BC’ers may remember
pictures from the Russo-Georgian War of BMP’s spray painted with grafitti and the Cyrillic word BOCTOK
. That was Sulim Yamadayev’s VOSTOK Battalion of former Chechen guerrillas who went over to the Russians.

It’s not hard to imagine Sulim double crossing the Kremlin and going over to the other side. He had switched sides before.
