I have a book for you two to read, not bad as books go, its called

A Dirty War

By Anna Politkovskaya

A Russian Journalist who travelled in Chechnya.

It takes a critical look at the war and both sides and the people in the middle.

The interviews with the soldiers are extremely interesting and relate to other things I have heard about not only the conscripts but the contract soldiers as well.

It also gives a lot of detail on who is making money out of this war on both sides.

It bears out my own theory and that of a few Russian experts I know that this war is a poisoned two bladed dagger aimed at Russia as well as at the North Caucasus.

Read it even if only to trash it.

Politkovskaya is almost universally despised in Russia as a presstitute and bleeding heart and a liar. There are peaceniks in Russia too.
