Russian Combat Operations In Tajikistan (1992-93)

Footage from 1992 or 1993 shows Russian Federation troops carrying out combat operations in Tajikistan.


Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a brutal five-year civil war broke out in Tajikistan, which resulted in as many as 157,000 deaths and displaced 800,000 people to other nations and displaced 1.5 million people internally.


Russia intervened on behalf of former communist strongmen of the Popular Front against various Islamist militias and liberal democratic reformist groups of the United Tajik Opposition (UTO). With Russian military support, the Popular Front was able to smash the opposition forces, although the military campaign has been described by Human Rights Watch as an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Pamiris and Garmis ethnic groups.
