“Aliia describing combat in the 2nd Chechen war when she was a soldier
“He (her comrade in a combat zone) touched me, he rubbed my shoulder, and said now. Then he pressed the trigger and he shot the enemy. He said to me it’s simple, now it’s your turn. I saw through the scope, I saw the face with a beard and with the hat. He said do it now. I pressed the trigger and it was silence and I didn’t look again and closed my eyes. Then he told me good job. I laid there for maybe an hour.”
I shortened this a bit but this is word for word what she described doing in war, at night, with a gun she doesn’t know the name of and didn’t know how it worked. 🤣 Great journalism!”
