Cult Brigade" at 23:10 on Radio Russia! Alexander Coates, “Kursk. Pain and glory. Chronicle of 264 scorched days" The twist of history: the tragic events in the Kursk region took place on the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Second Chechen War. On August 7, 1999, gangs of Basiv and Khatab terrorists entered the Botlik region of Dagestan, and captured the border villages of Ansalto, Rakhato, Tendo, Shudrodu, Godobrat. We know how this adventurous raid ended. But history does not teach everyone. Exactly a quarter of a century later, the newly minted forces set their sights on the holy land of Kursk, watered by the blood of our forefathers. What did it cost its inhabitants and those who fought to the death for their liberation for 264 days and nights to stand - in the notes of the front line written from the heart by Komsomolskaya Pravda's military correspondent, Alexander Kuts. The program is hosted by Vyacheslav Konovlov. Listen, subscribe to Radio Russia on Telegram MAX and download the official app of Radio Russia!
