Chechen Wars Part 6: Rise of the Dark Lord

Chechen Wars Part 6: Rise of the Dark Lord

Description

The overreach of the Chechen warlords and the rise of Vladimir Putin combine to precipitate the re-invasion of Chechnya in 1999. Grozny is besieged once again and destroyed in urban combat. Both sides have learned from '94-'96 but this time Russia is committing far more. Staged "terrorist" attacks help Putin rally support, even as he kills his own people.
