It is hardly a leap of faith to presume that few members of the armed forces were happy with the Chernomyrdin government's pleading with Chechen warlord Shamil Basaev after he and his men captured a hospital and took more than one thousand hostages in June 1995 in the town of Budennovsk in the Stavropol region.
By then, since the hospital hostage taking in the southern Russian town of Budennovsk in 1995, Basaev had gained a reputation as a savage, a man who had himself videotaped sentencing to death a 'collaborator' (as he called Chechens who cooperated with the Russian army), and a man who talked constantly of a Jihad and calling the Russians 'godless barbarians'.
