Perhaps someone can help with the translation, because this video does not show us much except that a man with a camera is in the middle of soldiers running around and near the final seconds of the video he drops the camera. I can only infer what is happening and has happened by the title of the video and the sounds of semi-automatic fire followed by sounds of an automatic Kalashnikov.

Here is some more First Chechen War footage, showing various operations by the resistance fighters in and around Grozny around 1994-1996.

The end of the video shows a Russian Soldier or someone obviously not a muslim (blonde hair, Russian looks) “converting” to islam and joining the resistance.

A BBC Reporter is yards away from being blasted away by Russian Artillery shell. We see a civilian isn’t as lucky as he is severely hit and bleeding profusely. A few other civilians are bleeding pretty bad too.

Only a few Chechen Rebels left to fend for a “bombed out, fired out” city. Russian tanks speed through the city.

Here is a video of the OMON Security Forces assaulting an area of Grozny in March of 1996. For the first few minutes it is quite uneventful, but the group of soldiers moves closer into danger and the video picks up intensity. The come upon the bodies of dead Russian soldiers in what seems to be a temporary morgue set up by the rebels or Russians themselves? Very confusing. I’d be wary of booby traps but these OMON guys are not.

At the end of the video russian soldier tells how he tried to save the one’s commander under of chechen sniper-fire. The commander was killed. Also, the soldiers are indignant at the lack of reinforcements.
“We couldn’t understand from where or who attacked us. All ours machine guns are jammed due to very intense rate of fire.
We spent almost all ammo for assault rifles. We have lost a commander. Our generals have left us without reinforcements. What the hell is going on here?”

Some remarkable footage from inside Grozny in 1995. The footage is a compilation shot by resistance fighters themselves as they make their way through the capital city of Grozny. The Russians are shelling everything that moves, stands, or sits, not a single building is left untouched. I wonder how many civilians were in those apartment complexes during the shellings, surely they all couldn’t have fled.
