Difficult subject. It would have been very difficult to find men that volountered to that brutal hell the war in Chechnya was.So conscripts neccesary. If treated well during service and when returning home from service a lot of problems might have been solved. I have talked to veterans and its personal how affected, some are alright but some still as10 years has passed has not got a life that is okay, So this is still ongoing story. Interesting to interview a veteran today to hear what they say.
It's ridiculous when they compare the Russian army during WW2 and the army now. During WW2 they WERE demoralized, unfunded and subject to brutal hardships! But they still fought.
@assman1060 during WW2 Russian troops were at death's door from starvation and disease as well as German artillery and gunfire. I just think its strange to compare those two generations because they're fighting very different wars.
@TheGreaterGood80 Because Comrade Commissar have gun to shoot running conscripts! In WW2, price of one grenade more than price of one conscript. Grenade must make in factory, need gunpowder, need metal. But to get one boy only need to fuck, very cheap
i feel sorry for the parents of those young boys but they are so fucking stupid not rebeling against their government coz they are they reason of so many young lifes of kids, not chechens or ingush soldiers. now do u stil want to fight chechens????
Those idiot generals, presidents and other individuals in charge (and their families) should be sent to war instead. And when they recieve videos of their sons having their heads sawed off, they might perhaps consider that it is wrong.
I watched a Dutch TV-report on a young Russian man who was beaten so badly in the Russian Army that he can't walk properly anymore. And, that is 12 years ago.
Russians use large numbers of conscripts. That is a fact. Look back to the Dagestan massacre where 6 conscripts were killed by Chechen rebels. Those poor russian kids looked liked they were straight out of high school.
The Russian Army will never win this war -- it is forced to drag its men kicking and screaming into combat with an enemy who welcomes death with open arms.
This is not to say that the U.S. [or any other country] has a better chance in any theatre of operations vs. the Mujahideen, but at least for the most part their armies are made up of VOLUNTEERS.
Brutality in the army - that's true. it's Russian callup army. This all shit is Soviet army's heritage.anyway in 1990s whole Russia was complete hell. Quite the same as America in times of the great depression.
The bright side is that now there are contract part of army that is fully-trained and technically equipped.people there are volunteers and there are no brutality and mess there. And in 08-08-08 conflict mostly contract part of army fought. callup army is now smth like national guard
the russian army is a complete and utter mess.they couldnt take sri lanka on in combat.they'd sell all their arms for food.if russia had no nukes they'd be a complete pathetic joke
Serious guys, this video was made in 1999, 10 years ago. The army spending back then was some 10 billions, that's 5 times less then todays budget (50 billions).
Then why were Russian commanders coordinating attacks in South Ossetia with cell phones? Russian infantry doesnt ecven have kevlar vests. From the few foremer Russian soldiers ive met and all information Ive seen/read in books BY Russians, they say Russian soldiers don't get trained, they get beaten.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the russians are cowards and are good only in one - killing innocent people, very often these people are their countrymen and this is pitiful. FUCK RUSSIA!!!
I always had extreme respect for Russian Armed Forces, mainly the Military History of Soviet Union. But is sad tell that Russia suffered huge casualties in combat with militants, rebels and enemies in North Caucasus. Souces shows over 15.000 losses since 1994.
The insurgency in Noth Caucasus is severe, hard, difficult. Despite there are progress, the counter-terrorist operations still face many problems.
A narrowly one-sided documentary. This video only serves the purpose of propaganda. Not to mention that its been made 10 years ago, the situation today is far more different.
News with malicious subliminal contents to foster negative public opinion towards Russians in general. Its so obvious in the tone of this video. unfortunately, retarded idiots like yourself dont have the capacity to grasp these blatant messages.
Sure about that? First off i dont live in America or the west my news is all about my homeland because my nation is isolationist. The only one here without the mental capacity to understand anything here is you, you see the news to ruin someones image the news ruins everyones image not just russias its all about money watch who your calling a retard your probably one of those moron who thinks 9 11 was an inside job cant live life always looking behind your back
This is not news, its a propaganda documentary. Its targeting viewers with extreme disinformation about Russia and its people. Even with the fact that the video itself was 10 years out of date, its host decided to upload it anyway in hopes of fostering negative public opinion over Russia.
Its so stupid to think that you can lie to people about your place even when your language and political position suggests the opposite. Youre an American in disguise.
I live in Syria far from being american my points of view are different then yours but your assumptions prove your arrogance in not seeing anything else then what you want to think. Instead of considering that journeymanpictures is just a news reporting channel which it is, you assume its bad mouthing russia. Just because i side with this channel not being a load of conspiracy bullshit like your turning it into doesnt mean i have a "political position"
So what? Times change and the same goes to alliances. One day you could be Russia's foe but on the next it could be the opposite. And Japan was on the side of Germany not Hitler, otherwise you should have said Tojo was on the side of Hitler. A person and a country are two different things.
Japan was on Japan's side in 1942. Your understanding of history is very basic. That Hitler and Japan allied was a basic matter of your enemy is my enemy, therefore we are friends.
Remember, Hitler vilified all non Aryans, and the Japanese vilified all non Japanese. It was an alliance of circumstance, and nothing more.
Stalin would give chechens a very vice place in Siberia, or some ther nice place. Brave chechen islam muslam soldiers know to kill and rape school children, but abviously, muhammed, or alla, did not teach them anything good. mohammed had 9 wives, one of who was 9 years old. What kin of peoplle are these?
your Stalin was worst war criminal and cruel than anyone else in the modern history he was even worst then Nazis , and Russian are following his footstep
The Russians are a noble people that are forced to fight the non white Muslim pigs due to location. It's the Muslims who are born with such blood lust in there vein's that they'll blow up a school full of children.
Every soldier I saw during the Ossetian conflict, had armor vests, and the new helmets .. cept for those who wore rags or caps. So you're wrong stu106. And as for Russia being pathetic. manpower wise they are very strong fighters, and good fighters at that. America ARMY Soldiers are trained well, but not enough physically........
Good answer! I intend to learn a bit in the futre - I think Russia has a great future ahead of it.. Certainly it has many problems but it has ALOT more strength than other European nations, resources, land, its economy has prospered, it brings its criminals to justice & looks after its own people. As long as Russia does not allow mass immigration its status as a future Super Power is certain. Whereas Western Europe and the USA will be Muslim and non-White in future, Russia will still be strong!
Conscription itself is not the problem. Some of the best militaries use conscription(South Korea, Israel, etc) and still have decent soldiers. The trick is to fund the army well, and motivate your military by making service as decent as posible. If soldiers dont fear service, or better yet volunteer, the army will perform better. The russians have to fund the army better, stop hazing, and take better care of their troops. If they did, they would have one of the best armies on the planet.
Mother Russia should smell the coffee and end conscription as most of her sons are unwilling to serve. And who would blame them, to be called up and posted(probably thousands) of miles from home where after a ritual of instituionalised bullying you are sent to some war zone of a republic that Russia should of relinqueshed centuries ago.
The reason why chechens are so brutal to russians is the result of centuries of tyranny going all the way back to Ivan the Terrible, to Czar Nicolas II, to Joseph Stalin and on and on and on!!!
No wonder the Chechen rebels think the Russian troops can't fight. Their just barely old enough to even wear the uniform! Let alone be able to fight against battle-hardened Chechen rebels and Mujahadeen fighters.
If Comrade Commissar comes to my door to make me fight for Mother Russia, I rather just sit there and let him shoot me.
