The roots of the conflict are long, stretching from 1944 to the present; Avars settled in Chechen lands on the day of eviction on February 23, 1944 with music, as they admitted they had been waiting for this day for a long time. Since 1957, the Chechens have suffered all sorts of abuses, humiliation, murders, arson, non-registration, and this is on their ancestral Aukhov territory, and whoever is doing this is the alien invaders with the blessing of the authorities of Dagestan. This can be resolved peacefully only if they are Muslims and believe in Allah, the Avars need to understand that this is not their land, this is not their home, they will not have a good life here, they did not leave anything good for their life together, there are very good ones in Almak places, ask the leadership of Dagestan to help return to their historical places because... There are no documents of the forced resettlement of the Avars and they used the benefits that remained from the Aukhov Chechens-Akkins for more than 70 years, they didn’t even say thank you, and this is Kharam. That's when the Avars voluntarily leave (but they will definitely leave) years will pass, we will forget all the meanness, then the kunakism will be revived, you Avars loved to stay for months on a visit in Aktashaukh, Yurtaukh, and the naive Chechens considered you kunak. Only voluntary withdrawal will eliminate, that is, clear the nuclear mine that was laid by the Avars and the leadership of the Republic of Dagestan and the Russian Federation. We are Chechens - Akkinians of AUKh - we will not leave a single piece of our land. May Allah grant you prudence, in order to understand someone else’s you need to return, thank, ask for forgiveness, and then maybe Allah forgive You for great sins. Crimea taken legally and AUH will be restored legally within the borders of 1944 and you will legally return to your Almak and other villages of the Kazbekovsky and Lak districts.
In Dagestan, more than 150 thousand Chechens live on their ancestral land, the historical territory of residence of the Chechens - Akkins (Aukhs) between the Terek and Sulak rivers, from the black mountains to the Caspian Sea, including the island of Chechen, was called Aukh, where the largest ethnic group of Chechens lived since ancient times (Chechens - Akkins, Okkoks (Aukhovtsy). The Soviet government, implementing its notorious “Leninist” national policy in 1921 against the will of the Chechens, divided one large people (in terms of numbers, the largest people living in this territory) and annexed the Khasavyurt district (these are the current territories Kazbekovsky, Novolaksky, Khasavyurtsky, Babayurtsky and Kizilyurtsky districts) into Dagestan, in 1943 they formed the Aukhovsky district within the current Novolaksky, Kazbekovsky and Khasavyurtsky districts, and the remaining settlements of more than 50 remained outside the Aukhovsky district. all the Chechens, they also expelled the Chechens - the Akkins from the historical homeland of Aukha and not without the help of the then leadership of Dagestan, who had long dreamed of appropriating the Chechen lands. During the period from 1944 to the present, the historical names of settlements have been changed, ancient toponymy has been changed, and history has been distorted. Since returning to their homeland Degasta (Fatherland), the Chechens - the Akkins - have not gone through much, persecution, bullying, they were not hired, educational institutions were not registered, they just wanted to survive from Dagestan - Degasta (Fatherland), and this continues to this day and We are outcasts in our ancestral land, and by the way, the leader of the Chechens is Aukha Shikhmurza - Okkoksky in 1500. exchanged letters of friendship with Russia and this is taken as the basis for friendship with Russia in the history of Chechnya, and his son Botai was the first ambassador to Russia and the residence was now the village of Botayurt, and what we have: more than 60 settlements were wiped off the face of the earth, not even surviving can give their rightful historical names. There is a complete infringement of the people’s right to an original culture, to the revival of a nation that has preserved the most ancient language, there are no state cultural institutions, a theater, although very small nations have several state cultural institutions (near post-war Chechnya, the Avars, Kumyks, Nogais, Russians, Cossacks living there have each several cultural centers) and why in Dagestan, So?
Evil in one thing, in psychology, Dagestanis have long and always dreamed and wanted foreign lands, especially Chechen ones, they were helped by Imam Shamil, who ruined Chechnya, leaving less than half of the population of Chechnya, settled many Avars in Chechnya, tyrant Lenin and Stalin, Chechen Aukh ( Khasavyurt district against the will of the Chechens - Akkins ( the largest Chechen ethnic group) annexed to Dagestan, although the largest number of people living here were Chechens, the leadership of Dagestan, in 1944. Chechens were expelled on the same day and that morning by Avars with the slogans “ Glory to Stalin" We entered the village, as they themselves said, and found tables set with hot food prepared for the holiday. "To the Warriors" they captured several houses, in 1957 they didn’t let us into their houses, we were greeted by the army with machine guns and machine guns, I remember in the cold for 3 days under a canopy at the railway station they weren’t allowed further, and where were the Avars who spent months feeding in these villages and The Aukhots were called Kunaks, not a single one appeared. The rest of the peoples who lived with the Chechens also reacted coldly, the reason was that the Babayurt, Khasavyurt, Kizilyurt districts had more than 60 settlements and in the city of Khasavyurt there were more than 1,500 Chechen houses, the houses and property were returned??, No, but on the contrary, they tried to wipe them off the face of the earth; the remaining ones were handed over to the Avars. Since 1957, life was torment; they didn’t get work or study. Until 1960, even plots for construction were not allocated, everything was done to survive from Dagestan, and restoring the Aukhovsky district was not in the thoughts of the leadership of Dagestan, this can be seen from their actions in 1975 under the guise of an earthquake in the Gumbetovsky district, in the ss. Novolaksky district Gamiyakh, Novochurtakh, Tukhchar settled the Avars, issued good non-repayable loans of 7.5 thousand rubles, gathered there all the Avars from the Khasavyurt, Babayurt, Kizilyurt, Kazbekovsky and mountains, but did not register the Chechens, this is the picture and the New Construction of the Novolaksky district, is this a solution to the problem? , no, this is a nuclear time bomb. What is going on now in Dagestan is clan-mafia power, the city is given to the mafia clan of Avars (Burtunays), the region is given to the mafia clan (Kumyks and Avars), etc. Without a solution to the Chechen issue, there will be no peace and harmony, let alone a normal civil society. We know all our borders, our lands, no matter who they are sold to, this is the property of the Aukhov society, these are its representatives, the Chechens - the Akkins (Okkoks) - exchanged ambassadors with Russia more than 400 years ago Shikhmurza his son Botai was an ambassador and their residence was the current village of Botayurt. We see a story where Crimea was illegally given away and legally returned to Russia. In 1921, the Khasavyurt district was illegally transferred to Dagestan. By the will of Allah, justice will prevail in relation to the Chechens of the AUC, and the AUC will be within the borders of the Khasavyurt district (this is the original historical territory where the Chechens, by their kindness, accepted nomads (Altaians, Kipchaks, Russians, Persians) — and AUH as part of the multinational Russian Federation and we will live in harmony with everyone.
Many in Dagestan do not know this, everything is presented by the Chechens as barbarians, bandits, you need to open your eyes wider to them, you must do this, the whole world is surprised by Chechnya, the Chechen phenomenon, people from all over Russia go there on excursions, and what did Saidpasha leave in Khasavyurt, dirt, broken roads, its own markets and shops, where is the Alley of Heroes, and they destroyed it and built a large trading house, and we scold the Poles and the Balts.
With respect to you, Visirpasha Adzhiev.
On April 22, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, during the board meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Chechen Republic, made a number of statements addressed to the head of the Dagestan Khasavyurt, Saygidpasha Umakhanov. In them, Saygidpasha Umakhanov and his nephew were named bandits and financiers of militants, and Khasavyurt was named as a source from which weapons, drugs and religious extremists come to Chechnya.
These words were voiced in the story of ChGTRK “Grozny”, and then found their way onto the Internet. (In tomorrow's issue of Cheka, read the full text of Kadyrov's speech, as well as an analysis of the ongoing event.)
Today the mayor of Khasavyurt Saygidpasha Umakhanov made his official commentary on what happened. We provide the full text of the message.
Statement by the Head of the Municipal Formation Urban District "Khasavyurt City"
Speaking on April 22, 2014 at a joint meeting of the Temporary Operational Group of Bodies and Divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Collegium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Chechen Republic, the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov made a number of unfounded and even offensive remarks for the multinational people of Dagestan (a report on this event was published in the video blog of the Grozny television and radio company: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jylUfIvHqnY).
My religious and moral convictions, as a close friend of the late Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, do not allow me to enter into polemics with his son, whose merits we see and appreciate. For me, the memory of the first President of the Chechen Republic, who left this life as a martyr, is more valuable than worldly vanity. But as an official, endowed not only with high rights, but also with responsibility for the current destinies and future of my fellow countrymen, I am forced to make the following statement.
The peoples of Dagestan and Chechnya have long been connected by friendship, sealed by the blood of their ancestors. History shows that we have always been together during the most difficult times. The modern period was no exception, when gangs of international terrorists tried to wipe out the Chechen Republic from the face of the earth. Khasavyurt militias took an active part in restoring constitutional order in the neighboring region, paying for it with hundreds of young lives. During the counter-terrorist campaigns, residents of Khasavyurt hosted old people, women and children from Chechnya, providing them with everything they needed. In Khasavyurt hospitals, medical care was provided to residents of the neighboring republic as a priority. The first road train to Gudermes with humanitarian cargo: medicines, food, clothing, school equipment was also collected by Khasavyurt residents. It was in Khasavyurt that teachers of the Chechen schools that were brought back to life were retrained and certified. Khasavyurt helped in organizing the elections of the first President of the Chechen Republic, which took place in full compliance with Russian legislation. There is no need, I think, to list everything: we know that the ordinary people of Chechnya remember this well and always remember it with sincere gratitude.
The fraternal support of those whom the leader of Chechnya called bandits today was highly valued by Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov. Realizing the scale of our own problems, at every opportunity he uttered sincere words of gratitude to the people who helped save his homeland from destruction. A. Kadyrov knew well that the Khasavyurt residents and city leaders were not sitting in the forest camps of the bandit Basayev, but were deciding important issues of the safety of their own population and refugees from the Chechen Republic. All the men of Khasavyurt, including those from the large Umakhanov family, courageously defended the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation, of which Chechnya is an integral part. The merits of Khasavyurt patriots were duly recognized with high state awards by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
I also cannot note the dedication with which the residents of our city helped their neighbors establish a peaceful life, often to the detriment of themselves. But we are used to dealing with our own problems on our own, no matter how difficult it may be for us. And now, when the country’s economy is going through hard times, we are looking for internal reserves, rather than trying to find someone to blame on the outside. This circumstance was noted during my recent meeting with the Head of the Republic of Dagestan Ramazan Abdulatipov, who supported our efforts for the socio-economic development of Khasavyurt. There was no mention of any negative influence of the neighboring republic on these processes in the conversation. There was a unanimous opinion: to look for and find resources ourselves, including in matters of national security. Crime statistics indicate that it is not Dagestan and Khasavyurt, in particular, that are suppliers of weapons and drugs to the Chechen Republic, but quite the opposite. And here we fully support R. Kadyrov’s proposal to strengthen control over the illicit trafficking of weapons, ammunition and narcotic drugs at the administrative border.
Ramzan Kadyrov does a lot to maintain a stable situation in the Chechen Republic, which sometimes ricochets in neighboring regions. Evidence of this is the recent incident of an attempt on my life. This case was carried out by employees of the federal special services, who managed to prevent the evil and caught two residents of Chechnya red-handed. I think the investigation will identify and name the masterminds of the crime, who, apparently, also consider me one of their obstacles in their criminal path.
And in conclusion, I would like to say that I have never interfered in other people's affairs. I have never given anyone a reason to accuse me of this, so I want people to answer me in the same way. “Built steel does not bend, and gold does not rust,” our people say. They also say that there is “a time to destroy and a time to build.” I think it's time to collect the stones. Stones of our common history, stones of our common faith, stones of our common shrines.
Mayor of Khasavyurt Saygidpasha Umakhanov
officially
“The most serious attention should be paid to high-profile crimes, including those with political overtones. “We need to finally save Russia from shame and tragedies like the one we just recently experienced and saw, I mean the daring murder of Boris Nemtsov right in the center of the capital.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin - at the board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 03/04/2015
On February 17, a verdict was very quietly passed in Dagestan in the case of the attempted murder of one of the most influential Caucasian politicians, the mayor of Khasavyurt, Saygidpasha Umakhanov. Two residents of Chechnya, Badrudi Dzhabrailova And Ramzana Kachaeva, were sentenced to 9 and 12 years in a maximum security colony, respectively. Ramzan Kadyrov's adviser Shaa Turlaev, who was put on the federal wanted list, appears in the case as the organizer of the assassination attempt. It was he, according to investigators, who transferred money and weapons (armor-piercing cartridges and a VSK sniper rifle, designed for silent and flameless fire, with a high penetrating and lethal effect of the bullet). A case has also been opened against Turlaev’s security guard Ruslan Bakruev: he shot a sniper rifle for a potential killer.
The trial was open, but, oddly enough, it did not attract the attention of the media and the public. Perhaps because this case was presented as ordinary, although by all measures it was an unsuccessful attempt at political assassination. Both from the point of view of the status of a potential victim and customers, and from the point of view of the political moment. The order for the murder came shortly before the election of the head of the Khasavyurt administration, the significance of which is extremely important for the regional balance of political forces.
The death of Saygidpasha Umakhanov could radically change this situation and thereby reshape the Caucasus.
Performers
40-year-old Badrudi Dzhabrailov was a member of Aslan Maskhadov’s presidential guard from 1997 to 2003 and fought together with his fellow villager Shaa Turlaev, who headed Maskhadov’s guard. In 2003, he was pardoned and accepted into the security service of Chechen President Akhmat Kadyrov, headed by Ramzan Kadyrov. “I was the commander of a platoon of 40 people. We carried out work against the Wahhabis who were hiding in the forests,” is how Dzhabrailov describes his work duties. This fact speaks eloquently about how exactly the “Kadyrovites” carried out their work (they destroyed those with whom they had recently climbed mountains). “Dzhabrailov immediately began to give detailed testimony,” an employee of the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Dagestan told Novaya. — There was no pressure. His own life experiences weighed on him. He said so: “I know what we did with those who did not want to talk. I don’t want this to be done to me."
Biographical information about another fellow villager of Dzhabrailov, 41-year-old Ramzan Kachaev, is extremely scarce in the case materials. In his interrogations, for example, no place of work was indicated at all, even a former one. Nevertheless, the case materials still reveal that Kachaev is an employee of law enforcement agencies. According to Novaya Gazeta, during the second Chechen campaign, Kachaev collaborated with Khankala.
reference
KHANKALA. This was the nickname of the regional operational headquarters (ROH) for the counter-terrorism operation (CTO) in Chechnya, based in the Grozny region of the same name and led by the FSB. From the very beginning of the second Chechen campaign, the federal ROSH was headed by FSB director Patrushev, and the regional one, in Khankala, was headed by his deputy Yezhkov. In 2003, the leadership of the KTO was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But in reality, nothing has changed: the ROSH was still headed by people from the FSB, who had only formally changed their civilian clothes to a police uniform. Khankala was the most sinister place in Chechnya. The main role in operational support in the case of the attempt on Umakhanov belongs to the FSB Directorate for Dagestan. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was assigned an auxiliary function. The case was under the personal control of the director of the FSB of Russia, Bortnikov. Perhaps it is precisely because of corporate attitudes that the fact that Kachaev is in fact a former FSB agent does not appear in any interrogation.
...From Dzhabrailov’s testimony: “In the summer of 2013, Shaa Turlaev and I met in a park located in the city of Gudermes. During a conversation with Turlaev Shaa, he asked me if I had a reliable person in the Republic of Dagestan, I replied that I had no acquaintances there, but most likely Ramzan Kachaev would, who, according to rumors, worked as an employee and often went on business trips around Republic of Dagestan, mainly in the city of Khasavyurt... Two days later, I met again with Turlaev Shaa, Kachaev Ramzan also came there... Shaa told me and Kachaev Ramzan that the mayor of Khasavyurt must be removed. When we asked why it needed to be removed, he told us that it was none of our business...” ( original spelling and punctuation preserved).
Kachaev involved his longtime acquaintance Ayub Uzdenov in the operation. In the materials of the criminal case, Uzdenov, a Chechen by nationality, is described as a small entrepreneur from Khasavyurt. According to Novaya Gazeta, Uzdenov and Kachaev met back in the 2000s. Both worked for Khankala.
Ayub Uzdenov, apparently, really had a conflictual relationship with the mayor of Khasavyurt. At least, both Kachaev and Dzhabrailov spoke about this during the investigation and in court. It was planned that Uzdenov would become the direct perpetrator of the murder.
Organizer
Left: current adviser to the head of Chechnya, Shaa Turlaev, who is on the international and federal wanted list on suspicion of organizing several murders and attempted murders. Right: protocol of Dzhabrailov’s identification of Kadyrov’s adviser Shaa Turlaev as the person who transferred weapons and money to organize the assassination attempt on the mayor of Khasavyurt The attempt on the life of Saygidpasha Umakhanov became the third Russian criminal case in which Shaa Turlaev appears as the organizer of the murder.
Shaa Turlaev(nickname Sedoy) is one of Aslan Maskhadov’s closest supporters, an active participant in the Chechen underground of the first and second military campaigns. In 2004, as a result of his injury, Turlaev developed gangrene in his leg, and he surrendered under the guarantees of Ramzan Kadyrov. Turlaev was given amnesty. After treatment, as a result of which his leg was amputated, he was appointed advisor to Kadyrov. The main function is intelligence work on current and former members of the underground. He is involved in several criminal cases of murder and attempted murder: the case of Umar Israilov (killed in January 2009 in Vienna), the case of Ruslan Yamadayev (killed in 2008 in the center of Moscow), the case of the attempted murder of Magomed Ocherkhadzhi in Norway, the case of attempted murder of Isa Yamadayev in Moscow. Put on the international and federal wanted list. A search case against Turlaev was opened by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow in March 2010. Shaa Turlaev lives in Chechnya, Gudermes. The address, like the main telephone number, has not changed for several years. Moves freely throughout the territory of the republic. The last active operational search activities against Turlaev were carried out in 2014 in the case of the assassination attempt on Saygidpasha Umakhanov. Quote from the case: “To establish the location of Turlaev Sh.S. does not seem possible".
Customers
...In October 2013, Uzdenov handed over his accomplices to the FSB. He not only talked about the role of Dzhabrailov, Kachaev and even Shaa Turlaev. He also indicated the motive for the murder and named one of the alleged customers (the materials of the criminal case specifically emphasize that there are several customers).
From Uzdenov’s testimony: “I wondered whose order this was and what people were behind it, what<Качаев>replied that Saygidpasha had friction with Adam Delimkhanov, who is an influential person... After the conversation with Kachaev Ramzan, I called my friend a police officer. We met with this employee and I began to ask him what happened to Saygidpasha and Delimkhanov Adam, I also asked different people, each told differently, but the fact of a clash between them took place ... "
Adam Delimkhanov is a State Duma deputy from the Chechen Republic, whom Ramzan Kadyrov called his “successor” in an interview with Prokhanov.
Adam Delimkhanov ...According to the official version, Uzdenov voluntarily cooperated with the authorities. This is actually quite doubtful. To voluntarily name the second most influential person in Chechnya as the orderer of a murder is a suicidal act. It also does not fit with the official version when exactly Uzdenov leaked information about the impending assassination attempt: only a few months after receiving the order. In 2009, he was put on the international wanted list on charges of organizing the murder of Sulim Yamadayev (Dubai). In 2012, Dubai authorities withdrew their request for an international search for Delimkhanov. The proceedings in the case of the murder of Sulim Yamadayev were discontinued due to the reconciliation of blood relations that took place in 2010 - Isa Yamadayev and Ramzan Kadyrov.
Most likely, Uzdenov actually initially participated in the preparation of the assassination attempt. He received a deposit of two hundred thousand rubles from intermediaries, carried out reconnaissance on the ground, trying to calculate the optimal method and moment for the murder. Apparently, it was then that he literally came to the attention of Umakhanov’s security service: he was recorded by numerous cameras equipped with the main routes of movement of the city mayor. It is a fact that it was Umakhanov’s security who were the first to learn about the impending assassination attempt. A source close to the mayor of Khasavyurt confirmed to me that they worked with Uzdenov for a week before transferring information about the assassination attempt to the FSB Directorate for the Republic of Dagestan. There is no doubt that everything he knew was shaken out of the failed killer. There is also no doubt that without this “work with the witness,” Uzdenov’s testimony would have been much less frank.
Tender
Important detail. The practice, common in Chechnya, when several separate groups of killers work simultaneously on one order, was almost for the first time reflected in the materials of this particular criminal case.
By the way, the word “order” is not used in Chechnya. The word “tender” is used in its literal meaning - “a competitive form of selection of proposals for the performance of work on the principles of competition.” That is, whoever liquidates first gets money.
In addition, duplication of teams of performers guarantees greater efficiency. All groups receive funding, they are all supplied with weapons, ammunition, explosives, and technical means. In each such group there can be a distribution of roles: who carries out surveillance, who shoots, who is responsible for escape routes, etc. But they act autonomously from each other.
From Uzdenov’s testimony: “<Качаев>said that there was an order for the head of the city of Khasavyurt, Saygidpasha. Now the topic seems to have gone away, they are working there other people... I, in turn, said that no group, which they connected, will not be able to work on this matter,<так как Умаханов>an influential man and travels with great security... About a month later I met again with<Качаевым>..., asked for a loan of 200,000 rubles, he said - I don’t have that kind of money, but there is a person from whom I can take this money. During the conversation, he again raised the above topic and said, maybe we can work on this topic, since others are working and they can get a lot of money... He said that he would talk to a serious person who is now away, and then together we will sit down and talk about this topic. When we talked about the topic, we meant the murder of the head of the city of Khasavyurt... Ramzan<Качаев>introduced me... Badrudi<Джабраилова>, as his relative and an influential person who can solve any issues... They began to touch on the above topic and said that he works there another group, and they will soon complete the work and there are serious people standing there...” “Dzhabrailov B.M. directly stated that other groups are engaged in organizing the murder of S.D. Umakhanov... He also said that for organizing the murder of S.D. Umakhanov. They give a lot of money, he clarified that we are talking about millions...”
Operation Vultures
Operational video filming at A. Uzdenov’s apartment. The fake killer, who is an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Dagestan, puts the sniper rifle and advance payment received from Dzhabrailov and Kachaev into his bag. In a second, he will give a prearranged signal to begin a special operation to neutralize criminals
...Operational search activities lasted four months. Uzdenov’s apartment, where meetings with Kachaev and Dzhabrailov take place, will be equipped with video and audio equipment. Uzdenov himself is given a conversation recording device camouflaged as a car key fob. He writes all his conversations with his accomplices on it. There are no traces of editing in the recordings. Uzdenov, at the instigation of the operatives, dissuades his accomplices from using a bomb to kill Umakhanov (the audio recordings discuss in detail where and from whom one can buy a tank shell and how to make a mine out of it and plant it on the route of Umakhanov’s motorcade). Uzdenov suggests using a sniper weapon and shooting Umakhanov the moment he goes to someone’s wedding or funeral. Shaa Turlaev takes out the weapon and hands it to Dzhabrailov. In order to “tie” Dzhabrailov and Kachaev to arms, Uzdenov travels to Chechnya. Uzdenov's car is under surveillance.
From Uzdenov’s testimony: “We went to the village. Novogrozny, where Badrudi was already waiting for us<Джабраилов>... Sitting in the car, we began to wait for the man... A Toyota Land Cruiser jeep drove up... a young guy of short stature with a beard came out... He opened the trunk of his car, where there were a lot of weapons..."
From the case materials: “The investigation established that on October 23, 2013, Kachaev R.I. and Dzhabrailov B.M. in order to check the condition received from Trulaev Sh.S. VSK-94 rifle weapons for the possibility of firing shots from it were encountered on the territory of the village. Novogrozny of the Chechen Republic with R.Sh. Bakruev, who came to them in a black TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 200 with state registration plates KRA - Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich. In Chechnya, these are the most prestigious letter combinations on license plates. Random people cannot get such numbers. In the list of those entitled to “wear” such numbers, Shaa Turlaev appears at number 998.. Bakruev R.Sh... began to check the combat readiness and zeroing of this rifle, firing more than 50 shots... He also gave instructions on its use... According to available information, Bakruev R.Sh. put on the federal wanted list on suspicion of<участии в незаконных вооруженных формированиях>and in<незаконном изготовлении, переделке огнестрельного оружия и изготовлении боеприпасов>…»
Lists of owners of KRA series numbers that can be found on the Internet / Steer.ru ...At the instigation of Uzdenov, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Dagestan is introduced into the group under the guise of a killer. On February 11, 2014, at Uzdenov’s apartment, when handing over a rifle to a fake killer, as well as ammunition and 100,000 rubles (everything goes to Shaa Turlaev), the would-be perpetrators are caught red-handed. The video clearly shows how the fake killer packs a rifle in a bag, counts the money, gives a signal and instantly falls to the floor. Uzdenov is also hiding behind the wall. And Kachaev and Dzhabrailov look with open mouths at the special forces bursting in from all sides.
When studying declassified materials from the operational investigation case, it turned out that even FSB officers have a sense of humor. The special operation to neutralize Chechen killers was codenamed “Vultures.”
Saygidpasha Umakhanov Victim
In the criminal case of the attempt on Umakhanov’s life, what is striking is the incredible technical recording of absolutely all key operational and investigative actions. Even the interrogation of the victim Umakhanov was filmed, and the disk with the file was carefully, according to all the rules, sealed and included in the case file.
The interrogation itself is brief in both form and substance. It is striking how carefully the investigator and the victim weigh every word and categorically avoid dangerous names. The investigator, for example, does not ask a natural and very important question about the reason for the quarrel between Adam Delimkhanov and Saygidpasha Umakhanov. In turn, Umakhanov calls Shaa Turlaev not an adviser to Kadyrov, but exclusively “a militant who fought against the Russian Federation”
Umakhanov “is not familiar with Dzhabrailov and Kachaev,” when asked by the investigator: “Why exactly did natives of Chechnya participate in the preparation of the murder?” - answers like this:
“I think this is revenge, because at the time when they were militants and fought against the Constitution of the Russian Federation, we rebuffed them, and now they have come to power and want to eliminate me for the past.”
This is the only hint about the current Chechen authorities that Umakhanov allowed himself.
But if you look at the situation from a political perspective, the strange behavior of the victim, who first ran for a long time from investigators abroad, and then renounced all his rights (to familiarize himself with the case materials and participate in court), becomes understandable.
This case was supposed to protect Umakhanov from a very serious political opponent. But it could also do harm. That is why Umakhanov never made public accusations, and all the time bombs in the case were established by the testimony of Ayub Uzdenov.
Answer from S. D. Umakhanov:
Motive
year 2014. Ramzan Kadyrov - about government officials in Dagestan / Youtube
Adam Delimkhanov is not the only influential Chechen with whom Saygidpasha Umakhanov quarreled. And here it is very important to remember exactly when the order for the murder was received - shortly before the election of the head of the administration of Khasavyurt, the third largest city in Dagestan. Saigidpasha Darbishevich Umakhanov has been its sovereign owner for 18 years. And his conflict with the Kadyrovs lasts for about 10 years. Father and son.
Umakhanov owes his life to Kadyrov Sr. They say that Akhmat-Khadzhi pulled him out of a very serious scrape. But when he demanded that his man (a Chechen) be appointed deputy mayor of Khasavyurt, Umakhanov categorically refused him this. Like his father, Ramzan Kadyrov also repeatedly made attempts to introduce his people into Khasavyurt. But if for Kadyrov Sr. this was important from the point of view of the return to Chechnya of the former Aukhovsky district, transferred to Dagestan in 1944 (after the deportation of the Vainakhs and the liquidation of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the territory of the region was redrawn, now it is mostly the Novolaksky district and, according to the Chechen elite , Khasavyurtovsky), then for Kadyrov Jr. it may also be a question of control over the cash flows that make Khas one of the richest cities in the Caucasus. On the territory of this rather nondescript, chaotic, completely destroyed in terms of public utilities, architecture, roads, etc. In the city (and this is especially striking in comparison with the new cities in Chechnya), the largest wholesale market in Dagestan is located, where all small and medium-sized Chechen businesses sell goods. The Chechen authorities have been trying unsuccessfully for many years to take the palm from Khasavyurt. Not far from the administrative border with Dagestan, huge wholesale markets were even built, which had to be closed due to economic insolvency.
It is very important to understand that the conflict between Kadyrov and Umakhanov is not only personal and business, but also political. This is, of course, a fight for Khasavyurt. And now, by force of the moment, for Dagestan.
After the arrest of the mayor of Makhachkala Said Amirov in June 2013 and the death of deputy Gadzhi Makhachev in a traffic accident in December of the same year, two serious opposing heavyweights remained in Dagestan politics: the mayor of Khasavyurt Umakhanov and the head of the Dagestan Pension Fund, former wrestler Sagid Murtazaliev. Each of them is a potential candidate for the highest position in the republic. Once upon a time, Umakhanov and Murtazaliev were part of the so-called “Northern Alliance”, created in the 90s by immigrants from the Avar diaspora, then their roads diverged. The stumbling block was the interests of the Chechen leader, who openly quarrels with Umakhanov and actively supports Murtazaliev. It is no coincidence that Sagid Murtazaliev is called the “Dagestan Ramzan Kadyrov.”
The liquidation of the mayor of Khasavyurt would clear the political horizon for Sagid Murtazaliev. The favor of the Kremlin, given the influence of Ramzan Kadyrov, would not be a problem.
Resonance
Information about the unsuccessful attempt on Umakhanov could not help but leak to the press. Still, whatever one may say, the matter is loud. The information appeared in the media a month after the arrest of suspects Kachaev and Dzhabrailov. Just neutral news that mentions the names of the suspects and the fact that both are natives of Chechnya.
However, soon at a board meeting of the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ramzan Kadyrov called Umakhanov a “bandit” and accused him of financing the Dagestan armed underground.
Umakhanov responded with restraint: “I think the investigation will establish and name the masterminds of the crime, who, apparently, also consider me one of their obstacles in their criminal path.”
After this, Kadyrov tightened control on the administrative border with Dagestan. Huge queues of cars lined up at the Gerzel checkpoint from Khas to Chechnya.
In response, Saygidpasha Umakhanov canceled the Days of Chechen Culture in Khasavyurt.
Unexpectedly, Alexei Navalny intervened in the situation. He submitted a request to the Investigative Committee and asked Bastrykin to prosecute either Umakhanov (for banditry) or Kadyrov for libel.
The conflict threatened to reach the federal level, but this was not necessary, and the topic was closed. On all fronts.
There was not a single leak about the progress of the investigation into the assassination attempt on Umakhanov. The victim waived all his rights. Navalny forgot about his scandalous request. The residence of Ramzan Kadyrov’s adviser Shaa Turlaev has not yet been established. This turned out to be an incredibly difficult task for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB Directorate of Dagestan. I couldn’t even believe that it was these very departments that recently carried out the brilliant Operation Vultures. In the end, the search for Turlaev was passed on to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow. The case against security guard Turlaev was transferred under jurisdiction to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Chechnya. Both Moscow and Chechen police coped with the task equally “effectively.”
The status of the case, in which only two links remained from the entire chain of contract killings - accomplices Dzhabrailov and Kachaev, was downgraded to ordinary. The head of the third largest city in Dagestan, a significant politician at the regional level, turned into just a citizen Umakhanov. The actions of the accused were qualified as preparation for attempted murder, committed for mercenary reasons. Although there were all the signs of an encroachment on the life of a statesman or public figure. That is, attempted political murder.
The case against the customers was separated into separate proceedings. Their identities have not yet been established.
“Tender” is still one of the most relevant words in Chechnya.

Murder of a nephew
On April 28, 2009, the nephew of Saygidpasha Umakhanov, Magomed Umakhanov, was killed in Khasavyurt.

Alkhamatov was killed in Moscow, for whose murder Khabib Umakhanov, the nephew of Saygidpasha Umakhanov, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. According to one version, the motive for the murder was blood revenge for his brother Magomed. Khabib suspected that members of the Alkhamatov family were involved in the murder of his brother and swore revenge at his grave. He organized a criminal group, which included Gilani Saipov, Khabib Budaikhanov and a number of other individuals. Accomplices under the leadership of Umakhanov developed a crime plan, organized surveillance of the head of the district, acquired firearms and ammunition, vehicles, communications and disguise items. After the murder, Umakhanov fled to Germany, from where he was extradited to Russia. Khabib Umakhanov is the son of the deputy of the National Assembly of the Republic of Dagestan Akhmedpasha Umakhanov, who is the brother of Sagidpasha Umakhanov.

Notes
Excerpt characterizing Umakhanov, Saygidpasha Darbishevich
“Besides, Pyotr Nikolaich, having joined the guard, I am visible,” Berg continued, “and vacancies in the guards infantry are much more frequent.” Then, figure out for yourself how I could make a living out of two hundred and thirty rubles. “And I’m putting it aside and sending it to my father,” he continued, starting the ring.“La balance y est... [The balance is established...] A German is threshing a loaf of bread on the butt, comme dit le proverbe, [as the proverb says],” Shinshin said, shifting the amber to the other side of his mouth and winked at the count.
The Count burst out laughing. Other guests, seeing that Shinshin was talking, came up to listen. Berg, not noticing either ridicule or indifference, continued to talk about how by transferring to the guard he had already won a rank in front of his comrades in the corps, how in wartime a company commander can be killed, and he, remaining senior in the company, can very easily be company commander, and how everyone in the regiment loves him, and how his daddy is pleased with him. Berg apparently enjoyed telling all this, and did not seem to suspect that other people might also have their own interests. But everything he told was so sweetly sedate, the naivety of his young egoism was so obvious that he disarmed his listeners.
- Well, father, you will be in action in both the infantry and the cavalry; “This is what I predict for you,” said Shinshin, patting him on the shoulder and lowering his legs from the ottoman.
Berg smiled happily. The Count, followed by the guests, went into the living room.
There was that time before a dinner party when the assembled guests do not begin a long conversation in anticipation of the call for appetizers, but at the same time consider it necessary to move and not remain silent in order to show that they are not at all impatient to sit down at the table. The owners glance at the door and occasionally glance at each other. From these glances, guests try to guess who or what else they are waiting for: an important relative who is late, or food that is not yet ripe.
Pierre arrived just before dinner and sat awkwardly in the middle of the living room on the first available chair, blocking everyone's path. The Countess wanted to force him to speak, but he naively looked through his glasses around him, as if looking for someone, and answered all the Countess’s questions in monosyllables. He was shy and alone did not notice it. Most of the guests, who knew his story with the bear, looked curiously at this big, fat and humble man, wondering how such a bumpkin and modest man could do such a thing to a policeman.
-Have you arrived recently? - the countess asked him.
“Oui, madame,” he answered, looking around.
-Have you seen my husband?
- Non, madame. [No, madam.] - He smiled completely inappropriately.
– You, it seems, were recently in Paris? I think it's very interesting.
- Very interesting..
The Countess exchanged glances with Anna Mikhailovna. Anna Mikhailovna realized that she was being asked to occupy this young man, and, sitting down next to him, began to talk about her father; but just like the countess, he answered her only in monosyllables. The guests were all busy with each other. Les Razoumovsky... ca a ete charmant... Vous etes bien bonne... La comtesse Apraksine... [The Razoumovskys... It was amazing... You are very kind... Countess Apraksina...] was heard from all sides. The Countess got up and went into the hall.
- Marya Dmitrievna? – her voice was heard from the hall.
“She’s the one,” a rough female voice was heard in response, and after that Marya Dmitrievna entered the room.
All the young ladies and even the ladies, with the exception of the oldest ones, stood up. Marya Dmitrievna stopped at the door and, from the height of her corpulent body, holding high her fifty-year-old head with gray curls, looked around at the guests and, as if rolling up, slowly straightened the wide sleeves of her dress. Marya Dmitrievna always spoke Russian.
“Dear birthday girl with the children,” she said in her loud, thick voice, suppressing all other sounds. “What, you old sinner,” she turned to the count, who was kissing her hand, “tea, are you bored in Moscow?” Is there anywhere to run the dogs? What should we do, father, this is how these birds will grow up...” She pointed to the girls. - Whether you want it or not, you have to look for suitors.
- Well, what, my Cossack? (Marya Dmitrievna called Natasha a Cossack) - she said, caressing Natasha with her hand, who approached her hand without fear and cheerfully. – I know that the potion is a girl, but I love her.
She took out pear-shaped yakhon earrings from her huge reticule and, giving them to Natasha, who was beaming and blushing for her birthday, immediately turned away from her and turned to Pierre.
- Eh, eh! kind! “Come here,” she said in a feignedly quiet and thin voice. - Come on, my dear...
And she menacingly rolled up her sleeves even higher.
Pierre approached, naively looking at her through his glasses.
- Come, come, my dear! I was the only one who told your father the truth when he had a chance, but God commands it to you.
She paused. Everyone was silent, waiting for what would happen, and feeling that there was only a preface.
- Good, nothing to say! good boy!... The father is lying on his bed, and he is amusing himself, putting the policeman on a bear. It's a shame, father, it's a shame! It would be better to go to war.
She turned away and offered her hand to the count, who could hardly restrain himself from laughing.
- Well, come to the table, I have tea, is it time? - said Marya Dmitrievna.
The count walked ahead with Marya Dmitrievna; then the countess, who was led by a hussar colonel, the right person with whom Nikolai was supposed to catch up with the regiment. Anna Mikhailovna - with Shinshin. Berg shook hands with Vera. A smiling Julie Karagina went with Nikolai to the table. Behind them came other couples, stretching across the entire hall, and behind them, one by one, were children, tutors and governesses. The waiters began to stir, the chairs rattled, music began to play in the choir, and the guests took their seats. The sounds of the count's home music were replaced by the sounds of knives and forks, the chatter of guests, and the quiet steps of waiters.
At one end of the table the countess sat at the head. On the right is Marya Dmitrievna, on the left is Anna Mikhailovna and other guests. At the other end sat the count, on the left the hussar colonel, on the right Shinshin and other male guests. On one side of the long table are older young people: Vera next to Berg, Pierre next to Boris; on the other hand - children, tutors and governesses. From behind the crystal, bottles and vases of fruit, the Count looked at his wife and her tall cap with blue ribbons and diligently poured wine for his neighbors, not forgetting himself. The countess also, from behind the pineapples, not forgetting her duties as a housewife, cast significant glances at her husband, whose bald head and face, it seemed to her, were more sharply different from his gray hair in their redness. There was a steady babble on the ladies' end; in the men's room, voices were heard louder and louder, especially the hussar colonel, who ate and drank so much, blushing more and more, that the count was already setting him up as an example to the other guests. Berg, with a gentle smile, spoke to Vera that love is not an earthly, but a heavenly feeling. Boris named his new friend Pierre the guests at the table and exchanged glances with Natasha, who was sitting opposite him. Pierre spoke little, looked at new faces and ate a lot. Starting from two soups, from which he chose a la tortue, [turtle,] and kulebyaki and to hazel grouse, he did not miss a single dish and not a single wine, which the butler mysteriously stuck out in a bottle wrapped in a napkin from behind his neighbor’s shoulder, saying or “drey Madeira", or "Hungarian", or "Rhine wine". He placed the first of the four crystal glasses with the count's monogram that stood in front of each device, and drank with pleasure, looking at the guests with an increasingly pleasant expression. Natasha, sitting opposite him, looked at Boris the way thirteen-year-old girls look at a boy with whom they had just kissed for the first time and with whom they are in love. This same look of hers sometimes turned to Pierre, and under the gaze of this funny, lively girl he wanted to laugh himself, not knowing why.
