Stories about the execution of Russian soldiers in Chechnya. What militants did with captured Russian soldiers in the Chechen war

Today, in connection with the events in Ukraine, many people use words whose meaning has been forgotten.
Do you want to know what genocide really is? Go back 20 years...
Do you want to fight? Look at the photo, chill...

In 1991-1994, the Russian population of Chechnya was subjected to murders, attacks and threats from the Chechens. Many were forced to leave Chechnya, being expelled from their homes, leaving or selling apartments to Chechens at a low price. Only in 1992, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 250 Russians were killed in Grozny, 300 went missing. The morgues were filled with unidentified corpses. Widespread anti-Russian propaganda was kindled by the relevant literature, direct insults and appeals from government stands, desecration of Russian cemeteries.

In July 1999, the Russian Ministry of Ethnic Affairs reported that in Chechnya from 1991 to 1999 more than 21 thousand Russians were killed (not counting those who died during hostilities), more than 100 thousand apartments and houses belonging to representatives of non-Chechen ethnic groups were seized, more than 46 thousand people were actually turned into slaves ...

From open letter a group of residents of the Naursky and Shelkovsky regions, formerly belonging to the Stavropol Territory, and in 1957 transferred to the Checheno-Ingushetia, addressed to Chernomyrdin, Shumeiko and Rybkin:

“With the coming to power of Dudayev, we have become residents of the reservation. During these three years, all Russian heads of farms were expelled. Collective farms and state farms were plundered. Forest belts are destroyed, telegraph poles are plundered. We didn't have an official money exchange, we weren't given vouchers. Teaching at the school is conducted only in the Chechen language, and the schools themselves and their equipment have been plundered. We have not received wages for two years, the old people - pensions. We constantly hear proposals and threats to get out to Russia. But we are in Russia. We are sons and daughters of Russia.

Russians are robbed, killed, humiliated, raped, but for some reason “human rights activists” do not notice this. Totally agree Last year in two settlements Naursky district - the villages of Naurskaya and Kalinovskaya:

beaten to death by A.A. Prosvirov,

shot at the desk of the deputy director of the Kalinovsky vocational school (vocational school) V. Belyakov,

stabbed and burned the head of the oil pumping station A. Bykov,

72-year-old grandmother A. Podkuyko was stabbed to death,

the workers of the state farm "Tersky" Shipitsyn and Chaplygin were stabbed to death, the chairman of the collective farm Erik B.A. was kidnapped (for whom they demanded a ransom of 50 million rubles),

the father and daughter of Jalilova were stabbed to death,

the old man Alyapkin was beaten (in the police) to death, the secretary of the SPTU Potikhonin was kidnapped and killed. And this is not all the victims.

It's hard to say how many apartments were robbed, how many people were beaten, how many were tortured. Breaking into the house, they beat them, they demand money, gold, which we never had. Tied to a chair after a robbery (unless, of course, they killed) old people with asthma, etc. (the family of the foreman of the Pobeda state farm), who die in a day or two.

Expelled, expelled from their homes 50% of the Russian population. They buy their houses, property for a pittance or simply for the transportation of the remaining things. On behalf of the 50,000 people living in these areas, on behalf of the 50,000 people who are being forced to flee from here into the depths of Russia, we ask: “Return us to the Stavropol Territory.”

From eyewitness accounts:

“There is not a single uninjured family in Grozny. The rape of a Russian was considered ordinary fun. During the robbery, the bandits resorted to the most sadistic methods. The old people were “persuaded” to give money and valuables with the help of a red-hot iron, younger men and women - with an electric soldering iron. Often a person died under torture by mistake - the gunner gave the wrong address.

The Stavropol law enforcement agencies initiated more than 300 criminal cases based on the statements of the refugees. The prosecutor who supervised them wrote that his hair stood on end from acquaintance with the materials.”

“An elderly woman brought photographs to the community. The whole family was shot: daughter, son-in-law, granddaughters - 14 and 16 years old. All were shot in the forehead. The dead were dragged to the kitchen so that they would not interfere with taking things out of the rooms. They left nothing - empty walls. The woman went to the police - once, twice, she asked to find the killers. After the third meeting with the police, several Chechens broke into her apartment, beat her and stabbed her. Scared. Now she hides among acquaintances - she is afraid to go home.”

The beginning of the fighting in Chechnya continued the mass exodus of Russians from Chechnya. From December 1994 to May 1995 alone, the Russian migration services registered more than 370,000 refugees from Chechnya (ITAR-TASS).

It was impossible not to react to this in any way ...

On the site of the Tukhcharskaya tragedy, known in journalism as the “Tukhcharskaya Golgotha ​​of the Russian outpost”, now “there is a solid wooden cross, erected by riot police from Sergiev Posad. At its base there are stones stacked in a hill, symbolizing Golgotha, withered flowers lie on them. On one of the stones, a slightly bent, extinguished candle, a symbol of memory, stands forlornly. And the icon of the Savior with the prayer "For the forgiveness of forgotten sins" is also attached to the cross. Forgive us, Lord, that we still do not know what kind of place this is ... six servicemen of the Internal Troops of Russia were executed here. Seven more then miraculously managed to escape.

ON A NAMELESS HEIGHT

They - twelve soldiers and one officer of the Kalachevsky brigade - were thrown to the border village of Tukhchar to reinforce the local policemen. There were rumors that the Chechens were about to cross the river, strike at the rear of the Kadar group. The senior lieutenant tried not to think about it. He had an order and he had to follow it.

They occupied a height of 444.3 on the very border, dug trenches in full height and caponier for infantry fighting vehicles. Below - the roofs of Tukhchar, a Muslim cemetery and a checkpoint. Behind a small river is the Chechen village of Ishkhoyurt. They say it's a robber's nest. And another one, the Galaites, hid in the south behind a ridge of hills. You can expect a blow from both sides. The position is like the edge of a sword, at the very front. You can hold on to a height, only the flanks are unsecured. 18 cops with machine guns and a violent motley militia - not the most reliable cover.

On the morning of September 5, Tashkin was woken up by a sentinel: “Comrade senior lieutenant, it seems like there are ...“ spirits ”. Tashkin immediately became serious. He ordered: “Raise the boys, only without noise!”

From the explanatory note of Private Andrei Padyakov:

On the hill that was opposite us, in the Chechen Republic, first four, then about 20 more militants appeared. Then our senior lieutenant Tashkin ordered the sniper to open fire to kill ... I clearly saw how, after the sniper shot, one militant fell ... Then they opened massive fire on us from machine guns and grenade launchers ... Then the militia surrendered their positions, and the militants went around the village and took us into ring. We noticed how about 30 militants ran across the village behind us.”

The militants did not go where they were expected. They crossed the river south of height 444 and went deep into the territory of Dagestan. Several bursts were enough to disperse the militias. Meanwhile, the second group - also twenty or twenty-five people - attacked a police checkpoint near the outskirts of Tukhchar. This detachment was headed by a certain Umar Karpinsky, the leader of the Karpinsky jamaat (a district in the city of Grozny), who personally reported to Abdul-Malik Mezhidov, the commander of the Sharia Guard. . At the same time, the first group attacked the height from the rear. From this side, the caponier of the BMP had no protection, and the lieutenant ordered the driver-mechanic to bring the car to the ridge and maneuver.

"Vysota", we are under attack! shouted Tashkin, pressing a headset to his ear, “They are attacking with superior forces!” What?! I ask for fire support! But "Vysota" was occupied by Lipetsk riot police and demanded to hold on. Tashkin cursed and jumped off the armor. “What the f… hold on?! Four horns per brother…”***

The denouement was drawing near. A minute later, a cumulative grenade that flew in from nowhere broke the side of the "box". The gunner, along with the tower, was thrown about ten meters; the driver died instantly.

Tashkin glanced at his watch. It was 7:30 am. Half an hour of battle - and he had already lost his main trump card: a 30-mm BMP machine gun, which kept the "Czechs" at a respectful distance. In addition, and the connection was covered, the ammunition was running out. We must leave while we can. Five minutes later it will be too late.

Picking up the shell-shocked and badly burned gunner Aleskey Polagaev, the soldiers rushed down to the second checkpoint. The wounded man was dragged on his shoulders by his friend Ruslan Shindin, then Alexei woke up and ran himself. Seeing the soldiers running towards them, the police covered them with fire from the checkpoint. After a brief skirmish, there was a lull. Some time later, local residents came to the post and reported that the militants had given half an hour to leave Tukhchar. The villagers took civilian clothes with them to the post - this was the only chance for salvation for policemen and soldiers. The senior lieutenant did not agree to leave the checkpoint, and then the policemen, as one of the soldiers later said, “got into a fight with him.”****

The force argument was convincing. In the crowd of local residents, the defenders of the checkpoint reached the village and began to hide - some in basements and attics, and some in corn thickets.

Tukhchar resident Gurum Dzhaparova says: He came - only the shooting subsided. Yes, how did you come? I went out into the yard - I look, it is standing, staggering, holding on to the gate. He was covered in blood and badly burned - no hair, no ears, the skin burst on his face. Chest, shoulder, arm - everything is cut with fragments. I'll take him to the house. Fighters, I say, all around. You should go to yours. Will you come like this? She sent her eldest Ramadan, he is 9 years old, for a doctor ... His clothes are covered in blood, burnt. Grandma Atikat and I cut it off, rather into a bag and threw it into a ravine. Somehow washed. Our rural doctor Hassan came, took out the fragments, smeared the wounds. He also made an injection - diphenhydramine, or what? He began to fall asleep from the injection. I put it with the children in the room.

Half an hour later, on the orders of Umar, the militants began to “wool” the village - a hunt for soldiers and policemen began. Tashkin, four soldiers and a Dagestani policeman hid in a shed. The barn was surrounded. They dragged cans of gasoline, doused the walls. "Surrender, or we'll burn you alive!" In response, silence. The fighters looked at each other. “Who is your senior there? Make up your mind, commander! Why die in vain? We don't need your lives - we'll feed you, then exchange them for our own! Give up!"

The soldiers and the policeman believed and left. And only when police lieutenant Akhmed Davdiev was cut by a machine-gun burst, they realized that they had been cruelly deceived. “But we have prepared something else for you!” Chechens laughed.

From the testimony of the defendant Tamerlan Khasaev:

Umar ordered to check all the buildings. We dispersed and two people began to go around the houses. I was an ordinary soldier and followed orders, especially a new person among them, not everyone trusted me. And as I understand it, the operation was prepared in advance and clearly organized. I learned by radio that a soldier had been found in the shed. We were told by radio the order to gather at the police post outside the village of Tukhchar. When everyone gathered, those 6 soldiers were already there.”

The burnt gunner was betrayed by one of the locals. Gurum Dzhaparova tried to defend him - it was useless. He left, surrounded by a dozen bearded guys - to his death.

What happened next was meticulously recorded on camera by the cameraman of the militants. Umar, apparently, decided to "educate wolf cubs." In the battle near Tukhchar, his company lost four, each of the dead found relatives and friends, they were indebted to blood. "You took our blood - we'll take yours!" Umar told the prisoners. The soldiers were taken to the outskirts. Four bloodlines cut the throats of an officer and three soldiers in turn. Another escaped, tried to escape - he was shot from a machine gun. Umar killed the sixth person personally.

Only the next morning, the head of the administration of the village, Magomed-Sultan Hasanov, received permission from the militants to take away the bodies. On a school truck, the corpses of senior lieutenant Vasily Tashkin and privates Vladimir Kaufman, Alexei Lipatov, Boris Erdneev, Alexei Polagaev and Konstantin Anisimov were delivered to the Gerzelsky checkpoint. The rest managed to sit out. Some local residents were taken to the Gerzelsky bridge the very next morning. On the way, they learned about the execution of their colleagues. Alexei Ivanov, after spending two days in the attic, left the village when Russian aircraft began to bomb him. Fyodor Chernavin sat in the basement for five whole days - the owner of the house helped him get out to his people.

The story doesn't end there. In a few days, a recording of the murder of soldiers of the 22nd brigade will be shown on Grozny television. Then, already in 2000, it will fall into the hands of investigators. Based on the materials of the videotape, a criminal case will be initiated against 9 people. Of these, justice will overtake only two. Tamerlan Khasaev will receive a life sentence, Islam Mukaev - 25 years.

About the same events from the press:

"I just approached him with a knife"

In the Ingush regional center of Sleptsovsk, employees of the Urus-Martan and Sunzha district police departments detained Islam Mukaev, suspected of involvement in the brutal execution of six Russian servicemen in the Dagestan village of Tukhchar in September 1999, when Basayev's gang occupied several villages in the Novolaksky district of Dagestan. A video cassette was confiscated from Mukaev, confirming the fact of his involvement in the massacre, as well as weapons and ammunition. Now law enforcement officers are checking the detainee for his possible involvement in other crimes, since it is known that he was a member of illegal armed groups. Before Mukaev's arrest, the only participant in the execution who fell into the hands of justice was Tamerlan Khasaev, who was sentenced in October 2002 to life imprisonment.

Hunting for soldiers

In the early morning of September 5, 1999, the Basayev detachments invaded the territory of the Novolaksky district. Emir Umar was responsible for the Tukhchar direction. The road to the Chechen village of Galayty, leading from Tukhchar, was guarded by a checkpoint where Dagestani policemen served. On the hill they were covered by an infantry fighting vehicle and 13 soldiers of the brigade internal troops aimed at strengthening the checkpoint from the neighboring village of Duchi. But the militants entered the village from the rear, and, having captured the village police department after a short battle, they began to fire at the hill. An infantry fighting vehicle buried in the ground caused considerable damage to the attackers, but when the encirclement began to shrink, senior lieutenant Vasily Tashkin ordered the infantry fighting vehicles to be driven out of the trench and open fire across the river at the car that brought the militants. The ten-minute hitch proved fatal for the soldiers. A shot from a grenade launcher demolished the tower. The gunner died on the spot, and the driver Alexei Polagaev was shell-shocked. Tashkin ordered the rest to retreat to a checkpoint located a few hundred meters away. Polagaev, who lost consciousness, was initially carried on his shoulders by his colleague Ruslan Shindin; then Aleksey, who received a through wound to the head, woke up and ran on his own. Seeing the soldiers running towards them, the police covered them with fire from the checkpoint. After a brief skirmish, there was a lull. Some time later, local residents came to the post and reported that the militants had given half an hour for the soldiers to leave Tukhchar. The villagers took civilian clothes with them - this was the only chance for salvation for policemen and soldiers. The senior lieutenant refused to leave, and then the policemen, as one of the soldiers later said, “climbed into a fight with him.” The force argument proved to be more persuasive. In the crowd of local residents, the defenders of the checkpoint reached the village and began to hide - some in basements and attics, and some in corn thickets. Half an hour later, the militants, on the orders of Umar, began cleaning up the village. Now it is difficult to establish whether the locals betrayed the military or whether the reconnaissance of the militants worked, but six soldiers fell into the hands of bandits.

‘Your son died due to the negligence of our officers’

By order of Umar, the prisoners were taken to a clearing next to the checkpoint. What happened next was meticulously recorded on camera by the cameraman of the militants. The four executioners appointed by Umar carried out the order in turn, cutting the throats of an officer and four soldiers. Umar dealt with the sixth victim personally. Only Tamerlan Khasaev 'blundered'. Having slashed the victim with a blade, he straightened up over the wounded soldier - he felt uneasy at the sight of blood, and he handed the knife to another militant. The bleeding soldier broke free and ran. One of the militants began to shoot after him with a pistol, but the bullets missed. And only when the fugitive, stumbling, fell into the pit, he was finished off in cold blood from a machine gun.

The next morning, the head of the village administration, Magomed-Sultan Gasanov, received permission from the militants to take the bodies. On a school truck, the corpses of senior lieutenant Vasily Tashkin and privates Vladimir Kaufman, Alexei Lipatov, Boris Erdneev, Alexei Polagaev and Konstantin Anisimov were delivered to the Gerzelsky checkpoint. The rest of the soldiers of military unit 3642 managed to sit out in their shelters until the bandits left.

At the end of September, six zinc coffins were lowered into the ground in different parts of Russia - in Krasnodar and Novosibirsk, in Altai and Kalmykia, in the Tomsk region and in the Orenburg region. Parents long time did not know the terrible details of the death of their sons. The father of one of the soldiers, having learned the terrible truth, asked to be entered in the death certificate of his son with a mean wording - ‘gunshot wound’. Otherwise, he explained, the wife would not survive this.

Someone, having learned about the death of his son from television news, protected himself from the details - the heart would not withstand the exorbitant load. Someone tried to get to the bottom of the truth and searched the country for his son's colleagues. For Sergei Mikhailovich Polagaev, it was important to know that his son did not flinch in battle. He learned about how everything really happened from a letter from Ruslan Shindin: ‘Your son died not because of cowardice, but because of the negligence of our officers. The company commander came to us three times, but never brought ammunition. He brought only night binoculars with dead batteries. And we were defending there, each had 4 stores…’

Hostage Executioner

Tamerlan Khasaev was the first of the thugs to fall into the hands of law enforcement agencies. Sentenced to eight and a half years for kidnapping in December 2001, he was serving a term in a strict regime colony in the Kirov region, when the investigation, thanks to a videotape seized during a special operation in Chechnya, managed to establish that he was one of those who participated in the massacre on the outskirts of Tukhchar.

Khasaev ended up in the Basayev detachment in early September 1999 - one of his friends seduced him with the opportunity to get captured weapons on a campaign against Dagestan, which could then be sold at a profit. So Khasaev ended up in the gang of Emir Umar, who was subordinate to the notorious commander of the ‘Islamic regiment special purpose’ Abdulmalik Mezhidov, Shamil Basayev’s deputy…

In February 2002, Khasaev was transferred to the Makhachkala pre-trial detention center and shown a recording of the execution. He did not retract. Moreover, the case already contained testimonies from residents of Tukhchar, who confidently identified Khasaev from a photograph sent from the colony. (The militants did not particularly hide, and the execution itself was visible even from the windows of houses on the edge of the village). Khasaev stood out among the militants dressed in camouflage with a white T-shirt.

The Khasaev trial took place in the Supreme Court of Dagestan in October 2002. He pleaded guilty only partially: ‘I admit participation in illegal armed formations, weapons and invasion. But I did not cut the soldier ... I just approached him with a knife. So far, two have been killed. When I saw this picture, I refused to cut, gave the knife to another.

‘They started first,’ Khasaev said of the battle in Tukhchar. - The BMP opened fire, and Umar ordered the grenade launchers to take up positions. And when I said that there was no such agreement, he assigned three militants to me. Since then, I myself have been held hostage by them.

For participation in an armed rebellion, the militant received 15 years, for the theft of weapons - 10, for participation in an illegal armed formation and illegal possession of weapons - five. For the encroachment on the life of a serviceman, Khasaev, according to the court, deserved the death penalty, however, in connection with the moratorium on its use, an alternative measure of punishment was chosen - life imprisonment.

Seven other participants in the execution in Tukhchar, including four of its direct perpetrators, are still on the wanted list. True, as Arsen Israilov, an investigator for especially important cases of the Directorate of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus, who investigated the Khasaev case, told a GAZETA correspondent, Islam Mukaev was not on this list until recently: “In the near future, the investigation will find out what specific crimes he was involved in. And if his participation in the execution in Tukhchar is confirmed, he may become our ‘client’ and be transferred to the Makhachkala pre-trial detention center.

And this is about one of the guys brutally murdered by Chechen thugs in September 1999 in Tukhchar.

"Cargo - 200" arrived on the Kizner land. In the battles for the liberation of Dagestan from bandit formations, a native of the village of Ishek of the Zvezda collective farm and a graduate of our school Alexei Ivanovich Paranin died. Alexei was born on January 25, 1980. Graduated from Verkhnetyzhminsk basic school. He was a very inquisitive, lively, courageous boy. Then he studied at the Mozhginsky GPTU No. 12, where he received the profession of a bricklayer. True, he did not have time to work, he was drafted into the army. He served in the North Caucasus for more than a year. And now - the Dagestan war. Went through several fights. On the night of 5 to 6 September fighting machine infantry, on which Alexey served as a gunner, was transferred to the Lipetsk OMON, and guarded a checkpoint near the village of Novolakskoye. The militants who attacked at night set fire to the BMP. The soldiers left the car and fought, but it was too unequal. All the wounded were brutally finished off. We all mourn the death of Alexei. Words of consolation are hard to find. On November 26, 2007, a memorial plaque was installed on the school building. The opening of the memorial plaque was attended by Alexei's mother, Lyudmila Alekseevna, and representatives from the youth department from the district. Now we are starting to make an album about him, there is a stand at the school dedicated to Alexei. In addition to Alexei, four other students of our school participated in the Chechen campaign: Kadrov Eduard, Ivanov Alexander, Anisimov Alexei and Kiselev Alexei, who was awarded the Order of Courage. It is very scary and bitter when young guys die. The Paranin family had three children, but the son was the only one. Ivan Alekseevich, Alexei's father, works as a tractor driver on the Zvezda collective farm, his mother, Lyudmila Alekseevna, is a school worker.

We mourn with you over the death of Alexei. Words of consolation are hard to find. http://kiznrono.udmedu.ru/content/view/21/21/

April, 2009 The third trial on the case of the execution of six Russian servicemen in the village of Tukhchar in the Novolaksky district in September 1999 was completed in the Supreme Court of Dagestan. One of the participants in the execution, 35-year-old Arbi Dandaev, who, according to the court, personally cut the throat of senior lieutenant Vasily Tashkin, was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment in a special regime colony.

Former member of the national security service of Ichkeria, Arbi Dandaev, according to the investigation, took part in the attack of the gangs of Shamil Basaev and Khattab on Dagestan in 1999. In early September, he joined a detachment led by Emir Umar Karpinsky, who on September 5 of the same year invaded the territory of the Novolaksky district of the republic. From the Chechen village of Galayty, the militants went to the Dagestan village of Tukhchar - the road was guarded by a checkpoint where Dagestani policemen were serving. On the hill, they were covered by an infantry fighting vehicle and 13 soldiers from the brigade of internal troops. But the militants entered the village from the rear and, having captured the village police department after a short battle, began to fire at the hill. An infantry fighting vehicle buried in the ground inflicted considerable damage on the attackers, but when the encirclement began to shrink, Senior Lieutenant Vasily Tashkin ordered the armored vehicle to be driven out of the trench and open fire across the river at the car that brought the militants. A ten-minute hitch turned out to be fatal for the soldiers: a shot from a grenade launcher near the infantry fighting vehicle demolished the tower. The gunner died on the spot, and the driver Alexei Polagaev was shell-shocked. The surviving defenders of the checkpoint reached the village and began to hide - some in basements and attics, and some in corn thickets. Half an hour later, on the orders of Emir Umar, the militants began to search the village, and five servicemen who hid in the basement of one of the houses had to surrender after a short firefight - a grenade launcher shot sounded in response to a machine gun burst. After some time, Aleksey Polagaev joined the captives - the militants "figured out" him in one of the neighboring houses, where the hostess hid him.

By order of Emir Umar, the prisoners were taken to a clearing next to the checkpoint. What happened next was meticulously recorded on camera by the cameraman of the militants. Four executioners appointed by the commander of the militants in turn carried out the order, cutting the throats of an officer and three soldiers (one of the soldiers tried to escape, but he was shot dead). Emir Umar dealt with the sixth victim personally.

Arbi Dandaev was hiding from justice for more than eight years, but on April 3, 2008, Chechen policemen detained him in Grozny. He was charged with participation in a stable criminal group (gang) and its attacks, an armed rebellion with the aim of changing territorial integrity Russia, as well as encroachment on the lives of law enforcement officers and illegal arms trafficking.

According to the materials of the investigation, the militant Dandaev turned himself in, confessed to the crimes committed and confirmed his testimony when he was taken to the place of execution. In the Supreme Court of Dagestan, however, he pleaded not guilty, saying that the appearance took place under duress, and refused to testify. Nevertheless, the court recognized his previous testimony as admissible and reliable, since they were given with the participation of a lawyer and no complaints were received from him about the investigation. The court examined the video recording of the execution, and although it was difficult to recognize the defendant Dandaev in the bearded executioner, the court took into account that the recording of Arbi's name was clearly audible. Residents of the village of Tukhchar were also interrogated. One of them recognized the defendant Dandaev, but the court reacted critically to his words, given the advanced age of the witness and the confusion in his testimony.

Speaking in the debate, lawyers Konstantin Sukhachev and Konstantin Mudunov asked the court to either resume the judicial investigation by conducting expert examinations and calling new witnesses, or to acquit the defendant. The accused Dandaev, in his last word, stated that he knew who led the execution, this man is free, and he can give his last name if the court resumes the investigation. The judicial investigation was resumed, but only in order to interrogate the defendant.

As a result, the examined evidence did not leave the court in doubt that the defendant Dandaev was guilty. Meanwhile, the defense believes that the court hastened and did not investigate many important circumstances for the case. For example, he did not interrogate Islan Mukaev, already convicted in 2005, a participant in the execution in Tukhchar (another of the executioners, Tamerlan Khasaev, was sentenced to life imprisonment in October 2002 and died soon after in the colony). “Practically all petitions significant for the defense were rejected by the court,” lawyer Konstantin Mudunov told Kommersant. “So, we repeatedly insisted on a second psychological and psychiatric examination, since the first was carried out using a falsified outpatient card. The court rejected this request. He was not sufficiently objective, and we will appeal the verdict.”

According to the relatives of the defendant, Arbi Dandaev developed mental disorders in 1995, after Russian servicemen wounded his younger brother Alvi in ​​Grozny, and some time later the corpse of a boy was returned from a military hospital, from whom internal organs(relatives attribute this to the trade in human organs that flourished in Chechnya in those years). As the defense stated during the debate, their father Khamzat Dandaev achieved the initiation of a criminal case on this fact, but it is not being investigated. According to lawyers, the case against Arbi Dandaev was opened to prevent his father from punishing those responsible for the death of his youngest son. These arguments were reflected in the verdict, but the court considered that the defendant was sane, and that the case had long been initiated into the death of his brother and had nothing to do with the case under consideration.

As a result, the court reclassified two articles relating to weapons and participation in a gang. According to Judge Shikhali Magomedov, the defendant Dandaev acquired weapons alone, and not as part of a group, and participated in illegal armed formations, and not in a gang. However, these two articles did not affect the verdict, since the statute of limitations had expired on them. And here is Art. 279 "Armed rebellion" and art. 317 "Encroachment on the life of an employee law enforcement agency”was pulled for 25 years and a life sentence. At the same time, the court took into account both mitigating circumstances (the presence of young children and confession), and aggravating ones (the onset of grave consequences and the particular cruelty with which the crime was committed). Thus, despite the fact that the state prosecutor asked for only 22 years, the court sentenced the defendant Dandaev to life imprisonment. In addition, the court satisfied the civil claims of the parents of the four dead servicemen for moral damages, the amounts for which ranged from 200 thousand to 2 million rubles.

Of the famous participants in the massacre of prisoners Russian soldiers and an officer three in the hands of justice, two of them are rumored to have died behind bars, others are said to have died in subsequent clashes, and someone is hiding in France.

Additionally, according to the events in Tukhchar, it is known that no one was in a hurry to help Vasily Tashkin's detachment on that terrible day, not the next one, and not even the next! Although the main battalion was only a few kilometers away from Tukhchar. Betrayal? Negligence? Deliberate collusion with militants? Much later, aviation flew into the village and bombed it ... And here, as a summary of this tragedy and, in general, about the fate of many, many Russian guys in the shameful war unleashed by the Kremlin clique and subsidized by some figures from Moscow and directly by the fugitive Mr. A.B. Berezovsky (there are his public confessions on the Internet that he personally financed Basayev).

The film includes the famous video of cutting off the heads of our fighters in Chechnya - details in this article. Official reports are always stingy and often lie. So on September 5 and 8 last year, judging by the press releases of law enforcement agencies, ordinary battles were going on in Dagestan. Everything's under control. As usual, casualties were reported casually. They are minimal - a few wounded and killed. In fact, just in these days, entire platoons and assault groups lost their lives. But on the evening of September 12, the news instantly spread through many agencies: the 22nd brigade of internal troops occupied the village of Karamakhi. General Gennady Troshev noted the subordinates of Colonel Vladimir Kersky. So we learned about another Caucasian victory for Russia. It's time to get rewards. "Behind the scenes" the main thing remained - how, at what terrible cost, yesterday's boys survived in lead hell. However, for the soldiers it was one of many episodes of bloody work in which they remain alive by chance. Three months later, the fighters of the brigade were again thrown into the thick of it. They attacked the ruins of a cannery in Grozny.

Karamakhinsky blues

September 8, 1999. I will remember this day for the rest of my life, because it was then that I saw death.

The command post above the village of Kadar was busy. Some generals I counted a dozen. Artillerymen scurried around, receiving target designations. Officers on duty chased the journalists away from the camouflage net, behind which radios crackled and telephone operators yelled.

... "Rooks" emerged from behind the clouds. In tiny dots, the bombs slide down and after a few seconds turn into pillars of black smoke. An officer from the press service explains to journalists that aviation is working with precision on enemy firing points. With a direct hit from a bomb, the house cracks like a walnut.

The generals have repeatedly stated that the operation in Dagestan is strikingly different from the previous one. Chechen campaign. There is definitely a difference. Every war is different from its bad sisters. But there are analogies. They don't just catch the eye, they scream. One such example is the "jewelry" work of aviation. Pilots and gunners, as in the last war, work not only against the enemy. Soldiers are dying from their own raids.

When a unit of the 22nd brigade was preparing for the next assault, about twenty soldiers gathered in a circle at the foot of Volchya Mountain, waiting for the command to go forward. The bomb flew in, hitting exactly in the midst of people, and ... did not explode. A whole platoon was then born in shirts. One soldier's ankle was cut off by a cursed bomb, like a guillotine. The guy, who became crippled in a split second, was sent to the hospital.

Too many soldiers and officers know about such examples. Too many - in order to understand: popular prints of victorious pictures and reality are different, like the sun and the moon. While the troops were desperately storming Karamakhi, in Novolaksky district Dagestan, a special forces detachment was thrown to the border heights. During the attack, the “allies” messed up something - fire support helicopters began to work in height. As a result, having lost dozens of killed and wounded soldiers, the detachment withdrew. The officers threatened to deal with those who fired at their own ...

No one knows about this, and those who knew have already forgotten, they don’t talk about it, and human rights activists only care about the Chechens.

People have been gone for a long time. Rest in peace.

In 1991, Dudayev came to power in Chechnya. Three years remained before the start of the first Chechen war.

Russians began to leave Chechnya, leaving their homes in native Russian territories.

Those who hesitated were killed, painfully and cruelly, children, women, old people, everyone, in broad daylight.

Eyewitness memories:

I was just born and raised in Chechnya (Nadterechny district, Shelkovskaya station), then I took my family and neighbors out of there (whom I could), and then I was a "Divorced Loch", and twice: from 1994 to 1996, and from 1999 to 2004. And here's what I'll tell you. In 1991-1992 (before the first war) tens of thousands of Russians were slaughtered in Chechnya. In the Shelk spring of 1992, the "Chechen Militia" confiscated everything from the Russian population hunting weapon, and a week later militants came to the unarmed village. They were in the real estate business. And for this, a whole system of signs was developed. Human intestines wound on a fence meant: the owner is no more, there are only women in the house, ready for "Love". Women's bodies, impaled on the same fence: the house is free, you can move in.
I saw columns of buses, which, because of the stench, could not be approached for a hundred meters, because they were packed with the bodies of slaughtered Russians. I saw women neatly sawn lengthwise with a chainsaw, children impaled on poles from road signs, guts artistically wound around a fence. We Russians have been cleaned from our own land like dirt from under fingernails. And it was 1992 - before the "First Chechen" there were still two and a half years left.
During the first Chechen war were captured video records of how underage Vainakhs had fun with Russian women. They put women on all fours and threw knives as if at a target, trying to get into the vagina. All this was filmed and commented on.

Atrocities of the CHECHENS Wikipedia. Article note

Firstly, the author would do well to know the exact wording of the concept of "genocide" - everything that is described in the article has nothing to do with genocide. Secondly, the sources are somehow murky - the guerrilla Govorukhin, Grachev directly responsible for the war in Chechnya, some kind of priest, etc. And who and where saw these notorious inscriptions "do not buy an apartment from Masha"? I live in Grozny and have never seen anything like it myself. As I did not see the massacres of the Russian-speaking population. But I saw it in Russian propaganda films describing "wild Caucasians" and "God's lambs-Russians". Theme for the bully. Also, statements about how Russians were not paid pensions and salaries look interesting. Ay! Lord! We're talking about the early 90s! Where and to whom were salaries paid at that time? They were not received by both Russians and Chechens. The same goes for crime. After the collapse of the Union, the criminal situation left much to be desired not only in Grozny, but throughout Russia. What, there were no gangsters and gang wars in Moscow in the early 90s? The same bandits in Grozny robbed exclusively Russians? Nonsense. Chechens were robbed no less, if there was something to take away. In general, this whole topic with the "genocide of Russians in Chechnya" appeared after the first war in Chechnya, when it turned out the way it happened. It is clear that the Kremlin did not think that it would turn out like this, they planned "in two days and with one battalion." But, after the massacre of the civilian population, everyone who was tied up immediately began to prepare a base to justify their war crimes in the eyes of the Russians and the rest of the world. But if the Russians believe for the most part, they will not deceive anyone in the world with such fairy tales. And why weren't there all these "facts" before the start of hostilities? Now for the numbers. A very interesting point is "21 thousand Russians were killed in Chechnya from 1991 to 1999." I believe that the reader, having read this information, should immediately understand once and for all that these are the victims of the "bloodthirsty Chechens." But, if we are talking about the period from 91 to 99, then not everything is so simple. As you know, during the winter battles for Grozny in 1995, up to 25 thousand residents of Grozny died under bombs and artillery strikes. These are the official figures that are recognized and Russian side. At the same time, both the Russian and Chechen sides claimed that at least 20 thousand of these 25 thousand are representatives of the Russian-speaking population. Naturally, 21 thousand Russians died during this period! How can they not die!? Secondly, if we are not talking about losses during the hostilities, then these people should have been killed mainly before the start of the war (after there was already control of the Russian authorities), i.e. from 91 to 94 That is, it turns out 21 thousand in 3 years. In order to do this, it would be necessary to mass shoot people in Grozny EVERY DAY for these 3 years. At what without days off to shoot. There was nothing like this in Grozny. Moreover, on September 6, 1993, some Russian politicians, including V. Zhirinovsky, came to Grozny to celebrate Independence Day. But neither he nor everyone else even said a word about any then murders, etc. Then the city was the usual normal situation. I repeat, at that time, mass executions of the population were to take place in the city every day (according to the information about 21 thousand killed in 3 years). In Grozny, indeed, there was rampant crime in the early 90s. Indeed, there were cases of robberies and murders of both Russians and representatives of all other nationalities. There was a rise in nationalist sentiment among the Chechens. There was a difficult economic situation, neither pensions nor salaries were paid. But, there were no massacres that could be summed up under the definition of genocide or ethnic cleansing.
