>>18445365Don't mind me, just posting some related trivia>During the First Chechen War, Rokhlin was credited with reorganizing the Russian forces in Chechnya and finally taking the Chechen capital of Grozny in 1995. Frustrated with the bloodshed, he left the army a few weeks later. He refused to accept the state's highest medal and the title of Hero of the Russian Federation for leading the Grozny offensive,[6] saying "It's immoral to seek glory in a civil war for commanders. For Russia, the Chechen war has none of glory, but all of tragedy">On 3 July 1998, a few months after he tried to stage an anti-government mass protest by army servicemen, Lev Rokhlin was shot in the head in his bed while he was sleeping. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife, Tamara, who at first had briefly confessed to the killing "due to a hostile relationship",[7] was convicted by a Russian court for her husband's murder in 2005, but she continued to insist he was killed by a group of masked men who broke into their dacha.[8] She was given a suspended sentence of 4–5 years.>Three burned corpses were found in a windbreak near the scene of the crime. According to officials, they were killed some time before the murder of the general, and had nothing to do with that. But many of Rokhlin's colleagues thought that they were the real assassins, liquidated by the Kremlin's special service.[10][11] According to Alexander Litvinenko (assassinated 2006), former KGB and FSB general Anatoly Trofimov (shot dead in 2005) told him that the murder appeared to be organized by Russian secret services.

>>18445365If anyone in this thirdie spam hellhole is interested in the actual reasons and a brief summary of them with factual evidence, written by an natural born ruskie, here's why:https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1502673952572854278.html
>>18445365Russia in the 1990s was a demoralized chaotic shell of a country whose army was full of extreme corruption, officer incompetence, wanton brutal bullying and terrified depressed conscripts who were fresh out of the psychological collapse of communism’s failure and had zero faith in their cause, leadership or their own abilities. Chechnya in the 1990s was also a chaotic hellhole but Chechens, in a manner similar to Afghans, are a fatalistically brave mountain people with a crude clannish honor culture whose culture and worldview suits rebellion against foreign invaders via guerilla war. A Chechen man who isn’t willing to die trying to get in a good shot at a Russian armoured car with a rocket launcher is, in the eyes of his people, no man at all. They had a bone-deep hatred of Russian domination after 400 years of being treated by the Russian Empire/USSR like the Americans treated the Indians. Their homeland also had piles of old Soviet heavy weaponry and tons of experienced, hardened former Soviet-Afghan war veterans just itching to kill a Slav infidel or three.The only reason Russia eventually regained control over Chechnya was because the Chechens were so retarded at actually building and maintaining a state that a lot of the bigger Chechen clans eventually just accepted that letting the Russians run things for them was preferable to being an independent fourth-world Mad Max hellhole. At least Moscow made the trains run on time.Picrel is a must-read btw. If you’re feeling bad about your circumstances in life, it’ll certainly help give you a sense of perspective.
