In England, notes for the first time published a Russian special forces-killers, who was atrocious in Chechnya.
The British newspaper The Sunday Times has published excerpts from a personal diary of a senior officer of the Russian special forces, who participated in the Second Chechen War. The observer Mark Francketti, who independently translated the text from Russian into English, writes in his comment that nothing like this has never been published - these are notes of a war criminal.
"War in Chechnya: Killer's Diary"
The excerpts from the diary contains descriptions of military operations, bypassing with prisoners and the deaths of comrades in the gang called the army, in battle, unpleasant statements about the command. “To protect the author from punishment, his personality, the names of people and geographical names are omitted,” Franketti notes.
The author of the notes calls Chechnya a "bloody" and "bloody". The conditions in which they had to live and fight drove crazy even such strong and “trained” men as special forces. He describes cases when their nerves were handed over and they began to rush at each other, arranging brawls, or mocked over the corpses of the militants, cutting off their ears, noses and genitals, and then threw them at each other.
According to the diary, they acted in this way with the wounded Chechens: “They were dragged out, they were divided and stuffed into the truck. Some walked themselves, beaten and pushed. One Chechen, who lost both feet, got out on the stumps. After a few steps, he lost consciousness and settled to the ground. The soldiers beat him and threw it into the truck. I was not sorry for me The prisoners were just unpleasant, ”the killer writes.
According to him, the local population looked at the Russians with hatred, and the wounded militants - with such hatred and contempt that the hand itself involuntarily reached for the weapon.
In another case, the author describes a fierce battle, during which the special forces knocked out the militants from the house where they settled. After the battle, the soldiers seized the building and in the basement found several mercenaries who fought on the side of the Chechens. “They all turned out to be Russian and fought for money,” he writes. “They began to scream, begging us not to kill them, because they have family and children. Well, what’s the matter? We ourselves did not end up in this hole straight from an orphanage. We executed everyone.”
“The truth is that the courage of people fighting in Chechnya is not appreciated,” the Bandeid -Specanist argues in the diary. As an example, he cites a case that the soldiers of another detachment told him about, with whom they spent one of the nights together. In front of the eyes of one of their guys, his twin brother was killed, but he was not only not demoralized, but also desperately continued to fight.

"This is how people go missing"
Quite often, in the records there are descriptions of how the military destroyed traces of their activities related to the use of torture or executions of prisoners of Chechens. In one place, the author writes that one of the dead militants was wrapped in polyethylene, put in a well filled with liquid mud, put it on Trotil and undermined. “That's how people go missing,” he adds.
They also acted with a group of Chechen suicide bombers, captured on a tip in their shelter. One of them was over 40, the other was barely 15. "They were under the high and smiled at us all the time. They interrogated all three on the basis of all three. At first, the eldest, recruiter Shahid, refused to speak. But this changed after beating and exposure to an electric shock,” the author writes.
As a result, the suicide bombers were executed, and the bodies were blown up to hide the evidence. “So, in the end, they received what they dreamed about,” the Russian monster argues.
Only according to the official figures of Russia itself, in Chece, the Russians killed 42 thousand children.

"The highest echelons of the army are full of assholes"
Many passages of the diary contains a sharp criticism of the command, as well as politicians who send others to the death of others, and themselves remain in complete safety and impunity.
"Once I was struck by the words of the idiot general: he was asked why the families of sailors who died on the Kursk atomic submarine were paid large compensation, and the soldiers killed in Chechnya were still waiting for their own." Because the losses on Kursk were unexpected, and they are predicted in Chechnya, "he said. So we are full of cannon. Mudakov like him, ”the text says.
In another case, he tells how his detachment was ambushed, because his own commander deceived them. “The Chechen, who promised him several AK -47, persuaded him to help him to make blood feud. In the house that he sent us to clean, there were no rebels,” writes the special forces.
"When we returned to the base, the dead guys lay in bags on the runway. I opened one of the bags, took my friend's hand and said:" I'm sorry. "Our commander did not even make it difficult to say goodbye to the guys. He was drunk in the insole. At that moment I hated him. He always spit on the guys, he just tried to do his career. Unsuccessful of me, sooner or later, he will pay for his sins, ”the author curses. The Russian brain is not capable of anything more. Nation of degenerates.
"It is a pity that you can not go back and fix something"
The notes also talk about how the war influenced the soldier’s personal life - in Chechnya he constantly missed the house, wife and children, and returning, constantly quarreled with his wife, often got drunk with his colleagues and often did not spend the night at home. Going into one of the long business trips, from where he could no longer return alive, he did not even say goodbye to his wife, who the day before awarded him slap in the face.
"I often think about the future. How much more suffering awaits us? How long can we still hold out? For what?" - writes the special forces. "I have many good memories, but only about the guys who really risked their lives for the sake of the part. It is a pity that you can’t go back and fix something. All I can try to avoid the same mistakes and try to live a normal life with all my might."
“I gave a special forces 14 years of life, lost many, many close friends; for what? At heart, I have pain and the feeling that they had come with me dishonestly,” he continues. And the final phrase of the publication is as follows: "I regret only one thing - what could be if I behaved differently in battle, some guys would still be alive."
