This military and societal music video by Alexey Filatov, “Our Troop,” is dedicated to the anniversary of the creation of the Alpha Group and the actions of the union’s members during the terrorist attack in Budennovsk.
The video immerses viewers in that terrifying event and allows them to imagine themselves in one of those soldier’s places on a sensory level.
Here we used an alternating sequence of two parallel times: the past, during the storming of the building, and the potential present, when we see the same soldiers in their civilian lives. However, over the course of the video, it becomes clear that the bullets of the past reached them in the “present,” and on that fateful day, they were not able to survive.
The battle and firefight scenes are recreated from actual events during the Budennovsk terrorist attack.
The video was viewed more than 1 million times on social media.
