Russia says Chechnya can’t leave. Chechnya says, “Watch us”
Russia invades. This is the ‘official’ kick-off.
Russia expects it to be like crushing a beer can. It is not.
Chechen fighters, who know every alley and mountain path, make the Russian army look like blind, drunk bears.
Grozny, a city, gets turned into a moonscape by Russian bombs. (Everybody remembers the city but forgets it was full of people who couldn’t leave.)
Russia loses thousands of conscripts—poor, scared kids from the provinces. (Everybody in Moscow tries to forget this.)
Tanks roll into city streets and are turned into scrap metal by guerrillas with rockets from upstairs windows.
There are atrocities on both sides. (Everybody only remembers the ones committed by the other side.)
Boris Yeltsin, facing an election, needs to look tough. The war is his tough-guy photo op. It is not going well.
Russian mothers start showing up at the front to drag their sons home. The army hates this.
After two years of humiliation, Russia signs a peace deal in 1996. It’s basically a surrender.
Chechnya gets de facto independence. Russia acts like this was the plan all along.
The Russian army goes home, broke and broken. They try to forget the whole thing.
Chechnya is ruined. No one wins.
Five years later, Russia decides round one was just a practice run...

"Some of the Russian conscripts in the First Chechen War in those documentaries have, like, Siberian or Uzbek accents... how does that work?"

Get the The First Chechen War mug.At first, no one knew who War was.
It started with whispers in servers — strange usernames joining and leaving without saying a word. Channels would suddenly go quiet. Memes stopped. Voice chats ended mid-sentence. Someone would type:
“Did you see him?”
“War is here.”
People thought it was a joke. Some kind of troll.
But then the big servers felt it.
Moderators lost control. Bots went offline. Rules vanished like they were never there. Entire chat histories were wiped clean, replaced by a single message:
⚔️ WAR HAS ARRIVED.
No profile picture. No status. Just that name.
War never spammed. Never argued. He didn’t need to.
Wherever he appeared, chaos followed.
⸻
Fear spread fast across Discord.
Servers locked down. Owners turned on verification walls. Mods stayed up all night watching member lists like security cameras.
But War always got in.
Gaming servers. School servers. Music servers. Even private friend groups.
And every time he joined, the same thing happened.
Arguments broke out for no reason. Friends turned on each other. Mods quit. Servers collapsed from the inside.
People realized something terrifying:
War didn’t destroy servers himself.
He made people destroy them.
⸻
Soon, his name became a warning.
“If War joins, leave immediately.”
“If you see that username, screenshot it.”
“Don’t talk to him.”
But no one ever saw him type.
He only watched.
And somehow, that was worse.

Then one night, the biggest Discord server on the platform went dark.
Millions of members.
Gone.
When it came back online hours later, there was only one channel left.
One message.
Discord belongs to anitok war now.

Get the anitok war mug.Postcode wars: A gang phenomenon in the UK, mostly in big cities, where rival gangs clash based on their postcodes. These conflicts can involve stabbings, shootings, and murders, often putting innocent members of the public at risk. Prison authorities sometimes assess inmates’ gang and postcode affiliations to prevent these wars from spilling over behind bars.
Lee: Bruv, what’s all this about postcode wars, in the news is it postmen fighting each other?
Frank: LOL, no you muppet! it means gang warfare in big city's bruv.
Lee: Get you Bruv LOL.
