This is the clip filmed by Nevzorov while russian troops were assaulting Grozny.
This film is fully documental - no actors and scripts.
Russian journalist Nevzorov visited the frontline in Grozny and filmed soldiers .
Someone from crowd: someone come here. one, two three, four - get it! (wounded soldier is crying).
(0:12) Someone from crowd: fucking go!
Take his AK. Take his AK!
(0:23): give me the stretchers!
Nevzorov: (2:03), Hey, it seems that we are not fighting against rebels, they have real army!
Rohlin: yes, they have real army.
Nevzorov: and this army, as i can see, could fight with such countries as Austria, Switzerland. So they have an army. There are no rebel armies with heavy armor and tanks.
Rohlin: Yes, but they are all mercenaries.
Nevzorov (2:54): what do you read?
Soldier: tales.
Nevzorov: what tales?
SOldier: mexican...
bla-bla-bla
Soldier (4:31) (he is talking about man (tankman), standing to the left): we went out to shoot snipers, but where hit by rpgs, we went back. Crew is ok. He lied at hospital for a day, medics wanted him to take away with contusion, but he said: "i'll remain here till i revenge for my guys. So day before yesterday, when we assaulted the buildings he was hit again, we managed to stew his tank. Than we changed tank and attacked again. And till know they work together and crush bastards, building-by-building
Tankman (5:02): for the guys, for my family, for Sergei. We stand nearby on our graduation. For Russia. Its our land, I come from cossacks, its our land. This town was found by cossacks, my ancestors. And I will die here also if it is needed If we loose Chechnya we will loose Russia. If you show me on TV I want to say hello to my mom, to my three children, my wife, mom and grandmom. I'm healthy and ok.
(This tankman will die in two days after taking this interview: mine exploded near his tank and he was hit in head)
5:40 radio intercept of chechen communications: hey Ruslan, take that fucking deputies to me, i got russian soldiers fighting, and these fucking bastards (deputies) will ask them to give up. they have great skills in doing this.
