Alla Pugacheva apologized to Dzhokhar Dudayev's widow

Alla Pugacheva called General Dzhokhar Dudayev an intelligent and decent man and apologized to his widow for not being able to do anything to keep him alive.

Singer Alla Pugacheva gave her first big interview after the start of the special operation in Ukraine and her departure from Russia, writes "Beware, News". The 3.38-minute interview was published on the YouTube channel of journalist Ekaterina Gordeeva* "Say Gordeeva".

One of the topics that the singer touched on in the interview was the first Chechen war.

"I remember the first Chechen war because I knew Dzhokhar Dudayev. He was such a decent, respectable, intelligent person. A handsome man. And what a wife! An artist, a writer, a politician. I'm even ashamed, She called me, thinking that I could help somehow. But how could I help? Nothing. I'm even ashamed to say hello to her. Alla Fedorovna, if you happen to see this interview, I apologize for not being able to do anything to keep Dzhokhar alive, to help you in any way,” she said in the interview.

The reasons for the First Chechen War will remain unchanged even after 50 years, a Chechen political scientist, who wished to remain anonymous, told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier.     

"One side wanted independence, the other side did not want to give it. They could not reach a compromise and allowed a bloody war. Responsibility for unleashing this war largely fell on Dudayev, because he could, in principle, stop this process if he wanted to. But he did not do it, did not want to, and what happened happened. Yeltsin is also to blame for starting the war, he had his own political reasons, he wanted to raise his rating, he played the Russian bear, but nothing good came of it. Maybe at the beginning there was a moment when he wanted to stop the war, but it was no longer in his power," he said.
