The first and second Chechen wars, otherwise called the “First Chechen Conflict” and the “counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus” became, perhaps, the bloodiest pages in the modern history of Russia. These military conflicts are striking in their cruelty. They brought terror and explosions of houses with sleeping people to Russian territory. But in the history of these wars there were people who, perhaps, can be considered more terrible criminals than terrorists. These are traitors.
Alexander Ardyshev – Seradzhi Dudayev
In 1995, the unit in which Ardyshev served was transferred to Chechnya. Alexander had very little time left to serve, literally a few weeks. However, he decided to radically change his life and deserted from the unit. It was in the village of Vedeno. By the way, it cannot be said about Ardyshev that he betrayed his comrades, since he had no comrades. During his service, he noted that he periodically stole things and money from his fellow soldiers, and there was not a single soldier among the soldiers of his unit who treated Ardyshev as a friend. First, he ended up in the detachment of the field commander Mavladi Khusain, then he fought under the command of Isa Madayev, then in the detachment of Khamzat Musaev. Ardyshev converted to Islam and became Seraji Dudayev. Seraji's new job was to guard prisoners. The stories about how yesterday’s Russian soldier Alexander, and now the warrior of Islam Seraji, subjected his former colleagues to bullying and torture are simply scary to read. He beat prisoners and shot those he disliked on the orders of his superiors. One wounded and exhausted soldier was forced to learn the Koran by heart, and when he made a mistake, he was beaten. Once, for the amusement of the militants, he set fire to gunpowder on the back of the unfortunate man. He was so confident in his impunity that he did not even hesitate to announce himself to the Russian side in his new guise. One day he arrived in Vedeno with his commander Mavladi to resolve a conflict between local residents and federal troops. Among the federals was his former boss, Colonel Kukharchuk. Ardyshev approached him to show off his new status and threatened him with violence.
When the military conflict ended, Seradzhi acquired his own home in Chechnya and began serving in the border and customs service. And then in Moscow they convicted one of the Chechen bandits, Sadulayev. His comrades and associates in Chechnya decided that the respected person should be exchanged. And they exchanged it for... Alexander-Sieradzhi. The new owners were not at all interested in the deserter and traitor. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Seraji was given tea and sleeping pills, and when he passed out, he was handed over to the authorities of the Russian Federation. Surprisingly, once outside of Chechnya, Seradzhi immediately remembered that he was Alexander and began to ask to return to the Russians and Orthodox Christians. He was sentenced to 9 years of strict regime.
Sergey Orel
He fought in the North Caucasus under a contract. In December 1995, he was captured by militants. He was released a year later and the rescued “Caucasian prisoner” was sent to Grozny. And then the incredible happened: a Russian soldier, languishing in cruel captivity and happily freed, stole a Kalashnikov assault rifle, uniform and personal belongings from the military prosecutor’s office, stole a Ural truck and sped off towards the militants. Here, in fact, it became clear that Orel was by no means in poverty in captivity, but allowed himself to be recruited without much trouble. He converted to Islam, studied engineering in one of Khattab’s camps, and took part in hostilities. In 1998, with a fake passport in the name of Alexander Kozlov, he showed up in Moscow, where he controlled the construction markets. He transferred the proceeds through special messengers to the Caucasus to support his “brothers in arms.” This business stopped only when the intelligence services got on the trail of Orel-Kozlov. The defector was tried and received a serious sentence.
Limonov and Klochkov
Privates Konstantin Limonov and Ruslan Klochkov in the fall of 1995 decided to somehow go for vodka. They left their checkpoint and went to the village of Katyr-Yurt, where the militants tied them up without any problems. Once captured, Limonov and Klochkov did not think long and almost immediately agreed to become guards in a federal prisoner-of-war camp. Limonov even took the name Kazbek. They performed their duties very diligently, surpassing even the Chechens themselves in cruelty. One of the prisoners, for example, had his head broken with a rifle butt. Another was thrown onto a hot stove. The third was beaten to death. Both participated in the execution of sixteen Russian soldiers condemned to death by Islamists. One of the militants personally set an example for them by cutting the throat of the first convict, and then handed the knife to the traitors. They carried out the order and then finished off the agonizing soldiers with a machine gun. All this was recorded on video. When in 1997, federal troops cleared the area where their gang was operating, Limonov and Klochkov tried to pass themselves off as freed hostages and hoped that the most serious thing they would face was a sentence for desertion. However, the investigation made their “exploits” known to Russian justice.
Yuri Rybakov
This man, too, was by no means captured by the militants, wounded and unconscious. He defected to them voluntarily in September 1999. After undergoing special training, he became a sniper. It must be said that Rybakov was an accurate sniper. In just one month, he made 26 notches on the butt of his rifle - one for each “shot” fighter. Rybakov was captured in the village of Ulus-Kert, where federal troops surrounded the militants.
Vasily Kalinkin – Vahid
This man served as an ensign in one of the units of Nizhny Tagil, and he stole on a grand scale. And when he smelled something fried, he ran away and enlisted in the army of “free Ichkeria.” Here he was sent to study at an intelligence school in one of the Arab countries. Kalinkin converted to Islam and began to be called Vahid. They took him in Volgograd, where the newly minted spy came for reconnaissance and preparation of acts of sabotage.

Among the counterintelligence officers he went by the nickname Judas. Ardyshev went over to the side of the Chechen bandits to fight the federals. He was caught and convicted - the first and so far the only werewolf. 5. Among the militants, fellow soldiers recognized him by his ears The regiment from which Ardyshev-Dudayev fled received bread in Grozny. Two “Urals” and two escorting infantry fighting vehicles regularly dusted the countryside of Chechnya once a week. But on October 24, 1995, the regiment was left without bread. When the column passed Tsa-Vedeno, the Urals pulled ahead and disappeared around the bend, and an old Zhiguli car appeared in front of the BMP. The tracks literally crushed the rusty metal. The ringing silence was suddenly filled with the piercing squeals of the villagers. There was nothing left of the two men from the Zhiguli. The woman and child, covered in blood, crawled out onto the road. The Chechens surrounded the infantry fighting vehicles and demanded that the crews surrender. The guys radioed the command. They were advised to get out of the cars and negotiate amicably with the villagers - at that time there was a moratorium on hostilities and new shooting was not needed. It had to happen that a kilometer from the scene of the disaster, Basayev’s detachment lay down for a rest. While the officers shouted into the radio about the situation, the boys ran after the militants. 12 Russian soldiers were captured. Only the young mechanic-driver - the culprit of the disaster - refused to get out. He battened down the hatches and swung the gun menacingly. Among the militants who arrived in time, the crew recognized Sashka Ardyshev. He had a hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher in his hands, and a Dragunov sniper rifle was hanging on his shoulder. In a black denim suit and high wrestling shorts, he looked no different from the militants. Only his ears gave away his former colleague. Ardyshev approached the regiment commander, Colonel Kurochkin: “Well, you nit, are you done with the war?” Do you remember how you punched me in the mouth? I will personally use you up. Straight from this thing. - And Ardyshev pointed a grenade launcher at the officer. The prisoners were disarmed and taken away. Ardyshev began to command the assault on the BMP - the soldier flatly refused to surrender. - No guys, there is no need for noise. Yes, and technology will come in handy. Look at the top landing hatches. Surely he didn’t have time to batten them down... And that’s true. The soldier was pulled out of his armor. He was all white and no longer offered resistance. A week later ours were exchanged for two fuel tankers. Naturally, full. And the driver was later found in a ravine on the outskirts of the village with a bullet through his head. The command was informed that the relatives of those killed in the disaster personally took care of the boy. However, an examination showed that the bullet was fired from a sniper rifle. And only Ardyshev had such a rifle... 6. So we met... For lunch in the Novocherkassk prison there was pasta. And Ardyshev kept talking and talking. Then the administration promised to save Sasha’s rations and give them out for dinner. Then Sashka-Seraji apologized and began to pray in Arabic. It was strange to hear guttural sounds from the mouth of the Saratov boy. It turned out that in a cell where five other people were sitting, it was somehow not customary to perform namaz. “I saw you somewhere,” Ardyshev smiled from the cage after he had taken his breath away. - Allah punish me! I have a good memory for people and their actions. And I will definitely read your newspaper with the article about me. As soon as I lay back, I’ll definitely find you, then we’ll talk,” and he laughed disgustingly. ...It was only on the way from prison that I remembered where we met. In the winter of 1997, on an editorial assignment, I arrived at a checkpoint near Kizlyar. The time was peaceful. On the other side of the post, Chechnya turned grey. Buses filled with food shuttles freely crossed the Russian-Russian border. As soon as they passed the Kizlyar post, they were surrounded by customs officers from the main road. On the gray concrete was the inscription: “Welcome to hell!” - Guys, I would like to film on the Chechen side... - Go, if you don’t mind the equipment, - the security officer from Tyumen laughed. - And jokes aside, we can’t go there for no apparent reason. Therefore, if anything happens, fall to the ground - we will open fire. In general, today was calm. So go... After such parting words, I felt uneasy... But I still managed to talk with the Chechen customs officers. They vied with each other to praise their lives, boasted that they would soon come to Dagestan, and even forgot about the buses and trucks passing by. Among them there was one big-eared boy. To be honest, I only remember the ears. When I suggested taking a photo, the customs officers ran to their trailer for machine guns - how can you take pictures without weapons? Only the lop-eared one said that he didn’t like cameras and sadly wandered behind the concrete wall. It was Ardyshev... 7. Table scraps Senior investigator for particularly important cases, Lieutenant Colonel of Justice Vladimir Vasin, now does not drink at all. While he was working on the Ardyshev case, he earned not only a promotion, but also two stomach ulcers. - Wolves flock together. So Ardyshev found himself some company. I don’t want to remember how difficult it was to work with him. - Vladimir thoughtfully sips tea from a cracked mug. ...The war has taken Russian militant Seradzhi Dudayev everywhere. Former prisoners said that they saw him in Shaly, and in Argun, and in Vedeno... Russian bullets spared the former Russian soldier. They say that it was during this period that Seraji showed himself as a sniper. But he did not forget about his “hobby” - mocking Russian soldiers. Pavel Batalov suffered more than others from Ardyshev-Dudaev. One day, wanting to amuse the militants, Seraji ordered Pashka to lie down on his belly. Like a doctor, he pulled up his jacket: “Don’t move, who did you tell!” Seraji shook out the gunpowder from two rifle cartridges and poured it onto Batalova’s bare back. - Attention! Deadly number! Choreographic composition “How Russian tank crews burn.” - And struck a match. Pashka rolled on the ground, writhing in pain to the friendly laughter of the Chechens. The wounds did not heal for two months. A medical examination will then determine that Batalov has 3rd degree burns. And during the August assault on Grozny, Seradzhi was assigned to carry out a responsible special operation. It’s easier to do looting. He stripped abandoned apartments down to the wallpaper. The Chechen command valued the newly minted militant. Shamil Basayev himself, before the formation, set him up as an example to his thugs. Once Seraji was even admitted to the table of the legendary field commander. A video recording of this solemn event has been preserved. True, Seraji was there as a servant: he brought tea to the brigadier general. The first Chechen war is over. The “Czechs” began to return home. But Dudaev-Ardyshev had no return to his homeland. He settled in Grozny with the same Khomzat whom he called father. - Okay, we’ll assign you to the border and customs department. - Field commander Movladi Khusain thought about it. - Although there are only thieves there. I’ll put in a good word for you... Soon Seradzhi began to go to serve in the 15th military camp - it was there that the headquarters of the Chechen customs was located. They issued NATO camouflage. I exchanged the rifle for a Makarov pistol in a brand new open holster. The license with a green flag and a lying wolf said: driver-gunner. The service was dust-free. Keep an eye on the KamAZ and go to the border to confiscate contraband. Smuggling meant fuel trucks with “scorched” fuel, which went to Dagestan in caravans using forged documents. After each raid, two or three tanks drove into the courtyard. Gasoline and diesel fuel were drained. The cars were returned to the owners. Once a month, Seraji received a symbolic salary in Russian rubles. But he lived well - there was enough loot from the war. Old comrades did not forget Seraji. They bought him a small two-room house on the northern outskirts of Grozny for next to nothing - he didn’t deserve anything more. Ardyshev summoned his mother. He persuaded me to stay. But the woman lived for a week and began to get ready. - Okay, let's get back to this conversation. - The son was annoyed, but did not contradict his mother. 8. This side of the bars Dimka Sukhanov went on demobilization in 1995. Served in Vladikavkaz. Everyone expected that they would be sent to war, but it happened. The war found him itself - in civilian life. After urgent work, he got a job as a prison guard. Received the rank of ensign. In August 1997, I took a vacation, boarded a train and headed to Grozny for three days. I wanted to earn extra money: they said sturgeon was cheap in Chechnya after the war. Two fish could provide a week's vacation at sea with the family. Dimka was a risky guy. Instead of three days, he stayed in Chechnya for 53 weeks... They picked him up at the Grozny train station. At first he said that he was going to a friend’s wedding. But in his pocket they found a photograph of him and the guys in Vladikavkaz on armor. It’s not written on the tank where it serves. Then the investigator changed, and Dimka began to lie that he slept through the station, and the conductor did not wake him up. - Why are you lying? You were on your way to make contact. We know everything about you. Sukhanov, you are Koshman’s agent (Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic in Zavgaev’s government. - Yu. S.), - the investigator was adamant. He reinforced his point of view with daily beatings. By winter, Dimka was put alone in the basement of the Ichkeria Security Service. They were released only after four and a half months. “When I went down to the basement, it was dark outside and there was snow,” recalls Sukhanov. - And they let me out in the morning. Imagine, there is greenery all around, birds are singing, the air is like honey. My head started spinning and I fell. Dima was sent to town 15. A slave. - We lived behind bars. Seraji often visited us. He was drawn to the Russians. We were his mechanics. The KamAZ was constantly being repaired - the diesel fuel was “scorched”. We are already accustomed to beatings. He took us away one by one and made a fool of us. I tried to hit harder. Hit my joints. Beast! Even the Chechens stopped him. They said: why? They are already in our power. Let them work quietly. They wanted to tie up the blankets and escape through the window. Someone knocked on us. I was declared the instigator,” here Dima falls silent. After the escape attempt, Dima was taken to the basement. “For procedures,” as the guards said. I thought they would beat me. And they hooked me up to the ceiling by handcuffs. Then they pulled down their pants and sprayed it on the crotch from some glass bottle. The bottle contained an acid solution. A minute later it began to burn. By morning, ulcers appeared. Dimka couldn’t even run or walk for the first week. - How is he doing in prison? - Dimka asked about Ardyshev-Dudayev not out of idle curiosity - he himself is a guard in the colony. - I have a video recording. If you want, look. As soon as the TV screen lit up and Ardyshev’s ears appeared from behind the bars, Dimka froze. Nodules extended along the cheekbones. Fists clenched. He resembled a hunting dog in a stance. - Do you know what my dream is? - Dima muttered when the recording of our interview ended. - Transfer to the prison where this bastard is sitting. And look at him from this side of the bars. The way he looked at me then... 9. Brother cocktail So Seradzhi would have served in customs if one of the many relatives of his boss had not landed in a Russian prison for six years. We need to help out. There were no more prisoners to be exchanged at customs. We decided to change to Seraji. ...That same evening Seraji was invited to visit. A good table was set. “Drink, brother, tomorrow is my big holiday,” the boss said lovingly. - Thank you, I can’t have vodka. But the beer... - I'll bring you a cold one now. Seraji never detected the taste of clonidine in the beer. The feds asked the Chechens when they unloaded the snoring Ardyshev: “Don’t you feel sorry?” - Once he sold you, another time he will sell us... Ardyshev woke up a day later in Mozdok. When I saw people in Russian uniforms, I understood everything: “They sold me, bitches... They put Ardyshev under arrest until the circumstances were clarified.” They did not yet know that he was a policeman for the Chechens in Mozdok. We looked at his file and the guy was granted amnesty. He would have been released in a couple of days, but he attacked the sentry. Hit him on the head with a wrench. Okay, help arrived. The military tribunal gave him 9 months. And then the treasured daddy from counterintelligence arrived in time. Instead of 9 months - 9 years. “I understand that they could have given me much more,” Ardyshev repeats sadly. - So I have no complaints. - You probably know what they did with the police after the Great Patriotic War? - military counterintelligence investigator Vasin asks me. - But this is Chechnya. Witnesses, if alive, are hiding in the mountains... In the FSB detention center, Ardyshev unexpectedly wished to be baptized. The investigator went to the Rostov Cathedral, bought a cross for Ardyshev, and invited the priest to the isolation ward. The sacrament took place in the interrogation room. Ardyshev carried the cross for only two weeks. Then, from behind the iron doors, guttural singing began to be heard again. Apparently, I understood: what is cut off cannot be returned...
BY THE WAY The colonel who transported wounded militants to the rear still receives an officer's salary. The deputy commander of the 19th motorized rifle division of the 58th army, Colonel Alexander Savchenko (Komsomolskaya Pravda told the story of his betrayal on April 18, 2000), was taken into development by military counterintelligence when half of Chechnya was still was under the control of the militants and separated from the advancing troops by a real front line. All operational information indicated that the Russian colonel was taking wounded militants to safe places for money. On April 7, 2000, in the village of Shatoy, Savchenko was caught red-handed. When they tried to resist, the militants who had taken refuge in the back of the truck were shot at point-blank range, which subsequently served the prosecutor's office badly - the investigators actually had no witnesses left. The colonel was immediately taken into custody, and a search was carried out in the dormitory room and the officer's kung where Savchenko lived in Chechnya. 90 thousand rubles and two thousand dollars found in personal belongings spoke for themselves. The 201st Military Prosecutor's Office of the North Caucasus Military District, located in Khankala, opened a criminal case under three articles of the Criminal Code: 33rd (“complicity in a crime”), 208th “(participation in illegal armed groups”) and 285- th (“abuse of official powers”). However, already in June, by decision of the military court of the North Caucasus Military District, Savchenko was released on his own recognizance and completely changed his testimony. Now Alexander Savchenko lives in his own house in the village of Mostovoy, Krasnodar Territory. They say he recently bought a car. Moreover, the officer has not yet been dismissed from the army, receives a salary from the Ministry of Defense and enjoys all the benefits established for military personnel.
The first and second Chechen wars, otherwise called the “First Chechen Conflict” and the “counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus” became, perhaps, the bloodiest pages in the modern history of Russia. These military conflicts are striking in their cruelty. They brought terror and explosions of houses with sleeping people to Russian territory. But in the history of these wars there were people who, perhaps, can be considered criminals no less terrible than terrorists. These are traitors.
Sergey Orel
He fought in the North Caucasus under a contract. In December 1995, he was captured by militants. He was released a year later and the rescued “Caucasian prisoner” was sent to Grozny. And then the incredible happened: a Russian soldier, languishing in cruel captivity and happily freed, stole a Kalashnikov assault rifle, uniform and personal belongings from the military prosecutor’s office, stole a Ural truck and sped off towards the militants.

The defector was tried and received a serious sentence.
Limonov and Klochkov

They left their checkpoint and went to the village of Katyr-Yurt, where the militants tied them up without any problems.

Alexander Ardyshev – Seradzhi Dudayev
In 1995, the unit in which Ardyshev served was transferred to Chechnya. Alexander had very little time left to serve, literally a few weeks. However, he decided to radically change his life and deserted from the unit. It was in the village of Vedeno. By the way, it cannot be said about Ardyshev that he betrayed his comrades, since he had no comrades. During his service, he noted that he periodically stole things and money from his fellow soldiers, and there was not a single soldier among the soldiers of his unit who treated Ardyshev as a friend. First, he ended up in the detachment of the field commander Mavladi Khusain, then he fought under the command of Isa Madayev, then in the detachment of Khamzat Musaev. Ardyshev converted to Islam and became Seraji Dudayev. Seraji's new job was to guard prisoners. The stories about how yesterday’s Russian soldier Alexander, and now the warrior of Islam Seraji, subjected his former colleagues to bullying and torture are simply scary to read. He beat prisoners and shot those he disliked on the orders of his superiors. One wounded and exhausted soldier was forced to learn the Koran by heart, and when he made a mistake, he was beaten. Once, for the amusement of the militants, he set fire to gunpowder on the back of the unfortunate man. He was so confident in his impunity that he did not even hesitate to announce himself to the Russian side in his new guise. One day he arrived in Vedeno with his commander Mavladi to resolve a conflict between local residents and federal troops. Among the federals was his former boss, Colonel Kukharchuk. Ardyshev approached him to show off his new status and threatened him with violence.
When the military conflict ended, Seradzhi acquired his own home in Chechnya and began serving in the border and customs service. And then in Moscow they convicted one of the Chechen bandits, Sadulayev. His comrades and associates in Chechnya decided that the respected person should be exchanged. And they exchanged it for... Alexander-Sieradzhi. The new owners were not at all interested in the deserter and traitor. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Seraji was given tea and sleeping pills, and when he passed out, he was handed over to the authorities of the Russian Federation. Surprisingly, once outside of Chechnya, Seradzhi immediately remembered that he was Alexander and began to ask to return to the Russians and Orthodox Christians. He was sentenced to 9 years of strict regime.
Yuri Rybakov

Rybakov was captured in the village of Ulus-Kert, where federal troops surrounded the militants.
...Alexander Ardyshev was escorted into the army by the whole world, as has been the custom in Rus' since ancient times. And there was a farewell, and an accordion, and orders from the old people. Who knew!..The sight of the gloomy mountains and the panicky word “Chechnya” horrified the newly minted private Ardyshev. At the first opportunity, he grabbed a machine gun and deserted from his unit. And he didn’t go home, but went straight to the militants. And they seemed invincible, and the money there, according to rumors, was paid by the green ones. So the former private of the Russian army stood under the “banner of the Prophet” in the detachment of Movladi Khusain. Later, the traitor was transferred to the detachments of other field commanders - Isa Madayev, Khamzat Musaev. Ardyshev somehow did not really want to expose his head to the bullets of his former colleagues, and therefore he increasingly carried out guard duty and with particular pleasure guarded and escorted the exhausted, wounded, unarmed prisoners. This is where the opportunities to curry favor with the new owners were simply unplowed. The captured Private Gorshkov was beaten half to death by Ardyshev only because he refused to clean the militants' boots, and when Lieutenant Emelyanov did not wash the floors at Khusain's headquarters, Ardyshev cold-bloodedly sent a cartridge into the chamber... In the spring of 1996, the traitor forced the wounded Private Batagov to read aloud prayers from the Koran. Ardyshev broke the guy’s nose, inflicted several head injuries, and finally decided to put on an entertainment show for the gathered militants. He threw the already half-dead soldier to the floor, lifted his jacket and began pouring gunpowder from the cartridges onto his back. It was announced to the public that “now I will show how Russian tankers burn.” The bastard struck a match and brought it to the soldier’s back... Other lackeys were not inferior to Ardyshev in fanaticism. Privates Konstantin Limonov and Ruslan Klochkov had a month left before they were transferred to the reserve. Having decided to celebrate this significant day, they voluntarily left their checkpoint and went for vodka to the neighboring village of Katyr-Yurt, where, naturally, they were bred like rams. They did not choose to be prisoners for a long time - without hesitation, both became guards in an improvised camp for Russian prisoners of war. The paws of these “capos” were up to the elbows in blood. Just like that, “out of boredom,” Limonov broke Major Dudin’s head with a rifle butt. Another prisoner, who “dared” to dry Viktor Barsagov’s clothes, was thrown onto a hot stove. Viktor Berezin, who refused to please the ears of a Chechen guard with singing, was beaten to death by an obliging lackey in the company of new comrades. In June 1996, Limonov and Klochkov personally participated in the execution of sixteen Russian soldiers sentenced by a Sharia court. This happened near the village of Roshni-Chu. A certain Dzhambulat, who led the execution, cut the throat of the first victim and handed the knives to the Russian “helpers.” They quickly rushed to carry out the executioner's orders. Then the agonizing soldiers were cold-bloodedly finished off with machine guns under the rhythmic buzz of a video camera. Mikhail Zagvozdkin, Valery Lukyanov, Vasily Kalinkin, Yuri Rybakov, Evgeniy Titov... Unfortunately, this is not a complete list of the bastards who were captured and exposed by the FSB and military counterintelligence . Russian names, Russian surnames. Everyone once wore Russian shoulder straps on their shoulders. Different paths led them to the bandits. It is noteworthy that none of them ended up with the bandits, being unconscious, wounded or shell-shocked. Everyone is safe and healthy. And to remain so, each of them made their choice without hesitation. Rybakov, for example, became a particularly valuable cadre for the militants - a sniper. In January 1996 alone, the werewolf made 26 notches on the butt of his rifle. Ufa resident Evgeniy Titov, having previously been forced to write a receipt for cooperation and trained in mine demolition, was sent to Volgograd to organize terrorist attacks. The “infernal machine” laid there on May 31, 2000, claimed the lives of two and maimed sixteen soldiers of the construction company. After the attack on the convoy, Lukyanov especially liked to finish off wounded Russian soldiers, and Zagvozdkin “found himself” in installing guided land mines on the routes of movement of federal troops. Remarkable life the path of the unlucky “wild goose” Vasily Kalinkin. When the sword of the military prosecutor’s office quite clearly flashed over the stealing warrant officer of one of the military units in Nizhny Tagil, he immediately deserted and... enlisted in the “army of free Ichkeria.” Here he was recruited by the Chechen Department of State Security and Western intelligence services and went to study at a sabotage school in one of the Arab countries. An already certified spy was tied up in the Volgograd region, where he was sent by his new owners to collect military information and organize sabotage and terrorist acts. You cannot be a “little” traitor. This is a category of human abomination that requires a total fall from grace. Those who take this path are psychologically ready to betray everything - the Motherland, comrades, their own mother and even Faith. Thus, all the exposed werewolves turned out to be no longer Orthodox, but devout Muslims. For example, Alexander Ardyshev became Seraji Dudaev (!), Kalinkin - Vakhid, Limonov - Kazbek. True, newly converted Serajs and Kazbeks really don’t like to remember that for people like them, the “path to Allah” inevitably lay through bloody initiation - personal participation in the execution of former co-religionists and fellow soldiers, certainly captured on videotape. So, “just in case.” Yes, at the cost of monstrous crimes, the traitors bargained for their right to life. True, for a fake life. Often paid for with fake dollars, filled with fake new “associates”, with the prospect of one day being easily kicked out of it, like a finished cigarette. Meanwhile, sooner or later, this is exactly what happens to the overwhelming majority. After signing the shameful Khasavyurt agreements, which actually recognized Russia’s defeat in the first Chechen war, Ardyshev-Dudayev was completely perked up. He got his own house, even joined the Chechen “border and customs service” and did not bother to serve until... until the Chechen bandit Sadulaev was sentenced to six years in Moscow. It soon became clear that it was possible to rescue a “respected person” from captivity. I didn’t have to think long about who to exchange it for: here it is, human garbage, nearby, without family, without tribe. You can kill someone like that “just like that,” like a stray dog in a garbage dump. In general, one day Ardyshev drank some tea, suddenly he felt tired, and fell asleep. The traitor came to his senses already in Mozdok and... immediately asked to return to the Orthodox Faith. Kazbek-Limonov and his sidekick Klochkov managed in the fall of ninety-seven to “mess up” the freed hostages. They served several months in prison “just” for desertion, and then an amnesty arrived. These people not only built houses, but also managed to get married and even have children. Thanks to the efforts of the security officers, the bloody secret finally became a reality in October 2000. The Ichkerian sniper Rybakov was “unlucky” when Russian troops tightly sealed the militants in the village of Ulus-Kert last spring. The werewolf tried to get lost in the column of civilians coming out along the provided corridor, but he was given away by them.
These are petty traitors. I wonder if they are alive? Were they really not “taken care of” in the colony? The question is - who are those who are in the middle between the main and the small? There are probably a lot more of them...
