Ah, Lightstalker leaves his basement.... damned if I know why.

Keep us informed, I almost forgot that there was this place called Chechnya with all that israel stuff going on. Is the Grozny waterpark open yet?

Didn't they get that wooden waterslide in Virginia I told everyone about (and went down once!) for next to nothing?
So I'll meet up with that Russian, that Brazillian, the rest of the team from Brooklyn..and we'll start shooting.

Hello everyone new to the site wanted to say hello. I have been studying the Russian-Chechen war the past few years and have found it a very compelling story. I have read many books and even had a chance to meet and speak with Anna Politkovskaya. Few Americans have heard of Chechnya so glad to have found this site. Hope who ever is currently in the Kavkaz a safe trip and would look foward to hearing about your trip. Any books or dvd's out there that anyone recommends I would appreciate it.

permskiOMAN? i think he goes by the handle of 'infidel' now.

didn't seem too terrible of a dude, just falls opposite of most people on the board when it comes the chechnya issue. makes sense, seeing as he is russian (and a member of their OMAN forces, to boot).

LS, can you confirm that the Ruskies are all volunteer/contract fellas now? They claim there's no conscripts in Chechnya now.
