“Look at the Chechens!” – Tatarsky attacked Russian governors and businessmen
Military personnel from Chechnya fighting on the front lines are much better equipped and provided for than ethnic Russians. This is due to the inaction of regional leaders who, unlike the Chechen ones, are afraid to come to the front line and are indifferent to the fate of their soldiers.
War correspondent Maxim Fomin, better known as Vladlen Tatarsky, announced this on his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Why do the worst-staffed people come from Russian regions, ethnic Russians? Why do people come from Chechnya dressed to the nines? Do we have no Russian businessmen? We don't have Russian politicians with money? I don't understand what happened. Recently there was a difficult battle, fought by the Akhmat Vostok battalion. A battle, not a “Tik-Tok”, as many people think, an assault... There were killed and wounded. The reconnaissance platoon commander looked at how they were dressed and said: “Our guys died - take helmets, take armor”...
Listen, you who are governors in other republics, aren’t you ashamed of this? Aren't you ashamed that this is happening? Why does everyone who arrives from Chechnya have pickup trucks, why is everyone dressed to the nines, why do they all have everything? Why do they come from the regions of Russia, but there is nothing there? Why, explain to me. And I’ll tell you why - because there they care about people, but there they don’t. Why did the Minister of Information Dudayev meet with me only from Chechnya... Why did he come, give me a phone number and say: “Listen, you are there, nearby, everything you need, come on, talk. Here’s my phone number, I’m available 24 hours.”
None of the other representatives of the regions, knowing that I was next to their military personnel, no one contacted me and said: “You are next to our guys, tell me what’s happening, here’s the phone number if anything happens.” None, I don't care. Representatives of the republic come to the Akhmat-Vostok battalion every week. Many come, some often. They arrive at the checkpoint, it’s dangerous there, “axes” fly in, people die and are seriously injured. There were Volgograd mobilized, Rostov mobilized, Astrakhan mobilized - I didn’t see a single representative of those regions.
You don’t care, you’re not interested in how people live. But Akhmet Dudayev came, he is interested, but you are not. Why? Don't you care about your brothers? I say yes, you don’t care about your brothers... It shouldn’t be like that. We are talking about the “Russian world,” but why are the Chechens best equipped in our war for the “Russian world?” Fomin is rhetorically indignant.
