So when looking at such a project, I am trying to think holistically (e.g. using CGPT to point out the obvious).
With the equipment you have (and the equipment you want to add to it), and the fact that you seem to be able to travel at will to this place, I deduce money is no object for you. If so, second advice would be to invest in taking a photojournalism workshop. Magnum has some, as does Noor and many other agencies and schools.
The location is the capital city of a country in Central Asia or Caucasus. Without wanting to generalize -
Havent't you noticed MFStooges trying to beat me in taking over the ice cream industry in that country, post-revolution?Are you afraid you'll get "scooped"? No one is going to jump on the plane or train to beat you to the revolution. You don't need to maintain such a level of vague secrecy - it's starting to seem .... imaginary.

Better save then sorry.
Why? It’s no different than folks concealing their real names
let’s let Reza keep his personal business to himself if he so chooses.
Well, if his justification for being reticent is that he doesn't want to be identified at the location (like "I'll be Victoria Park, Toronto, noon tomorrow, taking photos with my Hasselblad", which allows someone to go there and identify me by where I am and the camera and potentially harass or steal from me), then that's fine. Reluctance to expose yourself is as good a reason as any to not divulge information.

Which actually makes me wonder if one can photograph a hockey game with a Hasselblad.
...
Lets move on now.
The Hasselblad might be good for photographing the aftermath, as the streets are emptying or once they are empty, but if you are indeed dealing with a riot (or the possibility of) and you absolutely want to shoot this on film, then any solid SLR with either a zoom or a small variety of lenses and a good meter will be much more adequate.
And by "variety of lenses" I include a good telephoto.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding here - a Hasselblad V-Series is a SLR and has different viewfinders, including a prism. With that, it works like any other SLR. And I have a 150mm Sonnar CF, which is quite ok.
