good lord is that a can o worms..
The short answer is 'yes'...

A much more complete answer can be found in the Chechyan war uniform facebook group. It is not the most active group in FB, but there are LOTS of photos and seemingly a fair number of people who know a LOT more than I do.

Hi Charlie,

If you are a facebook user, this group gives you a taste of the options.

There is a group in Virginia that reenacts a naval infantry unit that fought in Chechya, they show up at the Tank Farm open house in Nokesville, VA every summer.

Some links of them, many from the show:

There are a couple of Osprey books that might help. One on the Chechnya war and one on the post-Soviet Russian army come to mind.
