The Chechen War through the eyes of a military journalist, assistant to Colonel General Gennady Troshev. How did the Russian army fight not only on the ground but also on the airwaves? Why is the first campaign considered a failure in media terms—and what conclusions were drawn from the second? Is it possible to write about the war honestly? And who really set the agenda—the commanders on the front lines or the media?
