Torturing prisoners is not merely a war crime that Russians perpetrate, it's part of Russian culture. Susan Sontag's 20-year-old essays may help us understand it.

Yes, Politkovskaya did great work, but also had a major platform. Were there Chechen journalists whose voices were silenced by bombs, or lack of platforms wanting to publish their work?
Chechnya’s Kadyrov shifts stance on POWs, touting efforts to bring home troops who surrendered in Ukraine
After years of maintaining that Chechen troops fighting for Russia against Ukraine do not and should not surrender, Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov has softened his stance on prisoners of war.
Today in Labor History February 5, 2000: Russian forces massacred at least 60 civilians in a suburb of Grozny, Chechnya.

However, as many as 8,000 civilians also died.

“Jan 20, 2026
After Adam Kadyrov's hospitalization following a car accident, the hospital in Grozny came under tight security forces control, checking medical staff's mobile phones and threatening punishment for any information leaks about the "heir's" condition.

Putin and the 1999 Apartment Bombs
"In September 1999, just weeks after a 46-year-old Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia, killing hundreds of people while they slept."
