Victims of a war waged by Russia decades ago have united with Ukrainian troops in a high stakes deal against Putin.
. The Chechens won the first war, fighting between 1994 and 1996 against overwhelming firepower and eventually wrecking the fragile legitimacy of the new democratic Russian state. In 1999, when Putin took over as prime minister, he unleashed a second war which crushed the fledgling Chechen Republic.
Alexander admitted that even he used to find Russian propaganda persuasive. “We were constantly brainwashed that Chechens are our enemies. We were told that on TV all day long. Muslims, terrorists, etc. But let’s just say, we didn't have the sources [that would allow us] to assess it critically.
The Chechens fighting for Ukraine also want to clear the name of their nation. “These are not good people, Kadyrovites… There’s a Ukrainian word,[trash]. It's TikTok troops… they [also] have these barrier units—Stalin's method—and no retreat, only forward,” Alexander said, referring to troops who are reportedly tasked with staying behind regular Russian soldiers to shoot any who try to retreat.
