NEW MAP: Russia 2000: Second Chechen War (06 Feb 2000) https://omniatlas.com/maps/russia/20000206/ The Russian economy hit its nadir in 1998 before beginning a steady recovery, in part buoyed by oil revenues. In late 1999 Chechen mujahideens invaded neighboring Dagestan, provoking the Second Chechen War. This time, however, the Russian military was better prepared and—under the new presidency of Yeltsin’s successor, Vladimir Putin—restored federal control over Chechnya. #russia #history #welovemaps #map #2000 #2000s #chechnya #czechia #daghestan #february #february6 #hungary #kosovo #poland #russia #russianhistory #yugoslavia #maps #dagestan #chechenwar #secondchechenwar #putin #vladimirputin #borisyeltsin #yeltsin #modernhistory #russianfederation (at Groznyy, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnDJTArgURP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13we9qn5oq62q

Alright, I might as well use this page to share military aesthetics I eat up. Most of these are going to be Chechen war era images since I fucking love and I’m geeked on it

NEW PODCAST - ClandesTime 193 – An Alternative History of Al Qaeda: Aukai Collins - In 1998 the CIA got an opportunity to infiltrate one of their spies into the Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, but turned it down. This week, I examine the autobiography of that spy – Aukai Collins, an American jihadi who became a deep cover agent for the FBI and CIA. From his time training in camps in Afghanistan and Kashmir, to fighting on the front lines of the jihad in Chechnya and Kosovo, to how and why his relationship with the CIA went horribly wrong, this is perhaps the wildest story of any of the spies inside Al Qaeda. #history #alqaeda #chechnya #chechenwar #FBI #CIA #spies #intelligence #intelligencefailure #afghanistan #kosovo #kashmir https://www.instagram.com/p/B2b0WDAJ6cG/?igshid=uxyc3bgl5277
