   In December 1994, heavy fighting was going on on the outskirts of Grozny. Formations of federal troops met fierce resistance from militants and suffered losses on the outskirts of the city. In order to ensure the advancement of the troops, a reconnaissance battalion was assigned to the lead detachment, in which Viktor Ponomarev served. The group was entrusted with an important task - to capture and hold the bridge over the Sunzha River until the approach of the main group of troops. The group held the bridge for about a day. General Lev Rokhlin came to the fighters, but Viktor Ponomarev convinced the general to leave this place and go to cover. The Dudayevites, whose detachment had a significant numerical superiority, went on the attack. Ponomarev realized that it would not be possible to hold the bridge and ordered the group to retreat. And he himself with Sergeant Arabadzhiev remained to cover their withdrawal. The sergeant was wounded, and ensign Ponomarev carried out a wounded comrade under fire. But from a shell that exploded nearby, the commander was seriously injured, but at the same time continued to retreat. When the forces were running out, and the fragments of the shells were literally exploding underfoot, Viktor Ponomarev covered the wounded sergeant Arabadzhiev with his body, thereby saving the soldier's life ... Reinforcements that soon arrived drove the militants out of this area. The movement of the column of Russian military forces to Grozny was secured.

   When the first Chechen war began, everything turned out so that the combat capability of our army was at a relatively low level; combat forces were collected and sent from all over the country to be sent to the North Caucasus. And already on the spot they organized joint units, where, for obvious reasons, there was often no coordinated and clear interaction between commanders and personal staff. Add here not the newest equipment and, most importantly, heavy political, economic situation in the country in crucial moment stories. And it was then that our people, however, as always, showed courage and heroism. The exploits of soldiers in Chechnya are striking in terms of the level of concentration of forces and courage.

   In January 1995, tankers under the command of senior lieutenant Akhpashev covered motorized rifle units and knocked out militants from fortifications in a city battle in Grozny. The key position of the militants was the building of the Council of Ministers of Chechnya. Igor Akhpashev, using fire and tactical actions, broke through to the building on his tank, destroyed the main firing points of the militants, and provided the way for the landing group and motorized riflemen. But with a shot from a grenade launcher, the militants stopped the course of the combat vehicle, the Dudaevites surrounded the tank. Akhpashev continued the fight in a burning tank and died like a hero - the ammunition detonated.

   For the courage and heroism shown during the performance of the special task, Guards Senior Lieutenant Igor Vladimirovich Akhpashev was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation, posthumously.

   Maidanov Nikolai (Kairgeldy) Sainovich, 1956-2000

   Senior pilot, commander of a transport and combat helicopter regiment. Born in Western Kazakhstan, in a large family. Before the army, he worked at an elevator, at a brick factory. After completing military service, he entered the Higher Aviation School in Saratov. Nikolai Maidanov took part in the fighting in Afghanistan in the eighties. There, in Afghanistan, the young pilot Maidanov began to use special tactics for taking off helicopters.

   The fact is, Mi-8 helicopters high in the mountains had problems with control during takeoff. Maidanov used an "aircraft" accelerating technique for a helicopter, and, as it were, riskily threw the flying machine down. This gave the result: in a quick “fall”, the helicopter propeller spun and made it possible for the car to pick up speed and take off. This tactic saved the lives of many soldiers. They said that if Maidanov pilots the helicopter, everyone will remain alive.

   After the Afghan war, Nikolai Maidanov continued his studies and graduated air force academy named after Yu.A. Gagarin. In 1999-2000, he took part in the fighting in the North Caucasus as a commander of a helicopter regiment.
   In January 2000, the helicopter of the regiment commander Maidanov, as part of the link, conducted reconnaissance of the area and the landing of paratroopers on one of the heights. Suddenly, heavy machine guns opened fire on the helicopters. Experienced helicopter pilots led by Colonel Maidanov took their combat vehicles out of the shelling, saved the lives of the paratroopers and the helicopters themselves. But one of the bullets, breaking through the glass of the cockpit of the commander's helicopter, turned out to be fatal for Nikolai Maidanov.
   Nikolai Sainovich Maidanov in 2000 received the title of Hero of Russia posthumously. The Hero was buried at the Serafimovsky cemetery in the city of St. Petersburg. On the building of the flight school in Saratov, on the house in the village of Monino in the Moscow region and on the house in the village of Agalatovo (where the Hero lived), commemorative plaques were installed.

Each of them, in a certain situation, when duty, honor, friendship, love for the Motherland were at stake, did not get scared and did not hide. For me, all of them, first of all, are men capable of action, strong and courageous, able to protect their mothers, children, their land. It is either there or not.

Two days later, the hour "H" came for us. Prepared weapons, equipment, received a "back" (ammunition). The commanders were given maps - old ones, of course, but in principle quite detailed. Tellingly, before bringing our battalion into battle, General Rokhlin assigned tasks personally to each company commander.

We moved into the city. The impression, to be sure, is stunning. Stalingrad in the pictures in books about the Great Patriotic War is one thing. But when you see such a picture of the ruined city with your own eyes, it becomes gloomy. Burnt panel houses, the remains of broken equipment, corpses everywhere.

We had no particular illusions about our future. The fact is that the principle of war in the city provides for a phased advancement. First comes the first company, it takes control of the first quarter, then the second one passes through its battle formations, it takes control, for example, of the next quarter. And the third one ends up in the very depths of the enemy defense, face to face with the enemy.

First fight. I remember him to the smallest detail. The smallest little things. My platoon was to take the L-shaped two-story house near the stadium. There, on the one hand, there was a road junction, on the other, a vast private sector. The House dominated the area, a certain number of militants settled in it on the second floor. I divided the platoon into three groups - fire, capture and reserve. Here I was a little confused - where, in which group should I, as a commander, be? At the military school, they clearly explained to us: the commander is obliged to lead the battle, and not participate directly in it. The commander must have binoculars, a map and a pistol with one cartridge in order to shoot himself (just kidding, of course). But when it came to the real deal, it wasn't that easy. That's right, I have to lead the fight. However, if I'm sending people to their deaths, can I stay away? And how will my subordinates look at me then? Fortunately, I had very intelligent sergeants. The capture group was led by my deputy platoon commander - Sergeant Ivan Antufiev.

The fight was extremely tense. The militants "sneaked" very tightly. Under this fire, ours had to cross the road. They began to act like this - the fire group suppresses enemy fire, at this time one or two fighters of the capture group cross the road. We hit the windows and breaches with all the trunks, literally - heavy fire. No matter where, the main thing is that the enemy could not stick his head out. Meanwhile, my guys from the capture group moved to the other side of the road.

My sailors managed to break into the second floor. The house was on fire by that time, and the fighters found themselves between the fire and the fighters. It's like between a hammer and an anvil... Bullets are flying on one side, and fire is on the other!

I will never forget the picture - fighters in burning jackets jump out of the windows of the second floor into the snow, put out the fire on themselves, and then rush into battle again !!!

The frenzy in that battle reached its extreme - the shooting was carried out from a distance of seven meters, almost point-blank. Chechens on one side of the building, ours on the other. It was necessary to do something urgently, as the enemy held on stubbornly. We figured out how to resolve the situation. The sappers dragged several powerful KZ-4 shaped charges through the neighboring entrance. They overlaid the passage from below, connecting both parts of the building, and blew it up. This ended the battle - some of the militants managed to escape, some fell down. On the ruins on the surface, the bodies of three were found, and even lower, under the ruins, who knows how many of them were there?

Then I noted with joy for myself that my first fight ended without loss. For any commander the main idea- do not lose people! But in other platoons there were losses. Our battalion then went through almost all the "sights" of Grozny: the Main Post Office, the Puppet Theater, the building of the Council of Ministers. The second company, commanded by Captain Shulyak, had a particularly hard time. She took the Council of Ministers, the Dudaevites clung to this building with all their might. Needless to say - there was just a meat grinder.

TO DUDAYEV'S PALACE WE WENT BY ACCIDENTAL...

And besides the Council of Ministers, there were enough losses. Sometimes it's just stupid. One of the nights, our company advanced along the street to the next captured object. Suddenly, the column stood up - either they got lost, or something else. The sergeants (fortunately, mine were not there) gathered to confer. This must have been noticed by the enemy spotter. Be that as it may, an enemy mortar shell landed just where the sergeants were conferring. The explosion killed someone, wounded someone, But this could have been avoided.

Although, in a war, you never know how things will turn out. The case here is everything. For example, our unit took Dudayev's palace, on the one hand, quite by accident! Although, on the other hand, not quite ... To make everything clear, I'll tell you in order.

From the very beginning, a fierce struggle unfolded for the Dudayev Palace. The area in front of him was all littered with corpses, the remains of equipment, nearby - several tanks dug into the ground, rows of trenches, barricades. The huge building was all mutilated by the fire of our artillery, but it was expected that the same serious struggle would unfold for the palace as for the building of the Council of Ministers.

When our battalion made its way to the center of Grozny, battalion commander Colonel Boris Sokushev appointed me commander of the reconnaissance group. There are eleven people with me. Our task was to go to the dilapidated building of the hotel "Kavkaz" and "drag" our company behind us. That is, if no enemy was found in the "Kavkaz", a company was supposed to go there, and from there to start an attack on the palace.

By that time, many units had come to the center, so before leaving it turned out that we were not the only ones: similar reconnaissance groups from airborne paratroopers and motorized riflemen were also supposed to go to the Kavkaz.

They "pulled out" their units. All three units were supposed to go to the Kavkaz along a common route, and then disperse to different sides, each to its own border.

After midnight we moved on. Walking around the city of Grozny at night, along the neutral zone, among the destroyed houses is not an occupation for the faint of heart. Illuminating rockets are constantly taking off, hundreds of tracers are flying in the air. Any careless movement, any noise, and so much will fly over your soul that it will not seem enough. I had to move literally by touch, pressing into the remains of the walls, sometimes running, sometimes crawling. It costs nothing to lose orientation in such an environment and wander towards the enemy.

Finally, they came to the building, which, as they believed, was the desired "Caucasus". Only this turned out not to be the case: the hotel looked like brick, but here it was all reinforced concrete. Where are we then? The three of us gathered - the commanders of the paratroopers, motorized riflemen and myself. They covered themselves with a cape, illuminated the map with a flashlight, began to hold advice - where are we? Then one of the fighters crawls up to us and says:

Looks like "Caucasus" on the left.

Then another lighting rocket took off nearby, and for sure - in its light we see that the Kavkaz is on the left, behind the square. And we are right under the walls of the palace! It turns out that our groups managed to get to him without meeting any resistance. Similarly, larger units can pass through here. On the clock - three nights, there is still time before dawn. They contacted the headquarters and reported about their "discovery". From there they gave the command - reconnaissance groups of paratroopers and motorized riflemen to return to their original position. I, along with my scouts, were ordered to “follow” to the building adjacent to the square, in which the airborne assault battalion of the Marine Corps, the same as ours, only from the Baltic, was holding the defense. We were about to move, but then it turned out that there was no radio communication with the Baltic battalion. They cannot be warned about our approach. The Baltics are on the defensive. Snipers are constantly firing at them from the darkness, they are constantly waiting for an attack. And here we are. What will they do?.. It's a shame if they kill their own - the marines.

Once again, the Russian mate came to the rescue. When my reconnaissance group approached the Baltics, at first we “shouted” with them. The conversation went something like this:

Baltic! E..!!! Do not shoot!

And who are you, b...?!

We are from Sputnik, nah ..!!!

While they were yelling, we agreed that one of us would come out to them. Like in the movies - alone and without weapons. I became one of us. I was well aware that at that moment more than a dozen guns were aimed at me, and each step could become the final one in my short biography. But it worked out. One of the Baltic officers came out to meet me. We talked, I explained the situation. My scouts were allowed to pass.

"SPUTNIK", MARINES-95"

The Baltics gave us compote to drink. At the same time, enemy snipers, who had settled in the ruins of buildings that surrounded the palace square, were constantly hitting the building. While drinking compote, one of the Baltic sailors was killed by a sniper. Right next to us. The bullet hit right in the head. But by that time we had already seen enough of everything. The brain ceased to fix what was happening as a tragedy. He only noted everything that was happening and forced the body to act at the level of instincts. Get down! crawl away! Hide!

Meanwhile, the troops around the palace began to move. Everything around stirred. In the Baltics, we moved towards the palace. Secretly approached the wall of the building. There is no movement inside. The first to enter was Colonel Chernov with four fighters. I followed him with my group.

Inside, right at the entrance, we stumbled upon the tail of an exploding rocket. The enemy was nowhere to be seen, only up to a dozen corpses were lying on the floor. They searched the whole building - no one. Apparently, the militants left through the underground passages, which abounded in the building of the palace.

It was necessary to indicate that we had captured the building. I sent Sergeant Major Gennady Azarychev for the flag. At that moment, it began to lighten up, and snipers became more active. Despite their shooting, the foreman ran across to the Baltics, and soon returned with the St. Andrew's flag. They wanted to raise it above the roof, but the flights of stairs were destroyed by artillery fire at the level of the sixth floor. I had to hang a flag through the window.

I then wanted to leave something of my own in the palace I had taken. I pulled off my vest and hung it on the armature sticking out above the main entrance of the palace - there were huge doorways. This vest had its own history - my father fought in it back in Afghanistan. Now it fluttered in Grozny, over the former residence of Dudayev. Nearby, the guys and I scrawled the inscription: "Satellite". Marine Corps-95".

At that moment, for some reason, it seemed that everything was the end of the war. But it was a deceiving feeling. Everything was just beginning...

THEY WERE PREPARED BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR BUSINESS...

For the next two days, our company was in the Kavkaz Hotel. Under it, too, there were many underground passages. Suddenly, militants began to appear from there. Such a figure will crawl out of the hole, fire a couple of times back and forth, and - rather back. When our sappers blew up the underground passages, the attacks stopped.

After the capture of the palace, the fighting continued with increasing force. Day after day, we moved forward, clearing the enemy of the enemy from a huge collection of ruined ruins. Our task was the same - to always be ahead. We storm the building, hand it over to the Internal Troops or motorized riflemen, and move on. And so day after day.

There were also pleasant moments. For example, a bath. Every week we were taken to Severny, where our base was located. There they washed, received a brand new, unworn uniform. I must say that the command of the fleet took care of us better than ever. Compared to the rest of the troops, we lived quite freely. Once every two weeks the commander Northern Fleet I brought my own plane, stuffed with everything necessary, to Severny. We had the best food - up to red fish every day, the best supply of ammunition and weapons. If you want "hills" - get it, if you want new sniper rifles - please. Just fight like Marines should! We fought - as expected.

Day by day it became more difficult to act. Now we and the enemy have studied each other's tactics quite well. The Chechens were dominated by the classic guerrilla tactics - a swoop-withdrawal. They acted in small groups of three to five people. Part of the group carried out demonstrative actions, lured our fighters into fire traps. They jumped out, fired randomly and quickly retreated. The main thing was to make more noise. The fire was usually not aimed. Many militants fired from machine guns with stocks removed or from makeshift Borz submachine guns. If ours started the pursuit, they came under fire from snipers or machine guns.

It should be rightly noted that the enemy had very good preparation. It was felt that it was prepared by very professional military men who knew their job well. For example, we encountered the fact that many militants wore Soviet-style soldier's overcoats. The fact is that those overcoats had a special impregnation that made them invisible at night in night vision devices. Russian-style overcoats did not have such impregnation. It means that someone knew and took into account, and this "someone" was very competent. Our strength was the technical advantage. This was especially true in night battles. Therefore, we tried to impose night combat operations on the enemy.

SHARE A SECOND

Sometimes the war brought very unpleasant surprises. One day I was at the checkpoint of my platoon. It's already dusk. Senior Lieutenant Zhenya Chubrikov, the commander of a neighboring platoon, and I stood under the cover of a reinforced concrete fence and talked about something. Suddenly, five jump over the fence and run towards us. On all "Afghans", and in the hands of machine guns. Who are they?! Each has a white band on the left sleeve. Despite the twilight, I was able to see that the features of the liya of the unexpected guests were clearly Caucasian.

What are you doing here? We answer;

We are standing here.

Where are the feds?

There are moments in life when the count goes not for seconds, but for their few fractions. Who is faster as in lousy American film about cowboys.

This time we were faster. Zhenya threw up his machine gun and from three meters in one burst he put down three. The two survivors rushed to the fence. But from the checkpoint they managed to see what was happening. Someone from a machine gun put a portion of lead into the fleeing. What can I say - at that time we were very lucky and they were very unlucky.
