“It’s like in 1996, when General Lebed came to Grozny, and there, what should we call them, Chechens, let’s say ...,” the Ukrainian deputy continued.
“Freedom fighters,” Shuster sternly corrected Kunitsyn.
“Yes, freedom fighters tore apart the Russian army, and dogs dragged Russian soldiers around Grozny, he then signed a peace for which everyone beat him up,” agreed the deputy.
“Yes, it was, perhaps, a world with a great defeat for the Russian Federation. But in 3-4 years the Russian army got back on its feet. Chechnya did not go away, and victory was won,” Kunitsyn finished his thought.
“What victory? Carpet bombing of Grozny? – Shuster was amazed.
