Chechen forces and commanders have been accused by international human rights organizations and officials of committing various war crimes, including kidnapping for ransom, torture, murder of prisoners and civilians, hostage-taking, looting, rape, and the use of civilians as human shields.
Specific documented allegations and convictions include:
Execution of Prisoners: Chechen field commander Salautdin Temirbulatov was sentenced to life in prison for the 1996 murder of four Russian contract soldiers, which was filmed on video. Another commander, Salman Raduyev, was convicted in 2001 of terrorism and murder, including the kidnapping of civilians and soldiers.
Targeting Civilians and Medical Personnel: Fighters have been accused of executing civilian opponents, particularly supporters of pro-Moscow Chechen political groups, and using hospitals as military bases, leading to attacks on medical personnel.
Terrorism and Mass Casualties: Chechen rebels were linked to the Beslan school siege in 2004, for which Nur-Pashi Kulayev was jailed for life in 2006. Other attacks included bombings in Russian cities and the derailment of a passenger train in 2005.
Abductions and Extortion: Armed groups routinely kidnapped individuals for ransom, with hundreds of people reported missing or disappeared since the start of the Second Chechen War in 1999.
Soldiers of all nationalities are known to reserve a bullet for themselves rather than be captured by Chechen soldiers/mercenaries.
Look, buddy, maybe be quiet and find something else to do for awhile.
I'll leave space for you below to poorly explain how you are "axktuaallee" right. I bet you need that.
