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 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.

I remember I met a kid in California high-school. He came from Dagestan, Russia. He said that he's dad was taken away from home by armored Chechens. He never saw him again.

Russia killed more than 300000 Chechen civilians out of 1000000 population. The Chechen people only wanted freedom from this evil country so called “Russia”

Ironically Russia (Soviet Union if correctly) provoked this conflict breaking up with other republics and letting nationalism raise just like US helped Ben Laden raise.

About life during the 2nd chechen war, i recommend the comic "Amère Russie" by Doucoudray and Aurélien. It's the story of a russian mother who has no news from his conscript son sent to fight in Chechnya, and her journey to Grozny to find him. It's heartbreaking and awesome, totally recommended

Russian army suffered much betrayals from it's own politicians during 90s. Just like when deputy of Russian Government comes with squad of Chechens to encircled Russian soldiers and suggests giving up while it's known that after giving up they will be killed
