Basayev in the infobox

I don't understand why he is repeatedly included in the list of separatist commanders. The other listed commanders are Vladislav Ardzinba and Ludvig Chibirov, heads of Abkhazia and South Ossetia respectively. But there were many other people with status higher than that of Basayev (who headed Gagra offensive and was later appointed commander of CMPC forces and deputy minister of defence of Abkhazia) - generals Sergei Dbar and Sultan Sosnaliyev, colonel Vladimir Arshba (first Abkhaz minister of defence), head of the CMPC Musa Shanibov. His role also wasn't the most important (and if it were some sources should have been brought confirming it).

Basayev was one of the prominent characters of the Abkhazian war but his inclusion in this list is not warranted. He's already mentioned in the articles about the War in Abkhazia and Gagra Offensive. Alæxis_¿question? 19:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I originally included him just as a notable representative of Caucasian volunteers who actually fought for the separatists. I have no problem with him being replaced with someone else if there is an appropriate replacement.Kami888 (talk) 05:27, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who's side did National Guard take?

There are some sources, like this one (anti-Shevardnadze, anti-Russian) which claim that National Guard fought for Zviadist forces. http://www.geocities.com/shavlego/rusintrv.htm There is also evidence that some National Guard generals indeed fought for Zhviadists. Does anyone have information about exactly which side the National Guard took? Kami888 (talk) 03:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russia

How can Russia have fought on two sides of the war? 51.9.92.86 (talk) 21:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well it wasn't. Official Moscow was allied to Shevardnadze and condemned separatism in Georgia back then. I remember Russian state TV calling abkhazian and ossetian fighters "bandits" those days. However, local "russian" political and military leaders (most of them probably not ethnic russians) openly or covertly supported the separatist movements due to various reasons. 95.32.208.110 (talk) 18:08, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
