And the Caucasian Linear Battalion No. 11, with the addition of some people from the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the Modlin Infantry Regiment, which were abolished at the same time. These units arrived with their banners and formed 5 battalions of 4-company composition. The 3rd battalion of the Volynsky regiment brought with it the St. George's silver trumpet with the inscription: "For distinction in the defeat and expulsion of the enemy from Russia in 1812 and in the battles of Brienne-le-Chateau and the village of La Rotier", granted on April 5 1815 to the 49th Jaeger Regiment, which in 1833 was attached to the Volyn and Minsk infantry regiments. Colonel N. I. Evdokimov (later count, adjutant general and regiment chief) was appointed the first commander of the Dagestan regiment. After the regiment was formed, it had to build its headquarters in Northern Dagestan, on the site of the destroyed village of Ishkarta, 14 versts from the fortress of Temir-Khan-Shura (completed in October 1847).

From the first days of its existence, the Dagestan regiment took part in the Caucasian War. In 1846, some parts of the regiment took part in skirmishes and skirmishes that took place near Ishkarta. On June 4, 1847, the 1st and 2nd battalions participated in the unsuccessful assault on Gergebil. From July 26 to September 14, these same battalions, reinforced at the end of August by the 3rd battalion, were under siege and assault on the village of Salta, and the first two of them were awarded banners with the inscription "For the capture of Salta" for their differences. Over the next 10 years, the Dagestan regiment had to wage a small war with the highlanders. Every year, in the spring, 2 or 3 battalions were assigned to separate detachments, which were sent deep into the recalcitrant country; the remaining battalions carried guard duty on the line. At the beginning of 1857, the 5th rifle company was formed with each battalion. In the summer of 1857, a special detachment was sent to Salatavia, which included 4 battalions of the Dagestan regiment. On July 14, a detachment laid a fortification at the foothills of the Salatavsky Range, on the site of the devastated village of Burtunai, which was appointed the headquarters of the Dagestan regiment. The whole following year, the Dagestanis spent in the construction of fortifications and the construction of new barracks. July 16 and 17, 1859, when the Dagestan detachment crossed the river. Andean Koisu, the 2nd battalion showed heroic prowess and was the first to set foot on the enemy shore. Private Sergei Kochetov and Junker Speer swam across a stormy mountain river under fire and dragged a rope to the other side with the help of twine. Then a rope bridge was built, over which the 2nd battalion crossed with incredible difficulty. On August 25, the 2nd battalion and rifle companies took part in the capture of Gunib. For the crossing on July 17, 1859, the 2nd battalion was awarded the St. George banner with the inscription: "For distinction in crossing the Andiyskoe Koisu near the village of Sogrytlo." In addition, on August 4, 1860, the entire regiment was awarded insignia on hats with the inscription: "For distinction in the Caucasus from 1846 to 1859."

On October 21, 1869, the 2nd battalion, assigned to Stoletov's Krasnovodsk detachment, arrived in Petrovsk and was transported on steamboats across the Caspian Sea. Having landed in the Muravyova Bay of the Krasnovodsk Bay, the battalion built a fortification on the shore, which served as the beginning of the city of Krasnovodsk. The 2nd battalion stayed in Krasnovodsk until 1875 and was replaced by the 3rd battalion. This battalion served to protect the Russian-Persian border and participated in the most difficult expeditions of General Lomakin against the Turkmen-Teke in 1877 and 1878, and especially in the unsuccessful campaign in Akhal-Teke in 1879.

On October 13, 1870, after the death of Count Evdokimov, he was appointed chief of the regiment Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich. On August 1, 1874, the 4th battalion was assigned to form the 164th infantry Zakatalsky regiment, and the 4th battalion was formed from the rifle companies of the entire regiment.

At the beginning of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. The 1st, 2nd and 4th battalions were mobilized and took part in the suppression of the uprising in Chechnya and Dagestan. The 1st and 4th battalions especially distinguished themselves on October 17, during the assault on the village of Tsudahar, and on November 2, during the capture of the village of Sogrytlo. On January 6, 1879, two St. George's trumpets with the inscription: "For distinction during the suppression of the uprising in Dagestan in 1877" were awarded to the regiment for the distinctions rendered; in addition, the 4th battalion was awarded the St. George banner with the inscription: “For dealings with the rebels in 1877 on October 19 at Tsudahara and on November 2 at the village. Warmed up."

In 1880, the 1st and 4th battalions took part in the Akhal-Teke expedition of General Skobelev and on January 12, 1881, took part in the assault on Geok-Tepe; for the distinction shown, the 1st battalion was awarded badges on hats with the inscription: "For the capture of the Geok-Tepe fortress by storm on January 12, 1881."

NEBIT-DAG

For all five years of service in the 58th division in the town of Nebit-Dag, I happened to visit only three times. There stood a framed motorized rifle regiment, so there was no need to visit here often. In any case, a journalist.

Nebit-Dag means Oil Mountain. The town really stood at the foot of the small mountain system Bolshoi Balkhan. By the way, for this reason now it is called Balkanabat. Moreover, it was located on the side turned to the side quite close (a hundred kilometers, or even less) from the Caspian Sea, while the same mountain protected the town from knowing the Kara-Kum. Nebit-Dag was a very young settlement, and it was built in the style modern city– with straight streets, modern houses, squares, parks…

I don’t remember if I wrote about this, but it was believed that the Krasnovodsk region is the most urbanized in the territory Soviet Union, i.e. the highest percentage of the urban population lived on its territory. Is this so, I will not vouch: for what, as they say, I bought, for that I sell. Another thing is WHAT kind of cities they were - I have already told about some of them, and the rest are about the same. But Nebit-Dag was a true example of a modern city.

I have already said above that I visited Nebit-Dag only three times. But this is only in the military unit itself! I have only visited the city once. So I can't say enough about him. I remember my impressions of clean, dust-free greenery, of the park, of the Ferris wheel on which we rode ... From that Ferris wheel, a contrast opened up: the greenery of the city, the grayness of the mountain hanging over the city from the north, and the approaching semi-desert from the south ...

For some reason, Nebit-Dag reminded me of Ashgabat in miniature.

I also remember that there was a beautiful monument to geologists who were looking for oil: a camel and three people who are making their way through a sandstorm.

Thirty years have passed since then, and little is remembered. The most important impression is the perception of something incredibly festive surrounded by the desert. Oasis or something...

I can agree that my subjective impression could be misleading. I had little chance to communicate with the officers of the Nebitdag regiment. And then there were often earthquakes. Not strong, but still... powerful earthquake happened in 1984 or 85. But it turned out to be relatively harmless: its epicenter was between Kazandzhik and Nebit-Dag, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe settlement of Kum-dag (Sandy Mountain), so these cities, if any, were slightly affected.

And one more vague memory connected with this regiment. Somehow we worked out the task of repelling the attack of a mock enemy from the south. So, this regiment acted together with the ships of the Caspian flotilla. And one officer of the regiment told me that at the end of the exercise, the commander of the landing craft ordered his assistant: come on, pour us from the compass (in the sea, emphasizing "a") for the success of the task.

By the way, the film "Kin-dza-dza" was filmed in the vicinity of Nebit-Dag. So what kind of nature approached the oasis I described can be judged by this tape.

Two captains

I performed a sacred duty and gave an honorable duty to the Motherland (as military service was then called) in the 364th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the 16th Chisinau-Yasi Order of Suvorov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky guards division Air defense in sand dune Turkmenistan. And met there two unusual friends-rivals.

The second squadron was commanded by Captain Zverev, the third by Captain Dugaev (one Russian, the other Chechen).

Captain Dugaev was not tall, but thick-set like a bear. His broad, well-featured face, black eyes and curly hair made the civilian girls and wives of the garrison officers tremble. Zverev, on the contrary, was tall, blond, with a straight nose, cheerful and talkative. The officers seemed to be friends. But there was a spirit of irreconcilable rivalry between them.

No, the captains did not share lovers: the boundless faded blue Turkmen sky was the field of their rivalry. In the unattainable heights, on their supersonic fighter-interceptors, they twisted such feints and somersaults that circus acrobats never dreamed of. Both pilots had, as the song says, "one, but a fiery passion", they dreamed of becoming pilots since childhood. And, of course, the best, if not in the whole wide world, then at least in his regiment. And in order to be the best, it is necessary that the squadrons under their command demonstrate the highest class on flights. And now it's time for combat shooting.

Let me briefly explain what it looks like. From the airfield, for example, Mary, a "blank" (unmanned aircraft) takes off and flies along the route to the Kara-Bogaz-Gol Bay (there was once such a one in the Caspian - it dried up). From a combat mission control point hidden deep in the mountains, navigators use sophisticated radar to lead interceptors to targets one by one. And they fire air-to-air missiles). Combat missiles explode, reaching the target, knocking down the enemy with a swarm of fragments (sort of like buckshot from a double-barreled shotgun). So the flight of the "blank" 50 meters from the target was not considered a miss, but was taken into account.

On that day, the pilots of Dugaev's squadron "smeared". And then Zverev's plane approached the target. And as if mocking his opponent, he slammed his rocket almost into the nozzle of a jet target. In the language of school grades, it was not just "five", but "five to the fifth power." Well, the goal, of course, with an ax and collapsed into the Karakum sands.

An observer from the district headquarters announced to the pilot gratitude on behalf of the commander. Dugaev greeted Zverev through gritted teeth for several days.

And then an incident occurred that almost ended tragically for Zverev. There were regular daytime flights, which were led from the ground by the commander of the regiment Sokolov. About a dozen fighters "hung" in the air at different distances from the airfield. A "lightning" came from the district headquarters via special communications: "Sokolov! Urgently put all your people on concrete! A powerful squall of snow is on the way."

The commander duplicated the command on the air, and fighters began to land one after another on the runway. Only Captain Zverev, who practiced aerobatics in the area farthest from the airfield, obviously did not have time to return to his native concrete road before the squall approached. The lantern of his plane (the glass part of the cockpit) was covered with snow tightly, leaving not a single crack for review.

Specialists of the navigation service, with special care, brought his aircraft to the landing glide path on instruments: And then, brother, act on your own! No one else can help you: a meter to the right of the strip, a meter to the left - certain death, especially since Zverev no longer had fuel for the second round.

Commander, how am I going? Zverev asked the flight director rather calmly.

600 meters to the strip. Dive, damn you, - Sokolov croaked into the microphone.

Life at the airfield froze for a long ten seconds, until a fighter emerged from the snow whirlwind. And, gently touching the wheels of the chassis of the concrete, he released a braking parachute. The captain opened the lantern. A crooked smile appeared on his white, bloodless face.

A day later, preparing his squadron for the next flight, Zverev looked into the air traffic control room, where I served.

Comrade Captain, they say you work miracles in the air? I asked him.

And you would have been pinned down, and you would have created, - Zverev laughed in response:

Having retired to the reserve, I sailed across the Caspian Sea from Krasnovodsk to Baku. On a huge ferry, I accidentally met Captain Zverev. He was heading to the center for retraining for a new generation of fighters, and then somewhere north to the post of deputy regiment commander.

We talked, remembering giant Turkmen camels, and two-meter-long monitor lizards, and scorpions, and deadly karakurts.

Zverev turned out to be a romantic and a book reader. His idol writer was the French military pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who died in 1944 over the Mediterranean - the author of the wonderful novels Mail to the South, Planet of the People, Night Flight and the charming fairy tale The Little Prince.

I decided to become a pilot when I read Saint-Ex, added the captain. It's a pity you didn't read it in time. And then, maybe, now they would fly in one regiment:

I repeat, I accidentally met Zverev on the ferry, but I didn’t see Dugaev after he retired. But I want to believe (yes, what is there to believe, I am convinced!), that if Dugaev lived (not everyone gets a long life as a pilot) before the serious Russian-Chechen crisis, then he did not raise weapons against people in the uniform that he wore all the best years of his life years of service as a fighter pilot in our air force."

Thus ended the material published in one of the small newspapers of Stavropol. Imagine my surprise when the manager of the company where I work put a letter from Grozny on my desk. Sent a reply and received another letter with photographs.

Here are the main parts of the letters.

“The wife of retired colonel M. Kh. Dugaev is writing to you. My name is Sonya. It was very nice to read your article. USSR", "Honored Specialist of the Armed Forces of the USSR". You were not mistaken in Dugaev, he is still a fan in love with the sky. In his room, an aviation flag hangs on the wall among photographs of aircraft. I have been with him all these years and I am proud that I have such a husband. He swore Soviet army and he would never, ever raise a hand either against the army or against his own people, who were dragged into the bloody slaughter by mafia clans both in Chechnya and abroad.

At the beginning of the first war, we left the republic. Roamed all over the country. In 2002, they returned, but remained out of work - without work and without a roof over their heads. And we both (I went through Afghan) gave their whole lives to the Motherland. And we have no other Motherland except Russia. Even though she doesn't need us anymore. It's a shame, as they say, for the state, but there's nothing to be done."

Colonel Dugaev:

"Vladimir, hello. It was nice to know that after so many years you still have our Nebit-Dag in your memory, memories of me and Sasha Zverev. In 1981 I graduated air force academy. By the way, Sasha Zverev graduated two years later.

After the academy, I became a deputy regiment commander in the Murmansk region. Then he commanded a fighter regiment in Monchegorsk. In the early 80s, the regiment retrained for a new military equipment- MiG-31, which at that time was an aircraft with incomprehensible combat capabilities. And the military tests of this machine were entrusted to my regiment. The work was extremely interesting. These are distant lines of interception over the waters of the Arctic Ocean, and landings on ice airfields in the ocean.

We have put into practice completely new tactical methods of air combat (so far nothing new has been invented in this regard). Many pilots of the regiment were awarded military orders. But the most important thing is that not a single pilot died, although aircraft failures did occur.

In 1986, I was appointed deputy air defense corps commander for aviation in Perm, and in 1988, already in Sverdlovsk, I was appointed deputy aviation commander of a separate air defense army. Two years later, he was transferred to the post of head of the center for combat training and combat use in Krasnovodsk. There was also interesting work there, we trained flight and technical personnel from the countries of the Middle East - Algeria, Syria, Libya, Lebanon.

The center owned the training ground, where, in my youth as a lieutenant, for the first time in my life, I performed combat launches of missiles and firing at ground targets. Then I could not even think that I would command this center.

And then the collapse of the country and, accordingly, the armed forces began. I was retired. Dudayev's coming to power in Chechnya and the "fifth count" did not allow me to continue my service. He arrived in Grozny, where he met his fate in the person of his wife Sonya. She and I are somewhere equally romantic, equally looking for the truth, equally honestly working for the good of that great country that the Gorbachevs, Dudayevs, Yeltsins took from us - God be their judge, and history will judge.

It seems to me that everything could have been done differently - without bloodshed, peacefully transition to a democratic state without shock therapy.

Here is such a fate. And not only my oath, but also my conscience and upbringing would not allow me to kill my own.

I often saw Zverev and other guys from Nebit-Dag, corresponded, and until 2002 I knew who, where and how. I visit Stavropol, I will definitely come in, there is something to tell about life and friends. All the best. Sincerely, Magomed Khamdievich Dugaev.

Here is such a fate.
