Chechen dictionary

In 19 century Europeans used to say - "Russian will alter others” things in such a way, that even owner is not capable to know it". In war against Chechens, Russian leadership calls Chechens with terms representing the same as Russian army.

Any aggression always is accompanied by information war. The aggressor tries with the help of substitution of terms and concepts to deform true sense of an event. Gigantic propagation and use of terms-labels designated in advance, are described to camouflage reality and to give out lie for the truth. A classical example of similar tactics is propaganda campaign of Kremlin in Caucasus. Permanent reader of Kavkaz.org, Alexey Ivanenko sent vision of terminological war, which is conducted by Kremlin in Ichkeria in its publications.

Band, band formation - a description of units of Chechen army or group of civil guardsmen (see illegal armed formation). 

Bandit - Chechen soldier (see insurgent).

White Stockings - fabulous snipers from Baltic, supposedly battling in ranks of Chechen resistance during First Russo-Chechen war (1994-1996). Stress on an image, apparently, waft by masochist imaginations of the Russian heads.
