The 46th Order of Zhukov, a separate operational brigade, was the largest formation of the National Guard Troops before.

In August 1996, it was her servicemen who took the main blow during a surprise attack by militants on Grozny. For a long time, the 46th brigade was subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only in 2016 it became part of the National Guard of the Russian Federation.

The brigade also includes "ethnic" military units, that is, recruited on a national basis - exclusively by Chechens (battalions "North" and "South"). It was in the "North" that he served, convicted of the murder of a politician.

However, most of the units of the 46th brigade are still staffed not by the Chechen Republic, but by other regions. Over 600 military personnel of the brigade were awarded state awards during the period of performance of service and combat missions. The brigade is completed with both conscripts and contract soldiers.

According to other sources, the conflict happened between scouts (the team is mixed there, there are both Chechens and Russians) and motorized riflemen (mostly Siberians there) from different parts, and in total, presumably, about 30 people were injured in the fight.

Video of these events later hit the Internet and attracted media attention. As a result, the situation was decided by the head of Chechnya, stating that the conflict occurred "because of the woman cook."
