and last week in the zone called "Chechnya" the three-year war of the absurd continued with might and main. With real numerous human victims. Bearing the official name of the "anti-terrorist operation".

...Near the village of Gekhi-Chu, the militants checked the documents this week. However, very similar to the feds.

Which is not surprising: both of them do not always shave in the morning, wear “soldiers of fortune” headscarves, like commandos in American action films, and buy overalls and shoes in Grozny at the market, from the same suppliers from Khasavyurt ...

... In the evening of the same day, television broadcast that there were fights in the Gekhi-Chu region. But "ours" won...

... Directly on the highway leading to the mountains through the territory of the Urus-Martan district (where, in fact, the “fights” were announced), huge green bushes “grew up”. Upon closer examination, they turned out to be tanks and armored personnel carriers, richly decorated with branches broken in a roadside forest belt. At the top of the "bushes" the soldiers sunbathed in a relaxed way, lazily brushing away the flies, the heat and "shooting" cigarettes from the passing people... From whom were they "hiding" right on the concrete road? From militants?

So they walk through the woods.

So, from helicopters? But the militants do not have them. And "their own" - here they are, chasing back and forth over the heads, sunbathing soldiers and "bushes" ... Just like swallows. Low and creepy...

... But even this evening, television reported that the "fights" ...

... At the post "Kavkaz-1" (the border of Chechnya and Ingushetia, near the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya), also in connection with the "fights", they stopped letting anyone "to Russia", as they say here. So that there was a barrier on the way of the "retreating bandit formations" ...

But there they stopped, and through the checkpoints on the right and left, any man could drive wherever he wanted. Without any sideways glance from the guards in their direction. Of course, if you have 10-20-30 rubles ...

... But women were slowed down. Aslanbek Naibovich Daskiev, junior police sergeant (Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia) and senior at the checkpoint near the village of Novy Redant, introducing himself in all his uniform, showed vigilance by not contacting men, but enthusiastically examining the ladies' things of the passing fair sex. He especially liked the panties, taken out of his bags at his request, as well as pads and bras ... Whatever you say - morning. Weak man in the morning...

... And on TV they were cheerfully broadcasting: "The group has taken all measures to prevent the insurgents from penetrating the borders of Chechnya." And you can't argue... Indeed, women's tampons can also contain cartridges. In theory...

... And near the village of Varanda in the mountains, a landing party arrived from Khankala, from the main military base in the zone of the "anti-terrorist operation." Also for the purpose of "non-penetration". The paratroopers drank, walked and randomly fired around them.

AND? And - he missed the “penetrating”, right into the Urus-Martan forests. But this is a completely different story, about which a detailed report will be in the next issue ...

... And in Moscow, for many years now, Nadezhda Ivanovna Yatsyna, an old mother of my university comrade Vladimir Yatsyna, an ITAR-TASS photojournalist, who was taken hostage even before war and destroyed a few months later near Varandy, where his bones still lie, as the prosecutor's office of Chechnya proved a long time ago, but Khankala kept trying to excuse himself: they say, there is no way to "send troops near Varandy" and dig up the bones ...

And so, they sent it. But again, they were not up to it ... In the zone of absurdity.
