Marina Maltseva, ex-instructor and director of the press service for the Perm Militia for the past 25 years, filmed the events of her mission accompanying a special police detachment in Chechnya. This tragic story, widely known today, ended in the death of 43 policemen in an ambush. For the official version, the war in Chechnya is always filmed for History, which is why it is often pompous. The amateur images taken by the army and the militia are quite different. They don’t try to conceal the weariness of war, which becomes a dangerous routine that tortures minds and bodies. Today, Maltseva often visits the Perm cemetery to meditate on the graves of her death colleagues.
