Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of modern warfare continues with a video explaining how Russia won the Second Chechen War. Previously, we have talked about how Russian lost the First Chechen war ( • How Russia Lost the Fi... ).
The Second Chechen War, a brutal conflict that shook Russia and Chechnya, altered the course of history in the North Caucasus. This video delves into the intricate details surrounding the war, from its origins to its aftermath.
Beginning with the aftermath of the First Chechen War, marked by the devastation of Chechnya's infrastructure and the rise of armed militias, the video explores the complex political landscape that paved the way for the second conflict. It discusses the rise of fundamentalist groups and the deteriorating situation in Chechnya, culminating in the incursion into Dagestan and the subsequent bombings in Russia.
The video analyzes the motives behind Russian involvement in the war, both on a personal and national level, highlighting the political ambitions of figures like Vladimir Putin and Russia's strategic interests in maintaining control over Chechnya to prevent further destabilization within its borders.
Moving on to the start of the war, the video details the military operations launched by the Russian army, including the siege of Grozny, and the fierce resistance put up by Chechen fighters. It examines the strategic maneuvers employed by both sides and the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians caught in the crossfire.
As the war progressed, the video narrates the shifting dynamics within Chechnya, including the co-optation of key Chechen leaders by the Russian government and the gradual decline of the pro-independence movement. It also explores the long-term consequences of the war, including the consolidation of power under figures like Ramzan Kadyrov and the ongoing tensions between Russian nationalists and Chechen authorities.

I dont think there were "captured" parts. It was likely done just like they attempted in Ukraine. Drive on the roads to the capital, take it and make the country give up by losing hope. There doesnt seem to have ever been a "front line", just a city to fight over and random guerilla attacks anywhere.

With the exception of the land north of the Terek, I don't think this is a conflict which had clear lines of demarcation between Russian and Chechen forces. Chechen forces were simply too dispersed, too disorganized, and too factionalized, to claim that they had a frontline with the Russian forces for the Russians to overcome and occupy the land behind. This was a conflict fought according to the status of each town, or hill, or valley, wherever it was in which there were some Chechen forces offering resistance, such as in the conflicts in Afghanistan or Vietnam.

Traitors blew Moscow. Chechen bandits had ties with oligarchs and even the FSB, just look at Raduyev and Berezovinsky ties. That was agravated because part of the reasonable officers of the security agencies resigned in protest to Yeltsin's incompetence in the 90s, that includes Gennady Zaitsev from Alfa. It may be true that the FSB helped, it is not that it was a Putin plan, specially because he was responsible for the FSB reforms of 1998 that brought Alfa and Vympel back from the MVD. Livtnenko is just an asshurt mf who wrote a fiction book after he lost his corruption scheme.

Yeah this was kinda like the main precusor to the war in Ukraine (apart from the Donbas war). Russia literally invaded Georgian territory wayy past the separatist lines, mainly because Putin wanted to overthrow Georgia’s pro-Western government (much like he wanted to in Ukraine). It seems minimal now in comparison to the ongoing conflict but it was very significant, I think it happened during the Beijing Olympics as well 🇨🇳

Both West and Russia had considered Muslim world as a source of threat. So, West didn't intervene into Russia's inner affairs, and Russia supported USA invasion in Afghanistan and only formally condemned invasion in Iraq. As Russia didn't actively take part in USA invasions and had formally condemned most of them, Muslim countries had started to see USA as a primary threat and Chechnya as a part of Russia's inner affairs. A diplomatic victory come across with military one.

As if democracy is a perk that you instantly loose because some authority says so and not more of a complex score-like thing that you can try to evaluate based on a huge multitude of factors that's also hard to be impartial about. Something more like a spectrum. (On a side note seems that in the West you might have a problem figuring out what's binary and what's a spectrum recently, no offense). Sounded almost like we've switched from being something like Sweden to becoming Putin's Saudi Arabia. Not the case. I would also expect somebody who's interested in detailed looks at recent conflicts around the globe to be a wee bit sceptical with the way democracy status is being used as a bludgeon by Western countries against foreign nations. Whatever, don't take that to mean the video's not good, it's great. Love you guys, have a like and sub, thanks

You're certainly right about democracy being a complicated, hard to pin down thing. Frankly, no human ruler is equipped to govern, "It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his steps" as the Bible says. We look forward to the day Jesus Christ will rule over God's kingdom, over every person and all the earth. Thy kingdom come.

'Shamil Basayev, the guerrilla commander holding hundreds of hostages in a hospital in southern Russia, inherited a long and proud ancestral tradition of suicidal resistance to invaders of his native Chechnya. Central to that tradition was the Basayev family’s two-story stone house--built in the year 1010 and now reportedly destroyed by Russian bombs--in the mountain village of Vedeno. In its defense, one Basayev ancestor fought the 14th-Century Central Asian warlord Tamerlane. A great-great-great-grandfather died in wartime service as a deputy to Imam Shamil, for whom Shamil Basayev was named. The imam fought to create an independent Islamic state, held off the czar’s army for four decades and made a last stand at Vedeno before surrendering in 1859. A great-grandfather was killed fighting the Bolshevik army, and his son died when Soviet dictator Josef Stalin deported 800,000 Chechens to Kazakhstan and Siberia in cattle cars in 1944. “If the Russians come in here and take our home, what’s the point of living?” Shamil Basayev’s father, Suleyman, asked a visitor to the stone house last winter after the Russian army had again invaded Chechnya to crush its latest drive for independence. Tragedy befell the Basayev household in a Russian air raid late in May. And after losing his village, his home, his mother, two children, a brother, a sister and six other kin, Basayev did last week what no ancestor--and no other Chechen warrior--had ever done.' A snippet from the Los Angeles Times by Richard Boudreaux.

Corrections: - Aslan Maskhadov was not a secular leader. He was an islamic one that wanted sharia, he was simply more moderate in his approach than people like Shamil Basayev. - The skirmishes in 1998 were not between government forces and fundamentalists. It was between the Yamadayev gang who were traitors just as Kadyrov. They ambushed and killed some people from the Sharia guard and then they started fighting. - Sharia law was not adopted because of pressure from radicals in 1998, it was adopted from the beginning of Ichkeria, but its application was not structured because the ongoing war. Dzhokhar Dudayev is the one who gave the orders to implement it. There are many videos of him and the presidents after him talking about this. - Akhmat Kadyrov didn’t fight the Russians either before he “betrayed” us and neither did his son, the current president. They were secretly working with the Russians from the beginning and their ancestors had connections to the NKVD, the Soviet predecessor of the KGB. They have always been traitors. - Russians also bombed the human corridors and killed thousands of civilians this way. My father and others told me stories of how they were under fire and had to carry wounded women and children whilst being shelled. - The USA also supported Russia. After the first war Russia was collapsing yet Bill Clinton sent billions of dollars to Russia in order to save it from economic collapse. This is all available and public on the internet, even though Russians try to deny this and claim the US supported rebels in Chechnya.

@@Randomguy-wy4xi that may have to do with the fact that people back then had less overall awareness of global conflicts and social media hadn't picked up its pace yet. Furthermore, the conflict in Gaza naturally gets more attention because Israel and Palestine are located in a region considered "holy" by Abrahamic religions, which are followed by over 4 billion people worldwide. And even when the wars in Chechnya were being covered, media in the United States avoided in-depth analyses and stuck to bland headlines that omitted the ridiculous disparity between the Russian and Chechen sides and oversimplified the separatist movement. Outlets didn't want the American public sympathising with the Chechen cause and they certainly didn't want American congressmen proposing a bill to have US intelligence support and arm the Chechen rebels, because the Chechens fighting Russia were Islamists and by the 90s, America and Russia could both agree on Islamists being a common enemy. Today, American officials continue to bring up Chechnya and Syria to take a shot at Russia and Russian officials continue to bring up Iraq and Afghanistan to take a shot at America, but neither of them actually care about the hundreds of thousands of Muslim civilians killed.

The Chechens are a people who existed before the birth of Jesus. Once known as Durdzuks, this indigenous people of the North Caucasus defeated empires such as the Scythians, the Mongols and Russia. They saved the first Georgian king, Pharnavaz I of Iberia, and have been allied with Georgia for over 1,000 years. Their country was already independent before the creation of the United States, so those who say "the Chechen independence fighters were financed by the CIA" need to go back to school. They unhesitatingly deserve their independence from Russia, which deported and genocided them.
