Putin has failed to learn lessons from the 1990s, and opposition against the war in Ukraine at home will grow

ABC  

Russians, so the cliché goes, are a stoic lot. Parallels to another war By the end of that year Yeltsin, in response to Chechen demands for independence, had instigated the first Chechen war — a bloody, ill-disciplined campaign that cost tens of thousands of lives and marked the beginning of the end of Russia's brief flirtation with liberal democracy. The Yeltsin regime built the case for war on the fears many Russians held of Chechens — predominantly Muslim, darker than Slavs, and in the minds of many Russians, generally associated with organised criminal activity. Like Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, Yeltsin expected the use of overwhelming force would result in a quick victory, and much like this assault on Ukraine, the first advances of the Chechen war seemed to be led by young, scared, and confused conscripts. The latest example came from within the highly controlled state media apparatus itself, when Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor with Channel One, burst onto the studio floor holding a sign calling for a stop to the war as the main evening news bulletin was going to air.
