutayev and his family.
Mr Kadyrov, these are just families with children. Showing mercy and humility will make you even greater.
I don’t want to sound grim. But I think the security forces who arrested or kidnapped the two girls do so for more sinister purposes. Like sexual assault.
Kadyrov doesn't understand mercy and humility.
Long live chechnia ..selam from albania
You are just American puppets

Quit being a fascist
The People in the west don't understand the situation , chechnya has like a population of 2 Million compared to Russia over 140 Million , the Russians have air superiority , masses of weapons and troops , they have financial power just everything , if they start a new war it could be the end of chechens , they literally have no chance , the Soviet union collapsed and they were disorganized , the russians underestimated the chechens and lost , they won the second war by targeting civilians , it was a war of terror against civilians , they shot at everything moving , they also mass raped the women to break their spirit .
The Chechnya people have never lived better in it's very long history and it's all thanks to Putin and Moscow money.
Interesting documentary thanks
May God return their two daughters, it's such oppression to do that against people. It describes what lies the 'war on terror' really is - just lies to oppress and kill innocent people
Heartbreaking.😢😢😢
Yes. The poor people.
No
The war was horrible but how long we are going to live in the past
It's now around 20 years and we need to look at how developed chechnya is today.. Education is free, hospitals are free for citizens, From ashes to sky scrappers within 20 years is really what we should appreciate there are some nations which got independent or were created 50-80 years ago and still they ain't developed as chechnya
A lot of people live in the past and don't let go of the cuts inside. It's international man. Not just chechnya
I'm glad you guys are doing better though.
Stalingrad was horrible but how long we are going to live in the past its now around 80 years and we need to look at how developed Stalingrad is. Your comment doesnt really fit in about the gruesome acts of violence by russian forces and kadyrovites during the second chechen war.
@@dayanbadruddinov6414 That's were we are wrong... If you know today's young russian generation they are totally different from their ancestors and today the Russian generation is very broad minded people and accept others with different traditions and culture easily while 100 years ago Russia was completely different from today..
And today we can't say that "Your psycho forefathers invaded our nations now we will attack you " 🤣😂
A Wise man once said
"We should not mess up our PRESENT due to our PAST and then ruin our FUTURE"
@@Sameer00121 This isnt the past. Chechens have been struggling against russian imperialism since 300 years and continue to do so in Ukraine. Your Younger Generation is even worse. Often they are racists and hate people based Off their non slavic Appearance, your country continues their atrocities in syria and Ukraine. If we would Strike for Independence, russia would commit another fourth genocide of the chechen people. But then you say "its the past", but Having Independence and democracy isnt allowed and we need a puppet dictatorship installed by russia? Seen the cellphone Videos which recorded abuses by Kadyrovites in 2006-2007? You probably say "Uhh its in the past" a few months ago hundreds of dissidents in the shalinovsky district have been Kidnapped and many found hanging under Bridges. By your Name its pretty obvious that you are pro russian.
@@Sameer00121 and because the russian youth now is broadminded. I should forget that the guys that murdered 30% of my people are all still alive living well and in the cremlin? Ti tupoi ili shto?
My heart ♥️ is broken
It must suck knowing that people only celebrate you because they have to. It also sucks when the insecurities of one or two wannabe leaders cause strife and pain amongst the people that they are supposed to be leading.
You are wrong. The adrenaline rush you get from the powertrip when you see it, must be amazing.
You forgot to mention that,,,there military make a great TikTok video!👌
😂
Their
any country that has a military parade in front of a religious building is ridiculously mad
Sad moment in history
Don't go against Russia or china. They will allow you to live but you won't act like they do in the middle east. They will NEGER be tolerated in that region. The place is nice now and they live in peace
@@RUTHLESSambition5shut up jew
Do you know that Stalin deported all the Chechyans in 1944?. A quarter of them died Those that were to weak were shot by the Russians. The excuse that Stalin used was terrorism... the same excuse as Putin and his puppet Kadyrov uses.
More recently a fifth of the inhabitants of Grozny were killed by Putin.
Its crazy how tou can see what narcissistic people can put on others. I've got a monster close from me when child and seriously, its the same bullshit but nationwide dimensions. Its so fucking scary. I wish the best for all of those chechens to have peace in their life and respect
Yes.
C'est plus propre que l Irak où l'Afghanistan après le passage des américains et ça c'est énervant pour les gens qui n'aiment pas les russes... Ce reportage est à la limite du racisme non?
Shut up jew
Silence fascist bootlicker.
this is mentality not money believe me !
Wrong.
N'importe quoi.
Those you have interviewed were .5% of the population and chosen. Your biased..
how do you know?
The "Russian-Chechen war", not the Chechen-Russian war. By the name of the video alone, it is already obvious to many in whose imperial propaganda interests this channel works.
10000000000% прав ‼️‼️
Russia began. both times....
Chechnya will be free again one day
@@schaihmansur8298 Yes. That is true.
@@Pzkpfw18 I hope. At the moment Russia is trying to do the same thing to Ukraine. Putin says Ukraine doesn't exist.
I have never been there and dont know but this seems like propaganda.. "Now women must wear vailes" -few minutes later shows a parade were theres plenty of woman not wearing vailes. Also i have seen a few personal vlogs from there and there were woman all over the place not wearing vailes.
I’m from there and I can tell you that everything in this video it’s true. Even more this video is old and now the situation in Chechnya is much worse!
@@포항릇 The worst period was in 2006 when kadyrovtsy recorded their abuses with cellphones
@@포항릇 Thank you. I sympathise with you.
@@포항릇 I am so sorry for you.
@@포항릇 I highly doubt you are a chechen, most likely a Latvian/Estonian/Ukrainian
When I watched this documentary I thought about the Palestinians who are suffering under the terror of israel for almost a century. Free Palestine, Free Chechnya.
When the Palestine loses 3 mio people within 3 years, you can say that it reminds you of it.
I can’t believe that people in Chechnya could forgive and forget what Russia and Putin did to them.
Not many did forgive and forget. The problem is you cannot do much under a russian backed dictatorism which is brutal to people who oppose them. If they cant get you they will get your relatives. God bless ukraine lets hope ukraine will end differently
I cant belive what the USA did to Like half of the planet
@@danielprw512notice how u didn’t even respond to his statement 🤡🤡🤡
That’s what I don’t understand how the generations of families wiped out by Russia can all of the sudden forget . There are Real Chechen people the have never forgotten what Russia has done and are preparing their people to stand up against a Kadyrov and Putin. As of now he is in a coma with possible kidney failure. 🤞
@@fedupamerican6534 They havent forgot and havent forgiven. TV speeches are just that. Cant say anything or you will be taken away tortured and killed. The kadyrovites are traitors. They have maxiumum 5-10% support. 90% of chechens are antikadyrovite and antirussian.
I wonder... if Chechnya had become independent, what would have happened? Would they have been just a pawn for the West just like Ukraine? And then what would have happened to Chechnya?
Thank you!
No western country supported chechnya in the times of 1991-2000. what you talking about, we wanted international aid during the genocide and the western media was basically silent about the war because they supported russia in that period. Dont lie to yourself
@@dayanbadruddinov6414 not entirely true. The media was not pro russian. The opposite. Some western countries were pro chechen. We chechens fucked up many things in that too. Youre right on that we never got true aid and later with the help if Schröder and clienton the west turned more pro russia. We had our small share in fuck ups. Calling a Ghazwat(Yanderbiev and freinds) against all unbeleivers is nothing that the world likes.
*how can we spin this narrative when something so barbaric is currently happening*
@@dayanbadruddinov6414 no it was not basically silent. Just no one demanded russia to stop or set consequences.
This heartbreaking hopefully these people will get justice and they'll one day be free of Russia and it's thugish puppets.
It is sad and our history but u r wrong about our women's, this is our religion and this is our culture and the way we dress, don't mixed things again
Muslimas are free of having to compete based upon looks. They compete based upon piety, being good mothers and spouses.
A lot of women in the West would enjoy being taken for what they do rather than their fortune at picking pretty parents.
@@jamallabarge2665 That's 100% what a culture with ugly women would say.
I agree its called respect
Im not Muslim but i agree with alot of your outlook on life and how you still love each other and maintain respect for people and how you raise the next generation because here in the west things are a mess
Tell that to your grandmother....
Lol undertones of western imperialism, ‘the women who were free before the war’ you know 😂They were more religious before you mean. The Chechens have always been proud Muslims.
Pathetic, cowardly culture
Chechens never was muslims until 18 century ! Islam is question of time in Chechnya more and more young Chechens understanding that islam is full shit
Bro thats Russian imperialism too. Under the pretence of bringing civilization back in the day, and nowadays theyre still holding on to their colonies. At least the western nations (france sucks) granted indepence whereas Russia is still a colonial ruler
@@bramj1130america is the evil empire.
Wake up.
The more we learn of Putin the viler he becomes. My heart goes out to the Chechyan people and the Ukrainian people,
both peoples tortured deported and starved by the Russians under Stalin before and now by Putin
EN LA ADTUALIDA CHECHENIA ES UN PAIS LINDO SEGURO Y CON UNA GRAN ESTAVILIDA DIOS BENDIGA ESTAS REPUBLICAS Y ASUS PUEBLOS
US and European should make better use of their money and wasting time making propaganda videos
Thank you
Would've been a great documentary however because it was written by a French woman and her way of looking at life this documentary is less than it could have been.
У меня один вопрос: где были все эти якобы обеспокоеные проблемами чеченцев людишки, когда нас утюжили ракетами и бомбами, когда на российских блок-постах исчезали люди и после их трупы федералы продавали родственникам за деньги?
I just simply did not know I was a child in America. But with the Ukraine war going on and my friend is there fighting his country, I have tried to understand the conflicts and history.
You can not blame us for the things we can not understand or not seen with our own eyes. I try to learn.
I heard Russia beat chechnya by cheating though. That they bought off chechen soldiers and killed Chechen soldiers in their sleep 😴. Thats harsh man
What you see on the video is not even 10% of what really happens there. but we are fighting for our freedom today, against Russia in Ukraine together with the Ukrainian army, a few Chechen battalions have been formed, there would be more but since the Chechens have Russian Passports, not everyone has the opportunity to fight for freedom with weapons in their hands, but we will win and hopefully we will not be left in the towel by the whole World like 25 Years ago.
whats the other 90%?
What is your problem your country looks peaceful now .. people just wants to make trouble even though the current situation of the country is stable
Thank you
WHAT??? Are you not paying attention? Do you know nothing of history?Taken in by a Potemkin town!!!
i have been telling this for years, atlast peace and some shitheads are still trying to ignite an unnecessary spark, fucken lunatics, kadyrov knows this so he will imprison anyone who tries to disturb peace!
The "elite" soldiers who were slaugtered in ukraine as cannonfodder
They took mariopol 😂😂😂😂
@@abhisheksankarj7763 No they didnt. Kadyrovites never fight. The "conscripts" more like drafts did it. Kadyrovites dont fight. Every chechen knows that. They are too rich to die.
U really don't know what the Chechens did and how bad their rule was in 1995-2000 was, do you ?
Ruzzian bots were working overtime in this comment section, I see.
This is a one -sided documentary, and I would like to see a documentary from the other perspective.
very sad to see a proud nation, like the chechens, turn into sheep and forget what independence means. your fathers died for nothing ... i am sorry for your nation, god bless you all
Lead the independence movement then
Sesuatu yang tidak masuk akal tapi mungkin, bisa berdamai dengan pemerintahan Rusia.1000✌️
🌹Lovely Chechnya 🌹my fewrite quntry i love Chechen piopel 👌🌹
Omg. Just mind your business. Thank god they made peace n rebuild. Better than before.
I don't understand why such videos are posted on RUclips. We remember that Europe and Russia would commit atrocities on the territory of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.
Europe? Who else did chechnya fight in Europe outside of Russia?
@@brianticas7671 Die I write that Chechnya was at war with someone? 🤦♀️
Learn to stop propaganda and let people live their lives! Nosy journalists who are always causing trouble.
this american propaganda chanel !!!!
Not a good story to be heard ..i feel sad for them ....may Allah help them to justice
Such a strange situation. They never bent the knee and now they not only bent the knee but carry the water
I think the Chechen people and the leadership of Chechnya are appalled at the behavior of Hamas toward the Jewish people.
I doubt it they with Palestine not you liars and warmongers
No . The leadership of Chechnya obly thinks what Putin wants them to think. Fuck Hamas and fuck Putin
Nuh uh
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته الله أكبر
All your countrymen failed you by letting this happen😢
Whaaa whaaaa
People living peacefully Finally, western Rusophobes crying
Step back and look what your
Doing
I hope this channel, DISPATCH, will make the same documentary about Palestine?!
I hope not.
Thank you
Poor girl😢7:00
Nobel peace prize lol
Did zelenksy make that documentary?
1st . Fuck Russia. 2nd, when this was made ,Zeleski and Putin were buddies.
WHy? because its truthful?
Look at Grozny now!!
@ 16.14 😀
The destruction of Chechnya could not have happened without the 'help' of US-NED and its NATO allies forces.
As a Muslim the present Chechnya reflect true Islamic aspirations despite the hate of the West against Islam. Slava Russia ! Bravo Putin.
The US made Russia kill 200,000 Chechens? Kinda messed up you would say bravo Putin you must hate Muslims quite a bit
Slava Israel
Your no Chechen. How can be the dog of someone who killed your ancestors
What? 😂 what is your point ? I don't understand what you are saying
@@turekt2475"liberated"?more like enslaved, kadyrov himself is a radical islamist with a neo Stalinist touch, Russia either killed or exiled all of the moderate Chechen leadership and just for the record salafi jihadism was never popular in Chechnya it's mostly Russian warmongering/islamophobic and racist propaganda.
Lies against russia an chenya
ТАК И БУДЕТ...

Ramzan is an awesome guy, smashes any western homosexual influence, leads his men to be men, and keeps women acting as women.
I agree
Actually Ramzan is known to be trans in his private circle...
And loves his goats literally 😅
I fully support Ramzan, the born-again Chechnya, and Long Live Putin.
ON THE ISSUE OF NEO-LIBERAL PRIDE-LGBTQ.
"I take the traditional approach that a woman is a woman, a man is a man! Mom is mom. Father is father."
~ Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, President of the Russian Federation since 2012.
Well former chechen presidents were no different. Ramzan on the other hand is also a tranny to putin in his freetime
So free during the war. Listen to yourself 😂
