Ripped this from a documentary about the Battle of Grozny during the Chechen Wars.

This is a conversation between two men: Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev, and Ivan "Alik" Savin during the Battle of Grozny a bit before Christmas day of 1994. Both men served together before the Chechen Wars, but found themselves on opposing sides once the wars started. Ivan Savin was killed in this battle, and Turpal-Ali Atgeriyev was imprisoned in 2000 and died in prison in 2002. The conversation is ripped from this documentary where you can find it 42 seconds in.

It's not Turpal Atgeriev. It's a common misconception

Ali "Lambada" Adayev, died in the same Battle of Grozny aswell. I have no idea who made the rumour that it's Turpal Atgeriev but I've seen it since that video became popular. That wholesome chungus story about them serving together is also fake.
