Event Khojaly massacre 3 cites - Academic consensus: fleeing civilians were deliberately killed at close range along a corridor that failed in execution; toll 161-485; 366th's role material but undocumented; characterisation: war crime / crime against humanity, not genocide.
- Cornell (2001) treats the Russian 366th Motor Rifle Regiment's involvement as militarily decisive for the assault but locates responsibility for the corridor killings on the Armenian side rather than as Russian-directed.
- Not contested in academic literature: deaths of fleeing civilians at close range, the existence of an announced corridor that failed in execution, Armenian responsibility (with 366th support) for the assault and killings, the rejection of "spontaneous close-quarters combat" framing. Still contested: the precise toll, chain of command for the corridor failure, the post-mortem mutilations, and the legal characterisation.
