You can see the bias in this documentary. When the Chechens carried out an ethical cleansing and expelled almost a million Russian residents from Chechnya, since the end of the Soviet Union, the speaker does not think the reason for the attack is big enough, and he presents the eleventh of September as a righteous revenge and the massacre of hundreds of thousands of civilians, which Putin is supposed to use to turn attention from Chechnya. In addition, America's Netting of Rebellion to Break Russia is omitted.

it’s kinda like my blood pressure when i go for a run. it’s already high cause i’m fat (can’t say the same for most russians) but it gets much higher after i go for a run before falling back down to *lower* levels. those levels are still high just not as high as during the run

If you want to be chilled to your bones, listen to the conversation between the defending commander in Grozny and the attacking commander. They were acquaintances and the defender knew his ambush would annihilate the Russians so he begged him to have pity for their mothers and retreat, not to kill his own men and that noone would win in this war. All he got in reply was that he had orders and he would follow them.

During apartment bombings there was an incident in Ryazan. Locals have seen some people carry bags into the building basement and so called the police. The police arrested them only to find out later that they were FSB agents. Initially local police reports registered that the bags contained explosive materials, later it was stated by federals that it was only sugar. So who was really bombing apartments is still debated
