Background

The perpetrators of crimes committed by law enforcement officers are officials bodies of internal affairs, services for control over the circulation of narcotic drugs, bailiffs, customs, other persons whose activities are related to the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, society and the state. Crime is most often associated with official activity committed with the use of official powers, out of mercenary or other personal interest.

Such crimes include, for example, abuse of power, abuse of power, taking a bribe, falsifying evidence, etc. For the commission of these crimes, the law provides for the appointment additional punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities, as well as deprivation of the guilty person of a special rank.

The commander of military unit No. 6791 of the North Caucasian Military District, Roman Kurdyukov, was detained by the FSB. What the serviceman was suspected of is still unknown, sources in the department told RBC and confirmed by a source close to the Russian Guard.

According to RBC, on the evening of October 25, Kurdyukov was taken out of the unit's territory in handcuffs. According to a source close to the National Guard, about three weeks ago there was a "rebellion against lawlessness" in the unit. “Kurdyukov arranged unbearable conditions of service. It came to the threat of dismissal for lying on a bed, ”said the interlocutor.

One of the former subordinates of the commander added that back in 2012, Kurdyukov, while holding the post of commander of the first special-purpose battalion in unit No. 6779, violated the rights of his subordinates. For example, he could forbid military personnel to sleep on beds during lunch break, which caused them to lie down on the floor.

The administrator of the Operline.ru site for security forces provided RBC with a photograph from 2012, which, according to him, depicts soldiers of the first company operational purpose of the first special-purpose battalion of unit No. 6779. It shows that the servicemen are sleeping on the floor and on bedside benches. A former colleague of Kurdyukov confirmed the authenticity of the picture.

On October 23, Senior Lieutenant Marat Gadzhiev, who served in unit No. 6791, four colleagues. According to the head of the National Guard, Viktor Zolotov, the reason was “ordinary everyday issues”: Gazhdiev, according to him, had problems with housing, which he was not provided on time; in addition, he was in conflict with his wife, who lives with him.

As Zolotov said, when the senior lieutenant went on vacation, the battalion commander “simply tried to fire him due to the fact that they did not have their relationship, and he simply removed his wife from the unit, from this unit.” Upon his return from vacation, Gadzhiev discovered that instead of his wife, a colleague was assigned to him. This situation, according to the director of the National Guard, "caused an emotional outburst" in the senior lieutenant, because of which he went to the room with weapons and took a machine gun and cartridges from there.

First, Hajiyev opened fire on his visiting colleagues. Having killed two, he shot another National Guard soldier at the exit from the building. Then the senior lieutenant went to the parade ground, where he killed a military man who was passing by. A group of the central apparatus arrived at the scene and killed the attacker.

At the same time, Kommersant, citing sources, said that shortly before the incident, Gadzhiev found out that they wanted to dismiss him from the service. He decided to sort things out with the officer who filed the corresponding petition. Having previously drunk, he went to this officer. On the way, he met a platoon leader who tried to convince Ganzhiev not to shoot the officer. As a result, the senior lieutenant shot the commander and three other colleagues who had fled to the shots.

Commander of Russian Guard soldiers killed in Chechnya detained

In Chechnya, the commander of a division of the Russian Guard was detained, where on October 23 the officer shot four of his colleagues, sources in law enforcement agencies said.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 23, in the Chechen village in Shelkovskaya, senior lieutenant of the Russian Guard Marat Gadzhiev opened fire in the barracks and mortally wounded four colleagues. He himself was killed. The tragedy in Shelkovskaya was caused by the emotional reaction of a serviceman whose wife was evicted from the unit, Zolotov, head of the Russian Guard, said on October 25.

Hajiyev's colleagues believe that difficult relations with the command could have provoked him.

A source in the law enforcement agencies of Chechnya told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent about the detention of the commander of the National Guard unit stationed in Shelkovskaya.

“The commander of the unit in which Marat Gadzhiev served, who shot his colleagues, was detained. Military investigators are working with him,” the source said, adding that the officer was detained this morning.

The military commandant's office in Chechnya neither confirmed nor denied this information.

The detention of the commander of the Russian Guard battalion in Chechnya, where the fighter shot his colleagues, was reported today with reference to unnamed sources, RenTV, noting that the commander was taken out in handcuffs.

The same was reported by a source close to the FSB, and a source close to the National Guard, to which RBC refers. At the same time, according to the publication, the commander of the military unit where the soldier shot his colleagues was detained by employees of the Investigation Department of the TFR for the Southern Military District on the evening of October 25.

According to a source close to the National Guard, the commander "arranged unbearable conditions of service." "It came to the threat of dismissal for lying on a bed," the source said. According to him, the commander could forbid sleeping on beds at lunchtime, because of which the fighters were forced to lie down on the floor, and about three weeks before the incident with Gadzhiev, there was a "riot against lawlessness" in the unit.

Earlier, a source in the administration of the Shelkovsky district told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the unit of the Russian Guard stationed in the Shelkovskaya district center in Chechnya is commanded by Major Roman Nikolayevich Kurdyukov. The same information is confirmed by the data of the SPARK-Interfax system.

There was no information about the detention of an officer in Chechnya on the websites of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard, according to data as of 15.46 Moscow time on October 26.

This February marks 16 years since the creation of one of the most unusual units in the recent history of the Russian armed forces - the 694th separate motorized rifle battalion, better known as the General Yermolov battalion. The history of the Ermolovsky battalion is only a few months of the first Chechen campaign. Or you can say differently - several months of almost continuous fighting ...

The new unit was created in February 1996 by order of Colonel General Anatoly Kvashnin - at that time he was the commander of the North Caucasus Military District - immediately after the events in Dagestan and Pervomaisky. The uniqueness of the Yermolov battalion was that it was staffed exclusively by volunteers - Terek and Kuban Cossacks, who signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense, with a very specific goal - to protect the Cossack villages of the Naursky and Shelkovsky regions of Chechnya from gangs.

Place of birth - Prokhladny
The 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade, numbering 800 people, was formed in the town of Prokhladny in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic on the basis of the 135th motorized rifle brigade of the 58th Army. From a military point of view, it was a 100% mountain rifle unit, with a mortar battery, flamethrowers and AGS-17 units. The reconnaissance platoon was also thoroughly equipped: machine guns with silent firing devices, silent pistols, night vision goggles, reconnaissance pipes for observation from shelters. Those who were familiar with the then situation in the army units operating in Chechnya will appreciate it.
The situation was worse with armored vehicles. First, the battalion was given old BTR-70s, and a few months later they were replaced with completely unsuitable MTLBs.
Regular officers made up the battalion administration and commanded companies, the positions of platoon commanders were staffed by Cossacks. From the very beginning, the unit tried to rely on the old Cossack traditions. For example, instead of checking, they read morning and evening prayers. Already in Chechnya, if some discontent arose in the team (as a rule, due to logistics), gatherings were collected. They even remembered the forgotten provision that the Cossack in the war had no right to drink alcohol. But, alas, it did not stick.
The formation of the unit was completed in two months, but neither the relevant exercises nor combat coordination were carried out. Of course, among the contracted Cossacks there were many who had already fought in Karabakh, Transnistria, and Abkhazia. There were also professional soldiers. But still, a significant part of the battalion personnel did not have any combat experience. This fact played a tragic role in the very first serious clash.

Down and Out trouble started
The battalion, as planned, was sent to the village of Chervlennaya, Shelkovsky district of Chechnya. Immediately upon arrival, the Yermolovites tried to protect the Russian-speaking population from illegal actions by the separatists, to ensure the targeted flow of humanitarian aid, which had not previously reached the Russians. Another task was no less important. The fact is that the calm northern regions of Chechnya were used by militants for recreation, treatment of the wounded and the creation of supply bases. The Cossacks from the very first days began to identify and destroy the infrastructure of the bandit underground.
The Chechens were very excited about all this, moreover, both the Dudayevites and the Zavgaevites. They regarded the actions of the Cossack battalion as the first step towards the return of the two districts to their rightful owners - the Cossacks. The newspaper of the rebels "Ichkeria" commented on everything that happened as follows: "A black cloud of the Cossack invasion hangs over free Ichkeria." Pressure began on invisible springs in Moscow. The result - ten days later, General Konstantin Pulikovsky, who at that time commanded the Joint Grouping of Federal Forces in the Chechen Republic, ordered the battalion to move out of the northern regions to Grozny.
On March 8, 1996, the Yermolovites received the task of entering the city and gaining a foothold in the Zavodskoy district. These days on the streets of the Chechen capital there were violent clashes with detachments of militants infiltrated into the city. Here, in Grozny, the battalion received its baptism of fire and suffered its first losses: two killed, 17 wounded.
This is how Vladislav Ivnitsky, deputy commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 694th OMSB, described those events: “Spirits” then surrounded the checkpoint of the internal troops on the way to the Zavodskoy district. And the battalion went to the rescue. Two hours before the end of daylight, almost in a parade march... The militants, apparently, did not expect such impudence. But after a few minutes they opened fire almost point-blank. The column froze. People fell to the ground and took up all-round defense, which, in principle, was superfluous there. And they raised such a fire that in two hours they used up almost all the ammunition. Only God's mercy saved the unit from destruction. The next morning they went on the offensive, as expected: in front of the infantry, behind the armored vehicles. And in the evening a meeting took place, which for a long time put the stamp of shame on the unit. Then about sixty people left us, who refused to continue fighting in Grozny. Maybe for the better... Random and unprincipled people left. Those who remained unconditionally believed each other. There was a feeling of a real fighting brotherhood. We felt like Yermolovites and knew that we would go to the end together.”
The departure of some of the fighters is undoubtedly one of the most dramatic moments in the short history of the unit. And not everyone agreed with Ivnitsky's assessment.
The fact is that the Cossacks went to the battalion not so much to participate in the war, which by that time had already finally secured such characteristics as “strange” and “sold”, but to protect the Slavic population. Moreover, the unit was formed for this purpose. And one more thing: many were convinced that the battalion had been set up in that battle. Although, of course, some people just lost their minds ...
But the Yermolovites recovered quickly, and took control of the entire Zavodskoy district, put things in order there.

further south
The 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade was withdrawn from Grozny two weeks later. It looked like a concession to the local authorities, who raised a fuss. On the Chechen radio, reports began to pass about hordes of Cossacks who were operating in the city. In fact, the battalion's area of ​​responsibility was only factories and industrial facilities. Nevertheless, the Cossacks were removed away so as not to cause a stir. They generally tried not to talk about the battalion when it fought in Chechnya. What are the Cossacks? There are no Cossacks, there is a military unit staffed by contractors.
Throughout the entire period of the battalion's participation in hostilities, it was pursued, probably by purposefully spread rumors about the atrocities and atrocities perpetrated by the Cossacks against the civilian population. That the Yermolovites, in this way, allegedly took revenge on the Chechens for the crimes they had committed against the Slavic population of the republic. But none of these rumors were confirmed. Not a single real fact of illegal actions of the Yermolovites is known. They acted resolutely, uncompromisingly, sometimes extremely harshly. But only against an armed enemy. Moreover, in this sense, the battalion favorably differed from ordinary units. If only because all his fighters were believing Christians, and sought to act in accordance with God's commandments and ancient Cossack traditions.
Then the 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade took part in the assault on Orekhovo. The militants turned this small village into a real fortified area, which was surrounded by three lines of defense, equipped with ceilings, communication passages, single shelters - the so-called "fox holes".
Vladislav Ivnitsky recalls: “The reconnaissance group crept up to the positions of the militants about three hundred meters through the forest, but the battalion could not get through here. The trail turned out to be too narrow and in some areas it was well shot through. In addition, along the way we counted about forty stretch marks. At first they were designated with rag scraps, and when the last handkerchief was torn, they began to cut off the fingers at the gloves. beautiful idea detour maneuver did not work, there was a frontal assault. Nobody slept the night before the operation. There was a bad premonition, and the booze continued until dawn. Everyone was screaming and having fun. It was scary. The men talked about everything except tomorrow.”
The riverbed divides Orekhovo into two parts. The federals advanced along the right bank, the Cossacks took the left. A risky but quite effective bait-fishing tactic was used. Four scouts walked ahead, which provoked the enemy to open fire. The discovered firing points already destroyed the main forces of the battalion. Then the infantry pulled up, and the reconnaissance again went forward. Thus, the Yermolovites almost without loss reached the middle of the village. But losses still could not be avoided, and large ones.
Alexander Voloshin, deputy commander of the 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade, spoke about that battle in the following way: “I lost 12 guys in Orekhovo. It turned out that we took it several times. At first they took it and, as expected, two days later they gave it to the internal troops and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We didn't have time to move further, as they handed it over again. Attack again. We walked in the main direction, to the left and to the right of us - personnel regiments. They went badly. I looked into the eyes of the fighters from these regiments, I told them: "Move, movement is life." Well, how does a boy from Saratov or Voronezh province know why he ended up in this Chechnya! According to today's educational level, he will not find on the geographical map where this Chechnya is. And they sent him there. And my lads came, knowing why. They came for their land, for their native Terek, for the Cossack land. And not to fight in principle, but it just so happened that to fight ... "
After the first ill-fated battle in Grozny, the Cossacks did not retreat even once. At any cost, at any cost, the unit carried out all the assigned tasks. The fame of the Yermolovs spread far beyond North Caucasus. To get to serve in the battalion, people came from all over Russia, and even from beyond its borders. So, among the Yermolovites there was one Bulgarian. In the unit, not all were contract soldiers: some fought without filling out any papers - at their own peril and risk. Among the dead near Orekhovo was a Cossack, who shortly before this battle brought humanitarian aid to fellow countrymen, and remained in the battalion. Soon, the Yermolovites developed their own special fighting style, by which they were recognized by both their own and the enemy.
Vladislav Ivnitsky says: “Kostya Filimonov was buried under Old Achkhoy. Two groups gathered around the fire. Next to the "Ural" with the headlights on. The tape recorder is blaring. Olezhka Kvashkovsky, a boy from St. Petersburg, caught his body and began to dance. Against the backdrop of fire and headlights - at a glance. The sniper immediately woke up and began to peel from the green. The bullets are getting closer to the fire. Nobody even flinched. Olezhka only showed the middle finger towards the forest. The third was poured into mugs. Then another, another, another... The people who stayed with the battalion to the end incredibly coexisted with professionalism (you learn quickly in war), self-esteem and recklessness, as if a fat cross had already been put on your own life.

Last days of the battalion
For about two months, the battalion wandered around Chechnya - from battle to battle: Chervlenaya, Grozny, Achkhoy-Martan, Katyr-Yurt, Old Achkhoy, Orekhovo, Shali, Vedeno, Benoy.
Alexander Voloshin described the last days of the war as follows: “The task was set - to saddle the gorge on Vedeno along the right foothills and control the road. At that time, I had 12-17 people left in the companies. By this time, 27 were killed, 262 were wounded. 130 people broke the contract and left the battalion. When we were replaced by units of the Pskov division, the paratroopers did not believe that we could carry out such a task with so many people. I also had people in the ranks who were deeply over 50. There were units, but there were. It was hard for me to watch them as they climbed the mountains. But they got the job done."
93 Cossacks who fought in the battalion were presented for government awards, 25 of them posthumously.
In the summer of 1996, the Yermolovsky battalion was withdrawn from Chechnya. Rather, its remnants are incomplete one and a half companies. Towards the end, the unit was handed a banner: the original Cossack dark blue color, with the inscription “1st Cossack regiment named after. General Yermolov. This was an undoubted recognition of the merits of the battalion. Then it seemed to many soldiers and officers that a great future awaited them. But about a month later, the 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade was lined up and an order was read out stating that all personnel had been fired. Even yesterday.
Those wishing to remain in the army had to re-pass the medical examination and collect all the required documents. For the vast majority, this proved impossible. Yermolov's battalion ceased to exist.
What were the reasons for disbanding the unit? According to Alexander Voloshin, initially, in agreement with General Kvashnin, the "experimental unit" was created for three months. But since the experiment was recognized as successful, it was decided to reorganize the battalion, since the losses it suffered were great. It was supposed to be reformed by June 1 and sent back to Chechnya. The issue was under the control of the deputy chief of staff of the North Caucasus Military District, Major General Skobelev. But soon, on the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria, he died in a car accident, and there was simply no one to "lobby" the reorganization of the battalion. After that, they tried to forget about the Yermolovites as soon as possible.
Most of the Yermolovites are convinced that the undercover intrigues of the Moscow liberals and the Zavgayevites are to blame for everything. Whether this is so or not, even today, 15 years later, it is difficult to say. But it is obvious that the 694th Motorized Rifle Brigade, whose fighters went into battle to “protect their brothers and their native Terek”, clearly did not fit into the context of the first Chechen war. As you know, in the summer of 1996 the situation in Chechnya took on quite definite trends, logically culminating in Khasavyurt. And in such a situation, the enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteer Cossacks not only could not be claimed, but also posed a certain threat to the peace process.
But be that as it may, Yermolov's battalion completed its short combat path with its head held high. His fighters proved by personal example that even people who are not too well prepared for war are able to solve any problems if they are inspired by a common idea. Unfortunately, this formula also works in reverse. In the context of the current large-scale reform of the Armed Forces, officials responsible for the combat readiness of our army would do well to remember this.

The commander of one of the units of the Vostok battalion has been prosecuted in connection with the events in the Chechen village of Borozdinovskaya, but his name has not yet been disclosed in the interests of the investigation, Maxim Toporikov, military prosecutor of the Joint Group of Forces in the North Caucasus, said on Thursday.

At the same time, Toporikov noted that there is no direct evidence confirming the involvement of servicemen from the Vostok battalion in the abductions or murders of residents of the Chechen village of Borozdinovskaya on June 4 of this year.

"There is currently no direct evidence confirming the abduction or murder of the missing residents of the village by servicemen. At the same time, these versions require additional verification, which is being carried out through the investigation," Toporikov said.

To date, Toporikov said, more than 1,500 people have been interrogated - almost all residents of the village who were participants in the well-known events, as well as employees of the Shelkovsky District Department of Internal Affairs and servicemen of the Vostok battalion.

"Collected witness's testimonies allow us to fairly objectively talk about what happened in the village of Borozdinovskaya in early June,” he said. - It was established that on the night of June 2-3, a group of militants from an illegal armed formation committed a number of grave crimes in this village, including the murder of citizen Akhmadov, the father of one of the servicemen of the Vostok battalion.

“At the same time, one of the units of this military unit was performing a combat mission, carrying out search and ambush activities in the Shelkovsky forest. The servicemen of this unit became aware of the murder of Akhmadov. to the village to search for and detain the murderers of the father of his colleague," the military prosecutor said.

For his part, the commander of this military unit, according to Toporikov, illegally gave the order to conduct searches in private households and to detain relatives and acquaintances of the wanted bandits.

“In the evening of the same day, firearms and grenade launchers were fired in the village, several households were set on fire, a local resident, citizen Magomazov, was killed. In this regard, according to the military prosecutor, forensic investigations of the cartridge cases seized from the scene, as well as fire-explosive and other examinations, have been appointed. In total, more than 50 expert studies are being carried out in various cities of Russia.

In turn, the commander of the Vostok battalion Sulim Yamadayev admitted on Thursday that his fighters entered the village of Borozdinovskaya, but he cannot confirm that they were involved in the murders, arson and kidnapping of 11 local residents. “I was not informed about the unauthorized actions of my soldiers in a timely manner. My subordinates claim that no one was kidnapped or killed, but fires, murder, and other violence are on the conscience of the bandits. I believe in my soldiers,” Yamadayev said in a statement.

According to him, the materials of the internal investigation conducted in the battalion have been transferred to the military prosecutor's office, which is investigating the events in the Chechen village of Borozdinovskaya. "I hope the investigators will objectively sort out what happened," the battalion commander said.

As previously reported, military personnel carried out a military action in Borozdinovskaya on June 4. Chechen battalion "Vostok", which is part of the 42nd division of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and headed by Lieutenant Colonel Sulim Yamadayev. As previously reported, according to one version, the “cleansing” was caused by the fact that the father of one of the soldiers of the Vostok battalion was killed in Borozdinovskaya. The "Vostok" fighters themselves say that they really came to the village, but not for a cleansing operation, but for the funeral of the father of one of the servicemen who was killed by the militants.

The residents of Borozdinovskaya said right away that it was the “Yamadayevites” who were in the village. However, not a single power structure, including the head of the Vostok battalion, Sulim Yamadayev, confirmed this information.

The commander of the "Vostok" swore earlier that his fighters did not clean up Borozdinovskaya. He claims that they are trying to set him up. “I swear by Allah, I have never been to Borozdinovskaya. My brothers were not there either. Terrible things happened there that I can’t imagine. I myself have never killed a single innocent person, much less a Muslim, in my life. Theoretically, we could kill the old man, at most, the one who did it. And there the whole village suffered, "Yamadayev said in an interview with the Chernovik newspaper.

The head of the Regional Operational Headquarters for the management of the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, Colonel-General Arkady Edelev, said in June that federal forces no operation was carried out at all in the village of Borozdinovskaya. The prosecutor's office did not find an order for such a special operation among the documents of the Vostok battalion either.

However, the fact that the “cleansing” in Borozdinovskaya was carried out by the Vostok division of the RF Ministry of Defense is proved by the report of the duty officer dated June 5, 2005. In the document, the duty officer informs the Ministry of Internal Affairs that on June 4, from 15:00 to 20:30, about 80 servicemen of the Vostok special-purpose battalion of the Russian Defense Ministry arrived in the village of Borozdinovskaya in two armored personnel carriers and several cars and trucks (three armored Urals, six - eight "UAZs" and "passenger cars").

From half past four to eight in the evening, the military detained eleven people "suspected of committing crimes." Their full names and surnames are given in the protocol: Aliyev Abakar, Isaev Magomed, Kurbanaliev Ahmed, Kurbanaliev Magomed, Lachkov Eduard(Russian, who came to visit a friend), Magomedov Akhmed, Magomedov Akhmed, Magomedov Kamil, Magomedov Said, Magomedov Shahban, Umarov Martukh.

Here, the operational duty officer of the Shelkovsky district made a note that all the detainees listed "do not appear in the database of the Information Center (Information Center) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic." In other words, the fact of their involvement in gangs at the time of detention was not proved by anything.

The authorities of Chechnya were not ready for the appearance of the document. The Chechen interior ministry "doesn't know anything," Akhmed Dakaev, deputy interior minister of Chechnya, repeated several times.

The commander of the Vostok battalion was the second person to be held accountable for the events in Borozdinovskaya. Earlier, the prosecutor's office of the Shelkovsky district opened a criminal case against the district inspector of Borozdinovskaya senior police lieutenant Khasan Vizhaev .

He is accused of abuse of official position (Article 285 part 3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), which, according to the investigation, was expressed in "a form of inaction." He is accused of the fact that, having learned about the events taking place on June 4 in Borozdinovskaya, he did not go to the scene and promptly did not report the incident to the higher authorities. In this regard, according to the investigation, it became possible to violate the rights of the residents of Borozdinovskaya. The district police officer is also blamed for the fact that, when they began to insult and scold him, he allowed assault on two local residents.

11 residents of Borozdinovskaya disappeared after a special operation was carried out in the village on June 4 and several houses burned down. After the special operation, about a thousand residents of Borozdinovskaya left the village and went to Dagestan, where the Nadezhda camp was set up near the regional center of Kizlyar. By July 1, almost all residents returned to Borozdinovskaya under guarantees from the Chechen authorities to ensure the safety and investigation of the disappearance of 11 fellow villagers.

Meanwhile, on the night from Wednesday to Thursday in the village of Borozdinovskaya (Shelkovskaya district of Chechnya) a police station was fired upon. As a result of the shelling, a policeman was injured and was hospitalized separate battalion District Department of Internal Affairs, but according to doctors, there is no immediate threat to his life.

"At 0:30 in the village of Borozdinovskaya, Shelkovskiy district of Chechnya, unknown people from the side of the destroyed houses fired at the police station. Unknown persons fired from the side of the destroyed houses," the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic told RIA Novosti.

"When examining the place from which the fire was fired, no one was found there. The search for criminals is underway," law enforcement agencies told Interfax and added that a cache of ammunition was found in the area of ​​the refugee camp from the village of Borozdinovskaya, located on the outskirts of Kizlyar.

The cache was located 500 meters from the camp, it contained an anti-tank mine, five shots for a grenade launcher, nine hand grenades, seven TNT blocks with a total weight of 1.6 kg, and 50 meters of fuse. The ammunition was taken to the firing range and destroyed by demolition.
