NC,
Not looked at content yet, but just from the photo, the “One Finger” salute means what here?
If it’s what ( or who) I think, aren’t they confessed/pledged to destroy “The Great Satan”, aahhh that be us?

It’s for the first pillar of faith in Islam. For them, especially in the first Chechen war, the great Satan was and remains Russia.
Looking past biases you’ll notice a great number of parallels between the Chechen culture, motivations and experience in war to our own in the Southeastern US.
Might wanna pay attention to what they did right and what went wrong.
Very interesting and informative. Have spent some time in the old USSR but was not well acquinted with this part of Russia
