    Some people might notice this video is still pretty similar to the original one. The 2nd part about the 2nd war is where you'll really notice the big improvement script-wise. For now, just enjoy the way better production value.
    also Corrections/Disclaimers:
    9:09 - I said New's Year Day 1994, it's actually 1995.
    8:15 - Tu-144s aren't bombers
    1:56 - While I don't strictly say Catherine the Great was the first Russian to venture into the Caucasus, just making it clear, she wasn't

    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"

      And now nearing the anniversary of the invasion Russians in comment sections have mental breakdowns not being able to accept that their once feared nation that “never lost” lied to them.
      Russia was a powerful country with some of the most technologically advanced weapons and engineering marvels like the Ka 52, but their embarrassment was fruit of corruption, terrible strategy in some parts and the unstoppable anger and will of the Ukrainian people

      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.

    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!

It seems that they actually thought that airborne units, tactical strikes and large troop advances would be enough to drive away the Ukrainian military and take Kyiv in 2 days. Now they are bombing apartment buildings and entire units have surrendered willingly. They must be spending massive amounts of resources daily to keep the invasion going.

    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.

    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...
