Дудаева, боевых действиях как в 1994-1996 гг. (наведение конституционного порядка), так в 1996-1999 гг. и в 1999 – начале 2000-х гг. (контртеррористическая операция) до современных попыток осмыслить их последствия. В отличие от официальных сводок, издание давало читателям не только хронику боевых действий, но и анализ последствий конфликта. Несмотря на череду глобальных кризисов последних лет – от Сирии до Специальной военной операции на Украине, израильско-палестинского конфликта, – эта тема продолжает занимать особое место в общественном сознании и медийном пространстве России. Цель – анализ публикаций М. Мурадова за 2019-2025 гг. и выявление основных причин устойчивой актуальности темы «чеченских войн» в российском обществе (свидетельство – миллионные просмотры некоторых статей на сайте), поскольку газета возвращается к этим событиям через воспоминания очевидцев, анализ архивов и репортажи из восстановленной Чеченской Республики. Контент-анализ статей М. Мурадова, чеченца по национальности и очевидца большинства описываемых событий, позволяет выявить ключевые нарративные стратегии осмысления травматического опыта через призму индивидуальных судеб, архивных документов и визуальных свидетельств разрухи.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>For more than three decades, which have passed since the beginning of the crisis in the Chechen Republic, etc. "Chechen" wars, "Kommersant" remains one of the few publications, consistently wrote about them – from the congress of the Chechen people in 1990, the coming to power of D. Dudaev, in combat operations as in 1994-1996 (the establishment of constitutional order), so in 1996-1999 and in 1999- early 2000s. (counterterrorism operation) to modern attempts to make sense of their implications. Unlike the official summaries, the publication gave readers not only a chronicle of the fighting but also an analysis of the conflict’s consequences. Despite a series of global crises in recent years – from Syria to the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – this topic continues to occupy a special place in the public consciousness and media space of Russia. The aim is to analyze the publications of M. Muradov for 2019-2025 years. and identifying the main reasons for the enduring relevance of the topic of the “Chechen wars” in Russian society (evidenced by the millions of views of some articles on the site), as the newspaper returns to these events through eyewitness recollections, archival analysis and reporting from the uprisings of the Chechen Republic. Content analysis of articles by M. Muradova, a Chechen by nationality and an eyewitness to most of the events described, allows us to identify key narrative strategies for making sense of traumatic experience through the lens of individual trials, archival documents, and visual testimonies of devastation.</p><p>Publications M. Muradov transcend propaganda clichés, their academic rigor does not prevent them from remaining human documents of the era, displaying both major political decisions and their consequences for ordinary people. The articles combine micro-histories of eyewitnesses, criticism of all sides of the conflict, and reflection on the limits of journalism under censorship. About the interest of Russian society in the events of the late 20th and early 21st centuries say views of publications on the site of the newspaper "Kommersant".</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>кризис в Чеченской Республике</kwd><kwd>чеченцы</kwd><kwd>Муса Мурадов</kwd><kwd>«чеченские войны»</kwd><kwd>контртеррористическая операция</kwd><kwd>наведение конституционного порядка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>crisis in the Chechen Republic</kwd><kwd>Chechens</kwd><kwd>Musa Muradov</kwd><kwd>"Chechen wars"</kwd><kwd>counter-terrorism operation</kwd><kwd>restoration of constitutional order</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Асташкин Н.С.
