How a Thousand Chechens Brought Moscow to Its Knees

6 August 1996 will forever go down in history as a feat of the Chechen people. On this day, the operation to liberate Grozny began – swift, desperate, and at the same time, thought out to the smallest detail. The invasion of the mujahideen brought Moscow to its knees, forcing it to sign the Khasavyurt Accords. In Russia, they are still cursed, calling the signatories from the Kremlin cowards and traitors to the Motherland. This document put an end to the First Russian-Chechen War on the terms of the Chechens. Then, being in the minority, they were able to change the course of history. Details of the operation and the memories of its participants are in this video.
