This story is not about the blood and horrors of the last Chechen campaigns and the treachery and atrocities of the warring parties. Not about the tyranny of some big commanders and chiefs, whose bad and carefully hidden qualities, invisible in peacetime, are especially manifested in war. If anything about all this is present, it is in a very diluted and moderate form. And now to the respected Reader - everything that you see here is, in fact, the true truth. But all names and surnames have been changed; the documentary accuracy of the chronology and territoriality of events is not guaranteed.
