“Fear is exhausting.”
Arkady Babchenko, One Soldier's War in Chechnya
“Den tunga röda solen sänker sig långsamt bakom horisonten. Tillsammans med solen dör också vi. Vi har ingen ålder, vårt liv är en dag långt. Vi föds som spädbarn i gryningen, vi är vuxna kring lunch och dör på kvällen. Vi jäktar, flänger omkring och lever upp livet. Idag är vi redan åldringar. Vi är 22 timmar och 15 minuter gamla.”
Arkadij Babtjenko
“The military operation to overthrow the Dudayev regime was launched on 11 December 1994. It was poorly planned—recall the then minister of Defense General Grachyov’s announcement that he would ‘capture Grozny with two regiments in two hours.’ From the outset, the army was betrayed by the high command. Its soldiers were insufficiently trained, depressed and demoralized; they did not understand the aims of this war, and they were treated as cannon fodder.”
Arkady Babchenko, One Soldier's War
