Missing Lives: Disappearances & Impunity in North Caucasus

[heilKABKA3]

RUSSIANS = BARBARS

[botchedonce]

Why doesn't this Memorial group gop into Islamic countries and show how non-muslims are treated. Go into Saudi Arabia and see what they do to people who reject Islam or teach Christ. How are Christians and Copts treated in Egypty today. And so on.

[DemBombs]

Russia should take all their muslims, put them there, and just give them independence... no more terrorism will happen.

[zzXDarKXzz]

The Russian Military shows no mercy,but their not brute murderers.War happens,its just a part of life.

[Panasonic295]

Russia do not tolerate any islamic bullshit they will never have their independence in Chechnya its just not going to happen. The soon muslims realize that the better for them.

[3li0n]

а хотите умереть и попасть в рай, пожалуста, вас никто не держит в этом мире.

[3li0n]

чечню не отдадут, будете драться до конца, вас всех убъют.

[mkultra100]

I cannot muster an iota of empathy for Chechnya after seeing the Dagestan beheading video in which five Russian conscripts had they throats slashed one by one for Chechan rebels AFTER people promised POW status, and they Rebels laughing and taunting the boys whilst they bled to death. The Chechans are lower than animals, for an animal would never do such a thing. Learn about these savages and don't be fooled by pro-Chechan propganda.

[munsyi]

they did it only 5 but russian did for 5000.

[kksiala]

So wrong, dude, there are evil people on both sides. The difference is the the russian are there "officially" and have been provedn to systematically kill rape and torture civilians. Beheadings are carried out by both sides - even Nato forces have been accused of it and British soldiers did it in the Falklands in the 80s.

[noeszigi]

@mkultra100 i totally agree with you

[istayswhite]

not a lot of people know this but chechens started coming down from the moutains in the early 90s, they killed and raped ethnic russians, they did so because USSR was falling apart and took advantage of the situation.

basically there was ethnic cleansing and very few people know about this.

[Felix0072]

Chechens bring it upon themselves. If they wanted their own country, and not for Islamic purposes, they should have never used arms to defend their rights. That way the rest of the world would have sided with the Chechen cause. But still, I back Russia because if we don't stop the Islamic advancement now, no one will.

[PrinceDimeXI]

dont give us that bullshit!! neither one of you fucks are SANE!!! both of you are guilty of Hannis crimes against humanity

[mkultra100]

What is "Hannis"? I think you are making up words. Did you mean "heinous"?

[chicagofriends]

Russia is the terrorist

[AnaMurida]

may God bestow peace upon Kavkaz. amin.

[kenzieg88]

This video is to show the social injustices of the world and to educate people so they can take action to help others, no matter what country they're from. It's sad that over half these comments are about people bashing each others countries. Maybe the time it took you to write this comment, you could help educate others?

[kabloozie]

jeez. is it too much to ask for some basic human rights? If the russians believe these people are terrorists, why not allow them their day in court? Why all the KGB-esq kidnappings? Why no official documentation - the whole thing reeks, and any reasonable person can smell the deception.

feh. Some people never learn.

[jimejam43]

you europeans are a joke always have been, geez war after war after war and you have the nerve to talk shit about U.S. wow commies and muslims murdering each other what a new idea god help you all bcause we the U.S. are/should stay out of it and let you all kill each other GOOD LUCK

[Silkvaten]

Jim ... you are an absolute idiot. You're use of grammar points that out right from the get go. It's a sad state of affairs when you think that these people deserve this kind of treatment, this kind of injustice. You may think that the US is all powerful ... they are nothing but the self-appointed world police force lead by a money grubbing community of just as evil politicians as are within any government. Kind of like the bully of the block ... One day some country will change that.

[Slaneyvalleyl]

I totally agree with you. The US thinks it rules the world. I will pray for all those people on the video. It is so sad so see these mothers suffering.

[soniyaEU]

1. Russia is a member of UN Security Council also a member of Council of Europe... Level of hypocrisy inside these systems is leading me sometimes to anarchist thinking

2. Heartbreaking is way of thinking imposed by this vid - every person which is a number in some statistic is also someone's husband, someone's son, someone's father, someone's brother, someone's best friend, someone' neighbour etc etc., heartbreaking

[pandaman0529]

I couldn't agree with you more.

The clip of the last mother is just so sad...

[tonnyosmond]

a very sad clip .

[ShiShani]

True Media. Thanks for this video :)

[Witness]

To all commentors: please keep your comments constructive and respectful of one another - remembering that this video is framed in a human rights framework not a political one. Also, the producers of this video are the NGO Memorial in Russia with offices all over the country and N. Caucasus. The translation was done so English language audience could have access to the video. Thanks to all who are watching and commenting. Please keep debate respectful.

[AbrekGirl]

Sorry, Witness, but some Russians needed to be answered.

[RussianGerman1989]

That's it! A revenge for the Russian! Stupid fools, these englishspeakers who made this video - you're always ready to blame "Cruel Russians". Now she cries, that caucasian woman there. What did she do when her sun was killing Russian guys and raping Russian girls? This chechens are animals! They were gang-banging innocent 13-year-old girls! They were killing old women just for the fact they were wearing crosses. They were shooting people on the street just for their nationality! Time to pay!

[kososvakid]

give us sources

[AbrekGirl]

The rapists were the uncivilized Russian soldiers in the Soviet army that fought in Europe during WW2. They raped lots of women. Everybody was scared of their babaric nature, even Hitler:)

[IamScarface]

"Time to pay" - I suspect your courageous patriotism would melt away if a Chechen were opposite you. I think they know the extent of your "courage" extremely well...

I think civilised people respect civilised people. Looking at your youtube home page, we see the only people you associate with are Serbs, presumably Bosnian Serbs... your "Slavic unity", illuminatingly, excluding all other Slavs (they don't love Russia, do they?). You're really a very simple guy.

[RussianGerman1989]

You're right in some way, if a Chechen person were before me, my patriotism would be partially replaced with the rage.

And who told you that other Slavs but the Serbs don't like Russia? Don't Belorussians? Don't Bulgarians? Don't Ukrainians?

You seem to be full of stereotypes and hatred towards Russia.

2 AbrekGirl: Who in the hell have counted Russian women slain, raped and tortured to death by the Germans? I'm half-Russian and half-German and I have nothing against Germans, but...

[RussianGerman1989]

...but everyone who tries to violate our women must at first think about their women, for we are not to be merciful! Anyway, Germans raped a lot of our women and girls, and I think I can understand them - they've never seen any beatiful women before!

[deanyorks]

This made me sad. I'm sick and tired of wars and listening to the lies governments tell us. The British and American governments are both as currupt as anyone elses country

[MohammedObamaJr]

They were abducted by muslim terrorists who then blame anybody else. By the way, I don't care, first Beslan must be revenged a millionfold. Chechnya will never be inhabitable as long as it is held hostage by islam.

[kososvakid]

ahh another american parrot. in real life nothing to say but on internet he has a place were he can act how he want.

listen parrot: ever visited alania? who were the victims? why the beslan mothers blame the russian gov for the killing? why ossetians blame russia? sitting somewhere in the USA and talking about the world he never saw. funny. sad person. maybe no one has respect for you in real life---byeee

[Yaponchik777]

I am not in the USA nor am I an American. I live in Russia and I do have a basis of comparison. The truth is the world is tired of terrorism and the strong and civilized governments of the world are finally taking a stand. Pathetic whiners like you who can't accept that complain about it here.

[kososvakid]

did i wrote that your american?...so i ask you. why there is more and more ppl are getting anti gov in the caucasus republics? you sound like putins parrot. if you want a peacefull russia which is strong and free, be more critical about the situation in the south. but it seems your a parrot

[Yaponchik777]

I am my own independent person thank you very much and don't take orders.. The truth is the Caucasus belongs to Russia and that region and its republics rely on the Russian armed forces for safety and security. During the Chechen war many terrorists used the shelter of native inhabitants and so therefore they are complacent in their own ignorance and lack of objectivity.

[KarachayTulpar]

Before Russia came we had safety and security. Don't you see RUSSIA is the PROBLEM. It's time they got the fuck out of Kavkaz and let us be.

[Yaponchik777]

Collateral damage is a fact of war. If terrorists were using your homeland for safe harbor, shelter, and as a base to launch attacks shouldn't you do something about it instead of bringing heat on yourself unless of course you had ulterior motives...

[kososvakid]

i dont speak about safe harbor or chechenya. i speak about kabardino-balkaria, ossetia, karachay-cherkessia...ppl feel unhappy, opressed, and they are full of anger. if russia dont treat those ppl as humans they will seed a generation of "terrorist" why are you so blind?

[Antoshik81]

Всё это весьма прискорбно... приношу свои глубочайшие извинения всем пострадавшим от рук моих соотечественников..

[qzmi4meister]

иди ка ты на хуй приблудень пендосский, побывал бы ты там, понял бы что все это хуйня

[hatiqway]

i'm just wondering ! were the hell is the justice, the human rights that everybody r talking about these days! why everybody is trying to hide the facts, no one giving the caucasians a hand, we r people, we r nation, we need to have our countries free, how does it feel to put your country russia while u don't even feel russian ! then u have to go and explain to the others that i'm not a russian, we r Caucasians, the russian toke our lands, while everybody is watching...

[hatiqway]

that's not everything going on north caucasus, its only 0.1%... the skinheads r killing the caucasians everywhere, they killed 3 circassians in the past weeks, they did not take their money, they killed them only because they r cherkes...

we r dieing everyday, and nobody care about us, they call us fuckin terrorists, what do u expect from us! to say hello my russian brothers! comon' and take my land, kill us we love u guys !!! While the others don't...

[hatiqway]

while the others don't have the courage to stop the fascist russia!!! they broke the smile of north caucasus, the tears didn't stop sense 1500 til' now... the bloodiest history ever...

thanx for the post...

JUSTICE FOR NORTH CAUCASUS

[ShiShani]

My brother, no matter what since 1500 till now we still on foot and they didn't shake our roots and they will never do.

What i hate is when Russia justify their acts calling us terrorist. But you said it, they expect us to shake their hands while they are bombing our heads.

Worst kind of terror was used against Caucasians. Starting with quenching in cold water so the interior parts explode ending with raping the whole family infront the father and letting him go live...

[ShiShani]

And not only that, from 15-45 men are disappearing. From 15-60 women getting rape. Body parts are cutted. Bombing, Terrifying torturing...etc.

For sure we will use anyways all the ways and kinds to defend our selves and take revenge!

We won't cry, won't forget, won't forgive. Days are coming...

[aeronautika333]

russkie dikari

[Witness]

We encourage everyone to learn more and take action at hub DOT witness DOT org/missinglives

[andreasue]

Fucking russians. That's what they did everwhere in Europe during and after the II. WW. Killing, raping, abducting.

[Yaponchik777]

We liberated Europe and won WW2. We are a civil people who oppose terrorism on our soil. How dare you generalize an entire nation you fuckhead

[kososvakid]

what do you except? pls travell to nalchik, maikop or nazran and talk with them free. there is atmosphere of fear in the south of the federation. and your attitude is dangerous. a nation should always be selfcritic.

[andreasue]

Who do you liberated from what? My grandfather from his watch? The thounsands of people you murdered? The women you raped? The people you sent to Gulag?

Thanks God for driving out the Russians from my country! I wish that for the people of North-Caucasus too.

[AbrekGirl]

Yaponchik777

Who the terrorists are, is shown in this video. Fix your terrorist state!

[AnaMurida]

AbrekGirl, defend Serbs/Montenegrans, not Chechens.

i remember your comments about how much you hated Chechens.

[AnaMurida]

i remember AbrekGirl insulting a Chechen by calling Chechens criminals and "cavemen" for killing "innocent" Russians. silly girl.

[Vol4icaNorway]

chechency ne dikari,prosto my ludi kotorye cenim svou kulturu svoi obychii,my ne zabyvaem svoih predkov,my hotim mira!

naschet video da eto vse strashno,i eto to chto pokazyvaut toljko svetochki...

[millevanilla2009]

Ничего удивительного, учитывая то, что чеченцы - это дивие варвары. Может быть когда-нибудь чеченеы станут культурными (много-много десятков или сотен лет спустя), но пока что они дикари с обезьяннми повадками.

[twentyjan]

what has been happening in chechnya is the biggest tragedy of the 21st century and yet the basterds in the UN have said and done absolutely nothing to stop what has been happening.

shame on all those who have ignored this genocide.

[kososvakid]

funny to read this from a person who is pro israel- where politicans want to solve the problem "like russians solved in chechnya" (lieberman) no thx we dont need yor sympathy.

[lizardvalis]

How by ALLAH did you upload a video more than 10 minutes long? O_o

[Deny701]

obrashenie nedorazvitim.

Stranno videt' lyudei kotorim xvatilo uma dobrat'sya do ineta, no ne xvataet uma vsego lish 10 minut ot dushi s interesom podumat' nad temoi. nado bit' nastol'ko tupim, chtobi pisat' eti kommenti, tipo predlogov bilo ne malo...

[tmidir]

sadly the memorial estimates are ridiculously conservative, there are many more who will never be accounted for.

[azazazazi]

и за что?? с ких ето пор мирние жители стали террористами ?? клянус Аллахом у нас нет терраристов!! дома в Москве вы сами же взорвали!! ето был предлог что бы поднят реитинг Путину и воити в Чечню, как мы знаем не что не вечно, проидут года а возможно и века но то что вы зделали мы некогда не забудем!! ИншаАллах вы ответите за то что вы делали, когда ваши дети кушали сладости наши дети умерали с голода, будте вы пркляты и все ваши потмки.

[TaTaP4eHoK]

бРееддддд!!!с такой же безответственостью можно сказать что американцы направили самолеты на свои небоскребы,и без домов предлогов хватало.....

[wolftch]

Tatar, vi ruskix na protejenii 300 let na kolenax derjali, a potom vi kak oni nacheli pitj, jenitsa na ix jenshin i vi oslabli i vse poterali. A che ti teperj storonu russkix zanimaesh. Da, americantsi organisovali etot terract, etomu estj dokozatelstvo, no eto dokozateljstvo nikogda ne videtj na sushu.

[GAZANUTYUN]

Sochuvstvuyu prostim lyudyam, zhertvam etoi gryaznoi voini. No terroristov nado unichtozhat' bezzhalostno. Do poslednego podonka.

A Rossiye sleduyet nauchitsa otlichat' normal'nix lyudei ot terroristicheskoi gnidi. A to Rossiya tol'ko sebe nazhivayet bol'she vragov.

[wolftch]

Ti toje kajetsa ne razlichaesh terroristov ot ludey normalnix. V chechne terroristov krome ruskix i pridatelei Kadirovtsev i takoy je mrazi netu. Sposibo za tvoe sochustvia.

[GAZANUTYUN]

Nu, vo vsyakom sluchaye s 1996-1999 goda Chechentsi pokazali kak mnogo tam terroristov. Ne opravdivay banditov.

I voobshe, chto za filosophia? Pochemu vsex ne-musul'man nazivayete kafirami? Ved dlya nix vi sami kafiri! Glavnoye chto'b chelovek bil xoroshim a ne yego religia.

No v Chechnye mnogiye etogo ne ponimayut.

[wolftch]

Noschet '96-'99 ti prav. No te kotorie shas v gorax ne terroristi, ya eto luchshe tebja znau, poverj mne. Kadirovtsi i vsja eto dranj terroristi. Tot kto ne uveroval v Allaxa i ego Proroka, kafir, potomuchto prorok za prorokom prixodili s novoi vestju, a tot kto ne sleduet novomu proroku, tot kafir, no eto ne oznachaet kak ti dumaesh shto ego nado ubivatj,net, ego nado uvajatj esli on ne prishol s voinoi. Sposibo chto ti sochustvuesh moemu norodu, ia tebe blagodaren. :)

[GAZANUTYUN]

Nu, znachit ti ne obizhayeshsya chto ti dlya menya kafir tak kak ti verish v lzheproroka. Ne obizhaysya, no v myei religii tak skazano. Poluchayetsa chto ya dlya tebya kafir, a ti dlya menya. Kak xorosho.... :) :(

[wolftch]

Vo pervix ia ne v prorokov veru a v Allaxa, proroki yego poslanniki. Ia ne znau iz kakoi ti religii, esli ti krestianin znai shto dlja menja Isus ne lzheprorok a Prorok da budj mir nad nim, tak je kak i Muhammad da budj mir nad nim, i Ibrahim, Ismail, Nox, Musa i mnogie drugie proroki. A esli ti iz drugoi kakoi to religii to ti mne xotj skoji v kogo ti verish. I kafir dlja menja eto tot kotoriy prenebrigaet slovom Allaxa i verit v drugix bogax.

[ervandsarkisyan]

"Prenebrigaet slovo Allaha" - znachit vse kto ne Musul'manin - kafir, bezbozhnik, i ne zasluzhivaet ni kakogo uvazheniya v glazah lyubogo Musul'manina?

[wolftch]

Vse zaslujivaut uvajenia i kafir i musulmanin.

[ervandsarkisyan]

No "kafir" eto po suti uzhe ne uvozhitel'noe slovo

[wolftch]

kafir oznachaet: tot kto oslushalsja Boga tak kak on skazal sledit za Prorok Muhammadom, a te kto otvernulisj ot etogo evljautsa kafirami.[And dispute not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong and injury.] (Al-`Ankabut 29:46). Znachit nujno uvajatj vsex, krome tex kto vishli protiv Boga na vainu.

[ervandsarkisyan]

Ponyatno, spasibo, bilo ochen' lyubopitno

[wolftch]

Da ne zachto. :)

[wolftch]

Gazanutyun. Bog posilal prorokov shtob napominatj ludjam pro Boga i nekotorie proroki prinosili novie soobshenia i zakoni ot Boga, i tot kto ne sledoval etix prorokov schitaetsja kafir, tak kak on otverg to shto emu bilo dano znatj ot Allaxa. Tak shto musulmane (nastoiashie) prislushivautsja tomu chemu Bog im povilivaet, vedj Koran poslednee i konechnoe slovo ot Boga. Bog Edin, On vechen, ni parajdal On i ne bil parajden, i nikto ne sravnitsa s Nim.

[GAZANUTYUN]

Dlya menya konechno koran i Muahammad nichego ne oznachayut tak kak eto lzhekniga i lzheprorok. Ne obizhaysya, mi'zh govorim o religii. Po moyei religii on lzhe prorok.

[wolftch]

Lzhitsa krome tebja zdesj netu, a ti skaji mne kakova tvoia religia?

[joppa222]
