Grozny’s Siege 1994 - English Translation

Didn’t see a translation of this interesting dialogue on all of youtube The dialogue is between colonel Ivan Savin of the 131st motor brigade (nicknamed Alik by his father-name Aleksey, a lot of Chechens knew russian commanders personally because they used to serve together few years earlier in the Caucasus district) and unidentified Chechen commander (most probably Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev) just after Colonel Savin with his brigade took Railway Station. Chechens ask him to leave and come back as a guest and to show mercy to his troops’ mothers. Later you can hear Savin asking for artillery support, reinforcements and later agony and cry for help after the station was stormed by Chechens from nearby buildings with grenade launchers and mortars. Savin and almost 90% of his brigade dies with all the equipment and armored vehicles (also due to friendly artillery fire). Music is by These Trees Could Talk - From Roots to Needles
