    I went to Grozy about 5 years ago. The rebuilding of it was incredible, and the locals were friendly and seemed happy. But you can still tell that some time ago; it went through a terrible terrible siege, like some German cities and when I also visited Volgograd that very trip. I have no doubts Mariupol will have the same feel in a decade.
  • @AadamSaleem0
    I am a Chechen, and I am sincerely pleased that you have told about our recent history for those who have not heard about us or knew little about us. Thank you for your work Edit: I started a Civil War in the comments
  • @rairaur2234
    I wish you also mentioned that the main defender of the city was a close friend to the attacking commander, and their comms have been recorded extensively. It's a very tragic part of the war. The siege leader asked the other side to give up multiple times, but they were adamant even in the face of destruction. By the last transmission it is basically two friends saying their goodbyes to each other.
  • @ImSkittzle
    My grandfather would always say, you can learn a lot about a place by learning the wars they've been through.
  • @bruzh6359
    The ancients say "NEVER, a day in Yelstin's precidency existed, without him being drunk"
  • I love how y’all are doing less known wars and historical events instead of stuff like WW2 Edit: why do people act more like these battles are entertainment for them instead of landmarks in different peoples histories
  • In 2011 I befriended a chechen. Being the only 2 outsiders we became almost like brothers. After I left north dakota in 2014 and came back to Texas I lost contact with him. I hope all is well if you see this Rustam, im still that crazy mexican from back in those days.
  • On, the topic of the former USSR, I would love a video on the Soviet-Afghan War so much. It's such a hugely influential conflict with such little recognition.
  • @capncake8837
    The Caucasus has a very interesting and important history. I hope you make more videos about that region.
  • @Prizrak131
    I absolutely love how you're talking about the Chechen wars now, I feel like those conflicts hardly get talked about and those conflicts have always interested me.
  • @mathiasj9424
    This is actually insanely cool. Watching your videos shows how history naturally flows from one era to another; SO COOL that you’re showing how history flows smoothly into today! Much love from the Pacific Northwest
  • The Second Chechen War is a textbook example of two axioms: 1. History is never black or white. And 2. History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Aloha 🤙🏼
  • Its so refreshing to see a video that isnt about WW2... Modern wars are incredibly interesting.
  • Love it when you make videos on more nice subjects that are often overlooked. Keep up the great work!
  • @vapekin9190
    I've been interested in the Chechen Wars for a while now, I'm so glad to see you make a video on it. I love your take on things!
  • @sam8404
    Great job on the animation. I saw soldiers changing mags, tanks correctly modeled, and that muzzle flash at 13:50 is amazing.
  • For 4 years I watch your videos, for 4 years you never cease to amaze me, thanks for your hard and amazing work, cheers form Portugal
  • Honestly I was waiting for this one for a long time. It's such an important topic concerning the modern day
  • @liferx4343
    Thank you Armchair Historian, for listing the incredible music used in the description. I can honestly say every single aspect of your videos are incredible. You define all that is fun about learning history.
