Events near the railway station

Grozny, November 27 (New Region, Olga Panfilova) - Six women who were shot in Chechnya on Wednesday night could become victims of lynching. This version is not ruled out by human rights activists and the human rights commissioner in Chechnya, Nurdi Nuzhiev.

According to human rights activists, revenge for a gross violation of some moral or religious principles committed by women could become the reason for the massacre, writes the Kommersant newspaper. Natalya Estemirova, an employee of the Grozny branch of the Russian human rights center Memorial, suggested that the girls “could have been killed by their own relatives for their behavior inappropriate for mountain women.” According to her, such lynchings have happened in the republic before. So, in 2003, two sisters were killed in the village of Chernorechye. As it turned out, their brother dealt with the girls, believing that they disgraced the family with their inappropriate behavior, the human rights activist said.

Nurdi Nuzhiev, the Commissioner for Human Rights in Chechnya, said that "we have women who have begun to forget about the code of conduct for mountain women." “In relation to such women, their relatives, men who consider themselves offended, sometimes commit lynching,” he said.

However, the investigative department for Chechnya emphasized that it was too early to draw conclusions about the "inappropriate behavior" of the victims of unknown criminals. “This version is being considered by us, but it is only one of several,” investigators said.

As Novy Region reported, six young women aged about 20-30 were killed in Chechnya on Wednesday night. The bodies of the dead were discovered the day before in the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny and the Grozny district of the republic. All the girls died from gunshots to the head and chest. On this fact, criminal cases were initiated under paragraph "a" part 2 of article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder of two or more persons). The identities of those killed have not yet been established, and therefore the cause of their death remains unknown. Meanwhile, policemen claim that the killers were not robbers. All the women killed were dressed in expensive clothes, had decent sums of money and jewelry, one of the operatives of the criminal investigation department told Kommersant. According to him, the purpose of the crimes was not profit.

According to the newspaper, the first three bodies were discovered around 7 am by drivers driving along the highway to the 36th precinct in the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny. The women were killed by single Kalashnikov shots fired at close range into the victims' heads and chests. A passport issued to a native of Dagestan was found in the purse of one of the murdered women.

Around the same time, on a dirt road leading from the Grozny-Shatoy highway to the abandoned children's camp "Romantika", drivers found the bodies of two more women shot from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The sixth body was discovered at about 11 am on the side of the road Grozny - the village of Petropavlovskaya. This woman, who appeared to be in her early 40s, was killed with two shots to the head from a Makarov pistol.

Three criminal cases were opened on the fact of the murders, the crimes are being investigated by different operational-investigative groups.

Ramzan Kadyrov approves of the killing of women leading an "immoral" lifestyle

The head of the pro-Russian administration of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, issued a public statement on Saturday approving the murder of seven young women in December in the republic, foreign newspapers write, citing the Associated Press. The publication in The Washington Times is announced by InoSMI.Ru.

Ramzan Kadyrov made his statement after leaving the mosque after the afternoon prayer. With frightening composure, he explained why the seven young women who had been shot in the head deserved such a fate. According to Kadyrov, these women - their bodies were thrown along the road - behaved "immorally", and their relatives justly punished them, defending the honor of the family.

"If a woman walks, if a man walks with her, then both of them are killed," Kadyrov said, talking to journalists in Grozny.

The 32-year-old president - a former warlord - is campaigning to instill Islamic values ​​and reinforce traditional customs in predominantly Muslim Chechnya, the Associated Press recalls. Thus, he fights against the influence of Islamic radical separatists and strengthens his own power. However, critics say, the result is a dictatorship beyond Russian law.

Some in Russia believe that Kadyrov's attempts to create an Islamic society in the republic run counter to the federal constitution, which guarantees equal rights for women and provides for the separation of church and state. However, the Kremlin has consistently given him support, believing that he plays a major role in curbing Chechen separatism, and this allows the president to impose his will on the inhabitants of the republic.

Kadyrov considers a woman the property of her husband and believes that her main purpose is to give birth to children. He encourages men to polygamy - despite the fact that polygamy is prohibited in Russia. Women and girls are now required to wear headscarves at school, university and all government offices.

However, few people in the republic believe in Kadyrov's version of the murder of women in December. “If women are killed according to custom, this is done in deep secrecy so that outsiders do not find out about the unworthy behavior of someone from the family,” Natalya Estemirova, a human rights activist from Grozny, quoted the Associated Press as saying. She says that two of the dead women were married; each of them had two children. Husbands gave them lavish funerals and buried them next to other family members, something that would never have happened if the women dishonored the family, she adds.

The federal prosecutor's office in Moscow also does not confirm Kadyrov's version; her investigators believe that relatives were not involved in the murders. No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is ongoing. The Kadyrov administration declined to comment on the findings of the investigation, the agency said.

Human rights activists fear that Kadyrov's approving account of the incident could encourage men to commit more honor killings, which are considered one of the Chechen customs. There are no official data on this subject, but human rights organizations estimate that dozens of women become victims of murder every year in the republic.

“The president's word is law,” says Gistam Sakayeva, a Chechen activist who specializes in women's rights. "Since the President has made such a statement, many will try to gain his favor by killing someone, even for no reason."

Sakayeva said she is also concerned that the Chechen authorities will no longer be zealous in punishing men for killing women.

“In 1991-1992, TENS OF THOUSAND Russians were slaughtered in Chechnya. In Shelkovskaya in the spring of 1992, the "Chechen police" confiscated all hunting weapons from the Russian population, 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 guts wound around a fence meant: the owner is no more, only about women ready for "love". Women's bodies, planted 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, videos were captured of underage Vainakhs having 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 ...

Then came the "fun times". Russians began to be slaughtered in the streets in broad daylight. In front of my eyes, in line for bread, one Russian guy was surrounded by Vainakhs, one of whom spat on the floor and offered the Russian to lick the spit off the floor. When he refused, they cut open his stomach with a knife. Chechens burst into a parallel class right during the lesson, chose the three most attractive Russian high school girls and dragged them away. Then we learned that the girls were given as a birthday present to the local Chechen authority.

And then it got really fun. The militants came to the village and began to clean it from the Russians. At night, the screams of people who were being raped and slaughtered in their own home were sometimes heard. And no one came to their aid. Everyone was for himself, everyone was shaking with fear, and some managed to bring an ideological basis to this matter, they say, “my house is my fortress” (yes, dear Rodo, I heard this phrase right then. The person who uttered it was already not alive - his guts were wound by the Vainakhs on the fence of his own house). This is how we, cowardly and stupid, were cut out one by one. Tens of thousands of Russians were killed, several thousand fell into slavery and Chechen harems, hundreds of thousands fled Chechnya in their shorts.
This is how the Vainakhs solved the "Russian question" in a single republic.

The video was filmed by militants in 1999 during the invasion of Basayev's group into Dagestan. On the way of the grouping was our checkpoint, the personnel of which, seeing the militants, crap from fear and surrendered. Our servicemen had the opportunity to die like a man, in battle. They did not want this, and as a result they were slaughtered like sheep. And if you watched the video carefully, you should have noticed that only the one who was stabbed last had his hands tied. For the rest, fate gave one more chance to die like a human being. Any of them could stand up and make the last sharp movement in their lives - if not to cling to the enemy with their teeth, then at least take a knife or an automatic burst on the chest while standing. But they, seeing, hearing, and feeling that their comrade was being slaughtered nearby, and knowing that they would be slaughtered too, still preferred sheep's death.
This is a one-on-one situation with Russians in Chechnya. There we behaved in exactly the same way. And we were cut out the same way.

By the way, I always showed trophy Chechen videos to every young recruit in my platoon, and then in the company, and even less glamorous than the one presented. My fighters looked at torture, and at ripping open the stomach, and at sawing off the head with a hacksaw. Looked carefully. After that, none of them could even think of surrendering.

In the same place, in the war, fate brought me together with another Jew - Lev Yakovlevich Rokhlin. Initially, our participation in the New Year's assault was not expected. But when communication was lost with the 131st Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 81st Motorized Rifle Regiment, we were sent to help. We broke through to the location of 8 AK, commanded by General Rokhlin, and arrived at his headquarters. That was the first time I saw him in person. And he somehow didn’t seem to me at first glance: hunched, with a cold, with cracked glasses ... Not a general, but some kind of tired agronomist. He set us the task of gathering the scattered remnants of the Maikop brigade and the 81st regiment and bringing them to the air defense of the Rokhlin reconnaissance battalion. This is what we did - we collected meat that had pissed from fear in the cellars and took it to the location of the Rokhlin scouts. There were about two mouths in total. At first, Rokhlin did not want to use them, but when all the other groups retreated, 8 AK was left alone in the operational encirclement in the city center. Against all militants! And then Rokhlin built this "army" opposite the formation of his fighters and addressed them with a speech. I will never forget this speech. The most affectionate expressions of the general were: "fucking monkeys" and "p @ daras." In the end, he said: “The militants outnumber us fifteen times. And we have nowhere to wait for help. And if we are destined to lie down here, let each of us be found under a pile of enemy corpses. Let's show how Russian soldiers and Russian generals know how to die! Don't let me down, sons..."
Lev Yakovlevich has been dead for a long time - he was dealt with without you. One less Jew, isn't it?

And then there was a terrible, terrible battle, in which six of my platoon of 19 people survived. And when the Chechens broke into the location and it came to the grenades, and we realized that we all got p@zdets - I saw real Russian people. There was no more fear. There was some kind of cheerful anger, detachment from everything. There was one thought in my head: "dad" asked me not to let you down. The wounded bandaged themselves, themselves were chipped with promedol and continued the fight.
Then the Vainakhs and I got into hand-to-hand combat. And they ran. It was a turning point in the battle for Grozny. It was a confrontation between two characters - Caucasian and Russian, and ours turned out to be stronger. It was at that moment that I realized that we could do it. We have this solid core, it only needs to be cleaned of adhering shit. We took prisoners in hand-to-hand combat. Looking at us, they did not even whine - they howled in horror. And then they read the radio intercept to us - Dudayev's order went through the radio networks of the militants: "The scouts from 8AK and the special forces of the Airborne Forces should not be taken prisoner and not tortured, but immediately finished off and buried like soldiers." We are very proud of this order.

Then comes the understanding that neither the Chechens, nor the Armenians, nor the Jews, in fact, are to blame. They only do to us what we allow ourselves to do to ourselves.

Think what you are doing and study history. And the excuse that you need to follow the order is complacency, there is always a way to refuse to follow the order, to resign, so to speak. And if everyone responsibly approached the decision of the fate of the Motherland and resigned, then there would be no Chechen massacre.

I am grateful to the Chechens as teachers for the lesson taught. They helped me see my true enemy - the cowardly ram and pi @ aras, who firmly settled in my own head.
And you continue to fight the Jews and other "untrue Aryans." I wish you success.

If the Russians were men, no troops would be needed. The population of Chechnya by 1990 was approximately 1.3-1.4 million people, of which 600-700 thousand were Russians. Grozny has about 470,000 inhabitants, of which at least 300,000 are Russians. In the original Cossack regions - Naursky, Shelkovsky and Nadterechny - Russians were about 70%. On our own soil, we have merged with the enemy, who is inferior to us in numbers two or three times.
And when the troops were brought in, there was practically no one to save.

Yeltsin - Aklash could not do this, but here is the Jew Berezovsky with the company completely. And the facts of his cooperation with the Chechens are well known. As the grandfather said, the generalissimo was captured.

This does not justify the performers. Weapons were handed out to the Vainakhs not by the Jew Berezovsky, but by the Russian Grachev (by the way, he was a paratrooper, a hero of Afghanistan). But when “human rights activists” dragged themselves to Rokhlin and offered to surrender to the Chechens under their guarantees, Rokhlin ordered to put them on cancer and kick them to the front lines. So it does not matter whether the generalissimo was captured or not - the country is alive as long as its last soldier is alive.

forecast for Russia for 2010 from Gaidar.

This schmuck is directly related to the processes that have affected each of us in particular, and our entire former Country as a whole. This is from an economic point of view.
But I also have non-economic questions for him. In January 1995, the aforementioned gentleman, as part of a large delegation of "human rights activists" (headed by S.A. Kovalev), came to Grozny to persuade our soldiers to surrender to the Chechens under their personal guarantees. Moreover, Gaidar shone in the tactical air, as if not more intense than Kovalev. Under Gaidar's "personal guarantees" 72 people surrendered. Subsequently, their mutilated, with traces of torture, corpses were found in the area of ​​the cannery, Katayama and Sq. Minute.
This Smart and beautiful hand in blood not to the elbow, but to the very ears.
He was lucky - he died on his own, without trial or execution.
But the moment will come when, according to Russian traditions, his rotten offal is taken out of the grave, loaded into a cannon and shot to the west - IT is unworthy to lie in Our Land.

PS: Dear Lieutenant, "the dead have no shame" - it is said about the fallen soldiers who lost the battle.

Our ancestors handed us a great country, and we pissed it off. And in fact, we are all not even sheep, but just fucking sheep. Because our country has perished, and we, who took an oath to defend it "to the last drop of blood", are still alive.
But. Awareness of this unpleasant fact helps us "squeeze a slave out of ourselves drop by drop", develop and temper character. http://www.facebook.com/groups/russian.region/permalink/482339108511015/

Today we will talk about one tragic event that marked the first (years - 1994 (December) - 1996 (August)). First, let's briefly talk about the background of this war.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of our country, in Chechnya in 1994-95. about 26 thousand people died: 2 thousand of them were Russian military personnel, about 10-15 thousand were militants, and the rest were civilians. However, General A. Lebed gave a different assessment. According to his information, the war in Chechnya brought much greater losses. Its years were marked by huge casualties among the civilian population - about 70-80 thousand people died. And the losses in the ranks of the federal troops amounted to 6-7 thousand people.

Chechnya is getting out of Russian control

In the post-Soviet space, the turn of 1980-1990 was marked by the so-called This meant that Soviet republics various levels (both the ASSR and the SSR) adopted one after another declarations of sovereignty. In 1990, on June 12, at the first Republican Congress of People's Deputies, the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the RSFSR was also adopted.

On November 23-25 ​​of the same year, the Chechen National Congress was held in Grozny. It elected the Executive Committee, which later became the OKChN. Dzhokhar Dudayev, major general, became its chairman. The congress adopted a declaration on the formation of Nokhchi-Cho. In July 1991, at the second congress of the OKCHN, a decision was made to withdraw from the RSFSR and the USSR.

Dudayev becomes president, rupture of relations with the Russian Federation

November 1, 1991 Dudayev was elected president of Chechnya. On November 10, the OKCHN executive committee decided to break off relations with Russian state. Since November 1991, Dudayev's people began seizing property and weapons on the territory. internal troops and the Armed Forces, military cities. On November 27, the President signed a decree on the nationalization of equipment and weapons of military units located on the territory of the republic. All federal troops left the territory of Chechnya by November 8 of the following year, but left a large number of weapons, equipment and ammunition.

The situation in the region escalated again in the fall of 1992, when the Ossetian-Ingush conflict broke out in the Prigorodny district. Dudayev declared the neutrality of the state, however, Russian troops entered his territory during the period of aggravation of the conflict.

Events September - December 1994

Since September 1994, active fighting. Opposition forces, in particular, carried out bombardments of military facilities. The armed formations opposing Dudayev were armed with Su-24 attack aircraft and Mi-24 helicopters without identification marks.

On November 30, 1994, Boris Yeltsin signed Decree No. 2137s, which provided for the liquidation of armed units on the territory of Chechnya. According to him, from December 1, it was necessary to carry out measures aimed at restoring law and order and constitutional legality in the Chechen Republic, to begin the liquidation of the troops, to carry out negotiations on the settlement of the armed conflict by peaceful means.

December 11, 1994 President Russian Federation made an appeal to the Russians, in which he stated that the country should solve the problem Chechen Republic- one of its subjects, to protect its citizens from armed extremism. On the same day, a corresponding decree was signed, and at the same time the Russian troops set off to carry out the task. Their goal was Chechnya, the assault on Grozny. Clashes continued throughout December; The city of Grozny, starting from the 18th, was subject to repeated blows.

On December 26 of the same year, the bombing of rural settlements began.

New Year's assault on Grozny

On the night of December 31, 1994 to January 1, 1995, a New Year's assault took place. Russian army suffered very heavy losses that night, the most significant since the Great Patriotic War. The death of the Maykop motorized rifle brigade No. 131 was one of the most tragic episodes during the assault. Until now, there are many myths about these events.

The capture of the palace of President Dzhokhar Dudayev became the main task of the upcoming assault. Its execution was entrusted to the "North" grouping. K. B. Pulikovsky commanded it. It is interesting that the number of all parts that were part of this group is not exactly known. Only official data are available, which are likely to differ greatly from the real ones. According to them, the North group included 4,097 people, 211 infantry fighting vehicles, 82 tanks, 64 mortars and guns.

Command Plans

On December 30, 1994, a meeting was held. On it, all parts received tasks for the assault. On the morning of December 31, the brigade was supposed to go to the old airfield and organize defense there. The main task of the 81st regiment was to capture the Khmelnitsky-Mayakovsky crossroads. And then this unit was supposed to block the building in which the republican committee was located, and then capture the city station. Regiment No. 276 was to occupy the approaches to Sadovoye and wait for further orders here.

Unexpected turn of events

It should be noted that the storming of Grozny, which took place on December 31, 1994, was unexpected for everyone. Not all units were replenished with military equipment and people, the troops did not have time to work well together. Sivko Vyacheslav, a participant in the assault on Grozny, who commanded the 237th battalion, recalling these events, said that the key mistake was the lack of competent planning and interaction of units.

However, orders, as you know, are not discussed. On the morning of December 31, 1994, the assault on Grozny was launched. Parts went to the task. By 11 am, the Mayakovsky-Khmelnitsky intersection was captured. However, the 2nd battalion, due to the incessant fire of the militants, could not break through the Rodina state farm. Pulikovsky ordered him to turn back. Here the 2nd Battalion began another task.

Events near the railway station

At the same time, the 131st brigade completed its combat mission, taking up positions on the outskirts of the city, at the old airfield. She began to build defensive fortifications. However, suddenly she started moving, as one battalion began to move towards the station, and the other went towards the market. A regiment went to Ordzhonikidze Square. One company was left here to cover. Yaroslavtsev, the regiment commander, after some time ordered the chief of staff to bring all the surviving personnel and equipment to the station. While the regiment was just beginning to move to the square. Ordzhonikidze, his columns were overtaken by the equipment of brigade No. 131, which at that time was following to the station. Thus, both the brigade and the regiment approached him almost simultaneously. The latter organized the defense at the goods station, and the first battalion occupied the station directly. The second battalion also tried to get here, but it was attacked by militants and had to stay at the freight station.

After the regiment and the brigade organized defenses at the station, they were attacked by large forces of militants. Clashes continued until the withdrawal of the units. Part of the equipment was destroyed, the rest was damaged. However, the fighters fought to the last ammunition. At first, the losses were small. However, the situation suddenly began to deteriorate sharply due to the fact that other units did not fulfill their tasks and could not break into the center.

Blocking of Russian troops in the center of Grozny

Around 2 pm on December 31, 1994, the assault on Grozny continued with new events. The group "North-East" went to the bridge over the Sunzha, located in the center of the city. The troops of the "East" and "West" just as easily moved into the city of Grozny. They met no resistance until noon. And then it started...

From the upper floors of buildings and basements, machine guns and grenade launchers hit the columns of Russian armored vehicles, squeezed in narrow streets. The militants fought as if they were studying in military academies, and not Russian generals. First, they burned the trailing and head machines. The rest were shot without haste. By 18 o'clock in the area of ​​the park named after Lenin, the 693rd motorized rifle regiment of the "West" was surrounded. On the southern outskirts, dense fire stopped the parachute regiments of the 21st airborne brigade and the 76th division. 3.5 thousand militants with fifty tanks and guns suddenly attacked the 131st brigade and the 81st regiment, which were standing in columns near the railway station, with the onset of darkness. Together with two tanks that managed to survive, the remnants of these units began to withdraw around midnight, but were surrounded and destroyed almost completely. Many people remember this date for a long time - December 31, 1994. The assault on Grozny brought heavy losses both among the military and among the civilian population.

Events January 1-2, 1995

On January 1, the command tried all day to help the bloodless "North-East" and "North" groups, blockaded in the very center of Grozny. But unsuccessfully. The Chechens provided the troops sent to the rescue with the opportunity to move only along routes that had been shot in advance. And they mercilessly shot the troops. On January 2, the press service of the Russian government reported that the center of Grozny was controlled by federal troops and that the presidential palace was blocked.

Results of the Chechen campaign

The first assault on Grozny did not bring victory. For a long time, the militants resisted. Until August 31, 1996, the war continued. The assault on Grozny was only the beginning of new hostilities. The war was accompanied by terrorist attacks carried out outside of Chechnya (Kizlyar, Budyonnovsk).

The result of the campaign was the Khasavyurt agreements, signed on August 31, 1996. On the part of the Russians, they were signed by Alexander Lebedev, the secretary of our country's Security Council, and on the part of the Chechen fighters, by the chief of staff. As a result of these agreements, a decision was made on the so-called "postponed status." This meant that before December 31, 2001, the issue of the status of Chechnya had to be resolved.
