- The First Battle of Grozny was the Russian Army's invasion and subsequent conquest of the Chechen capital, Grozny, during the early months of the First Chechen War. The attack would last from December 1994 to March 1995. The initial assault resulted in considerable Russian casualties and demoralization in the Russian forces.
Mid-afternoon, the first battalion of the 131st MRB occupied the train station. The unit parked their tanks and armored personnel carriers around the station to wait for orders, around which time Chechen security minister Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev, who had served alongside Russian commanding officer Colonel Ivan Alekseevich Savin prior to the encounter and was worried about bloodshed on both sides (likely concerned for the safety of his old friend), extended a desperate plea to Savin (nicknamed Alik by Atgeriyev in the brief communication), proposing a negotiation for Savin to "withdraw his men and come to him as a guest", an offer which the latter had no choice but to reject due to having insufficient permission to call a ceasefire.
Sometime after, a Russian communications officer heard the words "Welcome to Hell" on his headset. Shortly after, Chechen defenders in the depot buildings, the post office, and the five-story building surrounding the station opened devastating automatic and anti-tank fire. The surviving Russian troopers took cover inside the station, then the Chechens completed their ambush by setting it on fire. Colonel Savin radioed for help and artillery fire, but help never arrived. Most distress calls from the 131st went unanswered. No Russian reinforcements reached the railway station.

the conversation about the chechen dude telling the former russian friend to go away still gives me chills
He is not his friend, Ali Adaev and Savin had never met before this day, it was just his attempt to persuade
@@Danissimo321they both fought in the Soviet-afghan war together?
@thenobody1641 No, as I remember, Adaev hadn't served in the army, and he became field commander after 1991
@@thenobody1641 i think they did fight together, i heard the original audio somewhere
They fought together. They'll show them the horrors of what being a traitor is.
When I heard "Alyk" I instantly recognized that voice recording, thanks for another banger
I'm definitely going to cry when I'll hear that.
A sad tale, one all too common in war.
link? im not familiar with this but curious
@@komradtheslav7913 czcams.com/video/xSjSPQIZdQs/video.html&ab_channel=Noko%27Kusovai
@@komradtheslav7913 it's in the description
"Alik, you and I will die. What's the point of all this?"
Alik is a Chechen soldier. The subject of the things talked about on the radio in front of him is actually Bagreyev the commander who called for the Chechens to stop some kind of war Bagreyev says that he does not want to kill and even allows them to surrender and leave but the Chechens continue to shoot RPGs
Alik, maybe while it’s not too late,” the Chechen said over the radio. “Tell your men to retreat. Don’t do this, don’t do this. In any case, Alik, you and I will die. What’s the point of all this? Who will win this? You and I will not win this, understand? If we or I see you in the action, I won’t show you mercy, just like you won’t, understand? It’s better if you come to me as a guest. Retreat your men, have pity for their mothers, have pity for your guys, retreat them. Give the order to retreat
Radio Exc.
@@berattn0 man, that's heavy.
@@berattn0Alik is a Russian soldier
@@berattn0imagine you are Italian and the Germans invading you telling "just lay your weapons brother, otherwise we will die". Logic
I saw the premier notification and then I saw the first comment talking about alyk. Fuck that conversation is one of the saddest things I saw. Imagine fighting alongside your comrade in Afghanistan for basically no reason, forming a close bond, and getting to be friends. Just for you two to stamd opposed to eachother in another battlefield again for basically no reason. War is hell, the price of war isn't numbers on a screen, it's sons, husbands, fathers, friends, comrades, and civilians.
To be honest I don't think that it really happened, maybe only few occasions. Moreover, federal soldiers were protecting Russian people and Chechnya and were fighting against bandits, so they had reason
@@Danissimo321 a few occasions too many frankly
thankfully this region is now at peace
"War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse."
Possibly the next one or the next next one
Those mi 24s in the backgroud and the building's windows lighting with the gunshots had me going crazy. Really appreciate how much detail and work you put into these man, take care ❤
Thank you friend
@@HistoryFeelsyooo man I have a suggestion I know you don't cover south America a lot but I was wondering if u can do something about mexico and cartels and a song you could choose is: Sonríeme by la tropa vallenata but you're mexican military fighting (insert cartel group) in (insert location)
that "Alyk" hit hard, i knew the very same second what i was listening to, great work
The story of Alik and his friend is one of the most tragic war stories. Once comrades fighting shoulder to shoulder, they were ultimately compelled to turn against each other...
Я не праздную новый год, зато я вспоминаю эти события. Пока играю в какой-нибудь около-реалистичный шутер, включаю подобную музыку.
Bro dropped a banger and thought we wouldn’t notice
Its just banger after banger man, I live for this!
Goodbye Maria, I’m Off To Korea. But you are a U.S. Marine on a Ridge During a Snow Storm in The Chosin Reservoir fighting off the Chinese Army as they Advance.
This could be good.
Yep being made now, thanks for the suggestion
@@HistoryFeels aye ty, this is such an honor, my grandpa was in the Marines during the Korean War
YOOOO W SUGGESTION the korean war is so underrated
This would be cool, my grandpa served in the Korean War in artillery
As someone who knows nothing about this conflict I really appreciate the background info you put in the description.
go read on the net about it fam
The conversation with Alik always hits so hard man...
Here is a translation of all the talks on the walkie-talkie on video (which I could hear and were not inserted into the subtitles):
"I can't see anything, help me!"
"I'm throwing a grenade! Where are they from anyway? They're everywhere!"
"I was attacked! Attention to all posts!"
"They're killing us here!"
"We're all going to die here, we're all finished! Mom..."
"Mom... Mom! Save me!"
Most likely, these are phrases from movies, but they really catch the soul
Isn’t this the battle from which “Call Moscow, on TV they are saying we are having ‘minor exchanges of fire’ - that’s that they’re calling us getting surrounded and destroyed” is from?
Yep that's the one
@@HistoryFeels why did you use it on the gruppa krovi video then tho?
@CharaDreemurr_Undertale the concept of X but Y videos is to make you feel the suffering they've gone through. The source of the background audio doesn't matter
@@krimome8933he didn't even explain what and how happened.
That's the problem
Concrete monoliths, everlasting mud, hellish terrain, must’ve been like fighting in n purgatory
Eternal memory to those lost in this conflict
Everything you post is a banger and a flashback to a different era
So glad you're back. Please don't ever leave.

Still so happy you’re back
The battle of grozny can be described with one word: *madness*
''...Resorted in demoralization of Russian forces...'' Yeah no, that- thats every third attack there
Cap.
Modern Russian Forces have way too many songs to be demoralized.
@@GuywithabadenglishOfficcial Double cap. Russians make these songs to try get their experiences and thoughts to the general public after the party sits them down and says "If you say anything? You're Gone. We know where to find you."
Therapy? Reaching out to people? Support? All is a bad, bad joke for the conscripts and professional soldiers alike.
Short version - these songs are the end result of extensive demoralizing experiences.
@@hallowedbeyourdays Nope.
Russian millitry songs are mostly as a way to show reality of war, with comraderie or personal experiences, also, what party? Name a single party that executed or imprisoned a person for speaking out against the government.
Also, Theraphy barely helps, and barely pays, no one wants to hear your problems, anywhere, anytime; there is no "Reching out to people" because they will make fun of you, again, this isn't "Russia-Exclusive". What Support do you have? They have millitary support, the only support you have is your chair.
And Professional soldiers are conscripts, Conscription dosen't change experience or training, those songs are a form of Therapy for those who need it, this is why they tell stories based on their wars, especially since modern-Day Russia offers support to PTSD'ed soldiers, same cannot be said about your best friend america, that makes their veterans homeless.
Also, again, Those songs are the oppposite, what is demoralizing is the war, not their support in the country, they have extremely high morale for their nation and for their homes, not for a politician like you think so.
People fight for their honeland, not for rich people to step on them, the songs are meant to raise morale and to document their experience, as almost everyone does, these songs are a result of Art and personal experiences.
Again, people who think conscription is bad because yes are stupid.
I'm queueing for the video, and I know I will probably cry listening to it when it's published.
This conversation with Alik is soo sad
So glad to see you posting again man, love your vibs but make sure not to be pressure to keep posting too much, so love your content and keep it up but also make sure not to overwork yourself too ❤
Thanks bro Ive got the energy at the moment for content but I'll keep it in mind for sure, appreciate it
Thank you. This is a sad and tragic song, and you conveyed this hopeless atmosphere very well in the video.
Hit harder when you understand all what they saying...
It was amazing, thank you :)
he's BACK!!!! THANKS GOD
welcome back homie!
Now you're back I thought I'd give a few ideas for future edits.
- 'Bad to the bone' but your driving a stolen m60 through the streets of San Diego
- 'Батько наш - Бандера' but a mysterious man just sprayed you in the face with a chemical.
- 'House Burning Down' but you're an LAPD officer during the Rodney King riots.
- Possibly some kind of dual Israel-Palestine thing like what you did with Russia-Ukraine, but if you think that's too risky, I don't blame you.
- 'Song of the Far Eastern army' but you're beginning your push into Manchuria.
- 'Heia Safari' but you're hunting down Simba rebels in the Congo.
- 'Bomber (Motorhead)' but your striking targets in Libya, 1986.
Some fictional/alt hist ideas:
- 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika' but you just kicked the French out of west Africa and overthrew the Afrika-Schild.
- 'GO!!!(FLOW)' but you're dogfighting over Tsushima and there's a J-20 on your tail.
The Heia safari one is genius.
Mine is "Don't tell mom i'm in Afghanistan" but your crew is taking cover behind the mountains, While waiting for reinforcements.
Comandante Guevara but You are a Cuban on bay of pigs/ Angola
Here's another one
Gimme Shelter- but you and Gordy are givin the SLA hell in Mogadishu
@@aguy6646 what about Gimme shelter but its Fallout? I think the songs name fits
another good idea would be 'Mashingveri/Машингвери' but you are trapped in donestk airport"
Man, I am so happy your back to making vids man. Ive gotten so used to finding diamond tier content creators only to find out Im late to the part lol
I had a heart attack when I saw this
Dude, I am so happy that you’re back to making these videos, I love history and your videos give me new stuff to research. Thank you so much
One of the best you never created, i really love thanks you
Great job with editing in this one, i really like the detail of the hinds in the background.
Thank you very much!
@@HistoryFeels Can you do Bakhmut next?
@@HistoryFeelseasily your best editing to date! Im very excited what else you have in store for us!
Imagine one of the soldiers jst listening to this while theyre fighting
The legend returned with everything
This is an absolute banger friend.
99 RedBalloons (99 LuftBalloons) by Nena, but you’re a German pilot engaging Russian fighters in WWIII.
I didn’t want to feel feelings today but here I am, feeling
I just recently discovered this song and have loved it and chechnya had always been fascinating to me
Can't wait for the new video
"На меня напали, внимание всем постам" - фраза Советского солдата из Метал Гир Солид 5 Фантомная боль
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this
Eternal remembrance to the young soldiers who lost their lifes in this horrible, cruel and suicidal war.
The conversation and song are one of the saddest things I've heard
Solid work as always bru, radio convo gives me chills every time I hear it
Also, video idea "Fire by Crazy World of Arthur Brown but you're on RT Alabama facing off against 2 battalions of NVA in Laos"
Вот тебе и итог "лихих" 90-х.
A russian soldier 8 months back made a video and it was him singing and playing a guitar and throught the whole song you can hear gun shots and explosions in the back... it truely is terrifying how similar it is to this video. The video about the russian soldier is called Just don't tell my mother im in bakhmut
Yes I know the one, it's very fitting.
Much like many of the other "forgotten wars", The Korean war being such an example, Its genuinely horrific learning about these things. This war lasted less than 2 years but somehow came out with 200,000+ casualties and brother vs brother. What a shitshow.
So happy you're back!!!
You used the Grozny documentary I told you about! 😃😃😃
Amazing video! Check out the song called Nuclear from Metal Gear Solid 5. There is lots of fitting songs and radio chatter from that game.
Summer Is Ending (Kino) but you're a Russian civilian watching the USSR collapse around you.
Man i love his video
"Have pity to their mothers"
Would love to see “when Johnny comes marching home” but you’re clearing the Jerry trenches with a trench gun (also love all your music❤)
you made a mistake with the music. this is the song of the second Chechen campaign of 1999-2000 - the invasion of Chechen militants into Dagestan in 1999.
the audio Chechen pleading his old Russian officer friend "Alik" will always haunt me
is there a clair de lune video you made it would be really cool to have one with background rifle sounds.
We are *SOOOOOO* F****ING BACK BOYS
when I heard this several days ago, I believed that russians decided to launch an attack on our trench
I should really avoid listening to this type of music when I'm on the 0 line
the chechen war is genuinely one of the most depressing wars in recent history
Mate now you're forced to do this
"Just don't tell mom i'm in Chechnya / Ты только маме что я в Чечне не говори but you're there, again."
I have order and I have no opportunity not to obey.
Как же мы тебя ждали
When I heard the the recording I knew what this was about. And trust me, it's not about war. It's about having to make the worst choice in your life. Killin. Your. Best. Friend. Your Brother. Your one, only and true brother. The only mf that knows what every movement, or words mean.. Trust me, and every mf that has a bestfriend that the russian commander, Alyk, knew that his bestfriend wasn't joking, and trust me that he knew that it was painful for his brother to know thta he was about to kill him...
Should be ineresting. The song is kinda misplaced, because it's about the 1999 events in Dagestan rather than New Year Grozny fuckup.
Fits the theme well enough and other songs have been done a lot I thought why not use this
@@HistoryFeels I really recommended you songs "Chechnya is in fire, there is no Afghan here" and "In the North Caucasus in the dark". Russian names are "Чечня в огне, здесь не Афган" и "На Северном Кавказе в темноте". This is the most touching songs about chechen wars in my opinion(and I have listened a lot of them)
P.s. song "Chechnya is in fire, there is no Afghan here" is written by soldiers of 81 regiment, who was destroyed in Grozny with 131 brigade during new year night
"We have two wounded, one gone."
"What do you expect me to do?"
This song is about the war in Dagestan, not Chechnya. The war in Dagestan happened in 1999 when a group of Chechen combatants invaded in there.
“Suspicious mind” but you’re a D-Boy in a Black Hawk on the way to Mogadishu
good shit as always man
"THE ROOKS HAVE ARRIVED" BUT YOU'RE PROVIDING CAS ABOVE DONBASS
Y'know, I'd like to see something more medieval coming soon, though this I can expect to be good, especially after the last video
It’s crazy how the word “mother” is written very similarly in other languages besides English
take the word “mama” in English. Now compare it to Spanish, Russian, German, Italian, Vietnamese, Swedish… really shows how universal your parents are. Sorta fitting for this song because it’s about a soldier writing to his mother about war.
Pleaseee post more you are a blessing to the entire internet
I will bro don't worry
@@HistoryFeels Thank you, time to flex to my cousin I got a response from da MAN HIMSELF
Idk if you do ww1 anymore, but if you see this i'd love to see something about the final light horse charge of beersheba. none the less good to see you posting again.
I see that in the description and in many comments it is believed that Ivan Savin aka Alyk and the Chechen commander were friends and served together in Afghanistan. But after doing some research, it seems that it's not the case, they never knew each other and the identity of chechen commander is still debated
Dark is the night but you're in a broken home behind the frontline in stalingrad
For whom the bell tolls but youre an M1 Abrams tank commander rolling your platoon across the Iraqi Desert.
The history in the description is partly true
Not a battalion, but a brigade ended up on the station due to lack of maps of the city, and overall lack of preparations.
Most likely, the head (the president)
decided to make a quick rush to the grozny to scare away the chechens (or they just wanted to make a war catastrophe for some reason)
Being on the station, brigade was surrounded, and were shot from 2 chechen positions, a 5-floor house at the front, and bunch of wagons on the railways, close to the station.
There was like 3 attempts to reach the trapped battalion, but again, due to lack of preparations and overall brain issues of general (Pulikovsky) who ruled that group of attackers, none of them arrived.
So the commander of the battalion, I. Savin, decided to extract the brigade with its own resources.
they divided on 4 groups, and while meeting some chechen forces, most of the soldiers managed to reach russian forces. Sadly, Savin died during that battle.
Yea, it appears my english isnt that great for such speeches. Lol
I'm so glad his back!
As soon as I heard "Alik", I knew I was gonna be sad lol
"Rebel Yell! But you are really Rebel Yelling with your Confedarates💂🪖 brothers while charching against the human wall of Union Soldiers🇺🇸💂🪖 during the Civil War...
HistoryFeels has risen once more
the tragedy of the Chechen Wars is that they were never truly won. The warlord in control of Chechnya during the war simply became the leader of his own district within the Russian Federation, and is paid large sums of rubles to keep him in line. To this day, Chechnya is the most heavily subsidized region in all of Russia.
Glad that you're back
He does not miss
Another great video! Please do next - Katyusha/Катюша but you crossing the Dnieper.
Keep going! Its awesome!
HES BACK
I would like to see, "Réveillez-vous, Picards!" but Charles the Bold is being a bit too bold.

Hey man, another quality video. Please can you make a video using "sabotage" by the beastie boys or "run through the jungle" by creedence Clearwater revival. Thanks, and keep it up
For people who know Russian I really recommend book "Я - Калибр-10" analyzing in detail what happened with 131 Brigade during New Year night. It has also full transcript of the radio communication
I liked the video, It’s HistoryFeels I already know it’s gonna be good
Thanks man that made me smile
