Location of events
Colonel Sergei Kondratenko recalls what the marines of the Pacific Fleet faced in Chechnya in 1995I think I won’t be mistaken if I classify Colonel Kondratenko (we have known him for more than a year) as the type of Russian officer-intellectual that we know from Lermontov and Tolstoy, Arsenyev and Gumilyov. From January to May 1995, Kondratenko was in Chechnya with the 165th Marine Regiment of the Pacific Fleet and kept a diary there, recording by the day, and sometimes by the minute, what was happening around. I hope someday these notes will be published, although Sergei Konstantinovich himself believes that the time has not yet come to speak aloud about everything.
On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the start of the war in Chechnya, Sergei Kondratenko and my colleague, editor-in-chief of Novaya v Vladivostok, Andrey Ostrovsky, have already published the fourth edition of the Primorsky Territory Memory Book, which lists all Primorye residents who died in the North Caucasus over the years (and those called up from Primorye) . New names were entered into each reprint, each time hoping that these additions were the last.
The conversation, the reason for which was this non-holiday anniversary, I will preface brief reference. Sergei Kondratenko was born in 1950 in Khabarovsk, graduated from the Far Eastern Higher School of Education in Blagoveshchensk. From 1972 to 2001, he served in a division (now a brigade) of the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet, having retired from the post of deputy division commander. Later he led the regional search and rescue service, headed the organization of veterans of local wars "Contingent", now he is the chairman of the council of veterans of Vladivostok. Awarded with orders Courage and "For Military Merit".
The Pacific in the Caucasus: "Everything was learned on the spot"
Sergei Konstantinovich, all your life you have been studying and teaching others to fight, and with an external enemy. Remember, they told me how, as a cadet of the Far Eastern Military District in March 1969, during the battles on Damansky, you occupied positions in Blagoveshchensk on the Amur embankment ... Then it worked out. And the marines were not sent to Afghanistan. You had to fight only a quarter of a century later - already a mature man, a colonel. Moreover, the war broke out on the territory of our own country ...
Yes, many of us in the marines wrote reports, asked to be sent to Afghanistan, but we were told: you have your own combat mission. But, by the way, then our landing groups were constantly on ships in the Persian Gulf ...
June 1995 Sergei Kondratenko after returning from Chechnya
When we arrived in Chechnya, saw the destroyed Grozny, talked to civilians, we realized that there really was a genocide of the Russian population. Not only Russians spoke about this, but also the Chechens themselves, especially the old people, and we ourselves saw it all. True, some said that we should not have interfered - they themselves, they say, would have figured it out. I don't know... Another thing is that the decision to send troops was hasty, that's 100 percent.
As the division's deputy commander, I was appointed chief of the division's task force. This group is created for the convenience of control when the regiment operates at a distance from the division. Its commander was in charge of the regiment itself, and I was the first to “jump out” to the rear area, to Grozny, agreed with the Baltic Marines to transfer the tent camp to us ... During the hostilities, I ensured interaction between the “regiment - grouping”. Then he took over the exchange of prisoners, the collection of weapons from the population. I traveled through departments. If some kind of emergency, skirmish, death, always jumped out, sorted it out on the spot. On February 18, I received a barotrauma - that day four of our comrades died in battle ... In general, I did not sit idle.
- When did you find out that you were going to fly to the Caucasus?
The fighting in Chechnya began on December 11, 1994, and on December 22, I came back from vacation and found out that a directive had come: to complete the 165th regiment to wartime states and conduct combat coordination - we have such an expression, the computer emphasizes this word. It was clear that they were preparing for Chechnya, but then I thought: just in case, the reserve is not the first echelon ... They began to give us people from ships and parts of the fleet. Of these, 50 percent were eliminated, if not more. Firstly, this is an old army tradition: they always give the very “best”. Secondly, they did not take anyone who said: "I will not go." Or if there are health problems.
At the Bamburovo and Clerk training grounds, we managed to carry out almost everything that was supposed to be done: shooting, driving ... On January 10, when it became clear that the New Year's assault on Grozny had failed, we were given the command to go to Chechnya.
- Shooting, driving - it's clear, but was the preparation of another plan? Let's say cultural?
This just did not happen, and this is a huge omission. Everything had to be found out on the spot. I loved history, but I still did not know much when I went to the first negotiations with the Chechens. At a meeting with the inhabitants of Belgatoy, an old man comes out and hugs me. I was confused at first. And then it was like that all the time - hugging a man who could kill me in half an hour. It is so customary there - the elder hugs the elder.
- What were the “black berets” not ready for?
You know, the general impression is this: we were taught one thing, but there everything was different. We did not expect much, starting with the mud and mess and ending with the use of units. Learned on the go.
- Among you were combatants?
The commander of the 165th regiment, Colonel Alexander Fedorov, commanded a motorized rifle battalion in Afghanistan and applied this combat experience. In general, our percentage of losses was the lowest. Including because we were understaffed mainly at the expense of our own. I knew all the officers of the regiment from company commanders and above, many platoon officers. Few of the officers were outside. We were given people from ships and parts of the fleet, but the Marines were still the basis.
In general, the marines were well prepared. Approximately a third of our dead are non-combat losses, but in the same 245th regiment (245th Guards motorized rifle regiment Moscow military district, replenished by the Far East. - Ed.) non-combat losses were more than half. "Friendly fire" has been and will be in all wars, but much depends on the organization. In the same Book of Memory, we did not always write exactly how a person died. You can’t tell his parents that, for example, he took drugs ... And there all the vices of a citizen crawl out. In general, in war the threshold of legality is lowered. A man walks with a machine gun, his finger is on the trigger, if he doesn’t shoot first, they will shoot at him ...
- Did the Marines have any special tasks?
No, they were used as regular infantry. True, when we "forced" Sunzha, our PTS participated there - a floating conveyor. We joked: the marines are used for their combat mission!
First fight: “I could have died three times that day”
- Could you imagine then how long all this will drag on, what will result in?
On January 19, when Dudayev's palace was taken, Yeltsin announced that the military stage of restoring the operation of the Russian Constitution in Chechnya had been completed. Just in time for this date, our regiment concentrated in the rear area not far from Grozny. After reading the newspaper "Krasnaya Zvezda" of January 21, in which this statement of the President was published, I thought: fir-trees-sticks, what the hell were we being dragged from Far East?.. And on the night of January 21-22, the second battalion of the 165th regiment was brought into battle, and already
On January 22, Senior Lieutenant Maxim Rusakov died.
- The first loss of the marines of the Pacific Fleet ...
When this battle began (the battalion fought, the sailor was wounded), I immediately "jumped" into place. Not only because of the wounded: our communication was lost, interaction was lost, panic began - all this is called the first battle ... I took with me an engineer, a medic, a signalman, spare batteries for the radio station, and ammunition. We went to the carbide plant, where the units of the second battalion were located. This is Khabarovskaya street - my "native" street. And I almost flew in there - I could have died three times on this first exit. We were given a ten-page card, but we didn’t work with such cards, and I couldn’t “get it” into it. We walked on two armored personnel carriers along Khabarovsk, jumped out to the bridge over the Sunzha, but the bridge was not visible - it was blown up, and it caved in, sank. The spirits placed blocks in front of the bridge. I look through the triplex - nothing is clear, black figures are rushing about with weapons, obviously not our sailors ... We stopped and stood there for a minute or two. If they had a grenade launcher - write wasted. I look around - on the left there is some enterprise, on the pipe - a sickle and a hammer. And they told me at the headquarters of the group: a pipe with a sickle and a hammer is “carbide”. I look - the gates are opening, a figure in camouflage is waving. We jumped in there. The second point: when we drove into the yard, I drove along the wire from MON-200 - directional mines. But it did not explode - ours set a mine for the first time, the tension was weak. And when we passed there, I already opened the hatch, leaned out. It would have been severely cut - it would not have pierced the armor, but the wheels would have been damaged and the head blown off ... And the third. We drove into the yard of the carbide plant, took the wounded away, but there was no other way out. I realized that the spirits had driven us into a mousetrap and would not let us out just like that. Then I drove the armored personnel carriers to the far corner of the yard in order to disperse them as much as possible, turned the KPVT barrels to the left and ordered them to shoot from the left loopholes. I jumped out, they did not have time to shoot at us from a grenade launcher. A second armored personnel carrier immediately followed us. They fired at him, but because of the high speed of the grenade passed by. At this time, Rusakov looked out from behind the gate, and a grenade hit him ... We learned about his death after arriving at the command post of the regiment. When it got dark, I again went to the positions of the second battalion. We managed to take out the body of Maxim only at night - the militants held the gates of the plant at gunpoint.
Ruined Grozny
I drank a glass that evening, I remembered that my patron was Sergius of Radonezh. I decided that I had chosen my limit: it flew by three times, which means it won’t kill me anymore. But he drew conclusions. And then in such cases I always analyzed and predicted.
- By the way, is “spirits” an Afghan word?
Yes, from Afghanistan, but we used it. "Bandits" - no one said. And the "Czechs" - it's already gone.
- How was life organized? What was the mood like? Were you sick?
At first it was hard - and accommodation, and food, and heating. Then people got used to it. At first, there was lice, and then baths were set up in each unit: in tents, dugouts, wagons ... Morale - at first it was very difficult, I even wonder how the sailors withstood it. After all, I was already 44 years old, I had service experience, physical training, but it was also difficult. And for the sailors... During the battle, everyone cursed terribly - they just talked obscenities during this stressful period. Then they got used to it.
The first time hurt a lot colds. The mud was terrible, it was cold, and they also sent us rubber boots ... We then threw them away. Second - skin diseases. But then they screwed up again. At first I got sick myself, I lay in bed for a day, and then, no matter how much I dangled - my legs were wet, cold, - there was nothing, not even snot.
- Did the locals complain about your fighters?
It was like that, I had to sort it all out. There was a case - after the death of senior lieutenant Skomorokhov, the guys took five drops in the evening, and the Chechens violated the curfew: movement after 18 hours was prohibited, and here a man and a young guy were driving a tractor. The man ran away, and the guy got under a hot hand - ours slapped him. The next day - booze. I understood that the Chechens had also violated, but still it was impossible to touch them ... I went to the elder - this guy's uncle, and asked for forgiveness. He offered to gather the residents, he was ready to publicly apologize, but they told me: no, you asked for forgiveness - in an hour the whole village will know.
- What were the militants armed with besides small arms? How were they with tactical literacy?
I personally once was under fire from an 82-mm mortar - a great car! Another time, I came under fire from the Grad - they poured about half a package somewhere, since there were no dead. There was an anecdote - a sailor-signaller was hiding from the "Grad" in a tent ... Then they forced everyone to dig in.
The militants knew the area well. And then, ours changed, and those remained in place. Those who survived were very well prepared. They had assertiveness, impudence... We couldn't change people like that - they come unfired, not knowing the situation... There was a sad experience with the introduction of the 9th company into battle, which at first remained in Mozdok at the command post of the grouping, performed commandant functions. After that, we made it a rule: an officer comes to replace him - let him first sit, listen, grow into the situation. I know this from my own experience - I couldn’t even “get it” into the map right off the bat. Or the same triplex - you can't see anything through it. Then it's always - the hatch is open, you look. If the situation is very disturbing, you look into the gap between the hatch and the armor. When I went to the first exit - I put on a helmet, a bulletproof vest ... As a result, I could not climb an armored personnel carrier - the sailors pushed me like a medieval knight! It’s somewhere on the block you can sit in a bulletproof vest ... On January 22, I put on a bulletproof vest and a helmet for the first and last time and I don’t regret it. All comes with experience.
War and Peace: “Maskhadov even invited me to visit”
- The military were dissatisfied with the February truce ...
We considered such a decision inappropriate. The initiative was on the side of our troops, and by this time Grozny was completely controlled by us. Peaceful respite was beneficial only to the militants.
During that period, I met a lot with local residents and militants. He was engaged in the collection of weapons in the villages of Belgatoy and Germenchuk, carried out the exchange of prisoners.
- I had to become a diplomat... Later you supported Troshev's negotiations with Maskhadov - how did they go?
Maskhadov's talks with Major General Troshev, commander of our troops in Chechnya, took place on April 28 in Novye Atagi, in the house of a local resident. At first, field commander Isa Madaev and I discussed the details. Already on the day of the negotiations, security was provided. On the other side were Aslan Maskhadov and his assistant Isa Madaev, Deputy Prime Minister of Dudayev's government Lom-Ali (I don't remember his last name), Shamil Basaev's elder brother Shirvani Basaev. Our side was represented by General Troshev, Lieutenant Colonel internal troops Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB captain and me.
Negotiations in Novye Atagi. Center - Isa Madaev, Gennady Troshev, Aslan Maskhadov.Photo from the archive of S.K. Kondratenko
Troshev came in a camouflage cap, and Maskhadov in an astrakhan cap. Troshev asks: “Aslan, why haven’t you switched to a summer uniform yet?” He replies: "And I am like Makhmud Esambaev." There was no firmness in Maskhadov's behavior, he looked unsure of himself - then they were pressed down ... Troshev clearly dominated - he joked, behaved assertively. Maskhadov understood that he was in a losing position, but his own people would not understand him if he accepted our conditions. Therefore, the main goals of the negotiations were not achieved (they wanted us to withdraw our troops, we wanted them to disarm). On the other hand, they agreed on the release of the bodies of the dead, on the exchange of prisoners. Maskhadov even invited me to visit. I told General Babichev, the commander of the Zapad group, about this, and he said: “Don’t even think about it.” Although I am sure that if I went there with Isa Madaev, everything would be fine.
In your notes you call the Khasavyurt peace shameful and tantamount to capitulation. And the second war - could you do without it?
I don't think so. First, we left our prisoners and dead there. Secondly, Chechnya has turned into a real hotbed of banditry. All these former "brigadier generals" carried out raids on the surrounding territories. Dagestan in 1999 was the last straw.
May 5, 1995, Knevichi, return from Chechnya. Left: Governor of Primorye Yevgeny Nazdratenko
As for the first war, I think it could have been avoided. In the same Ingushetia, it was also on the verge, but Ruslan Aushev (President of Ingushetia in 1993-2002 - Ed.) was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and so on. It was possible to agree with Dudayev.
The war itself does not start. And it is not the military who start it, but the politicians. But if a war starts, let the professionals, the military, deal with the war, and not in such a way that they fought, then stop - they kissed, then start again ... The most important thing is that the deaths of people could have been prevented, it was not necessary to bring to such a conflict. The war in Chechnya is the result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. And what is happening now in Ukraine has the same roots.
Marines in the Chechen conflict
Lieutenant General Ivan Skuratov answers questions from Krasnaya Zvezda.
Ivan Sidorovich, a lot has been written and told about the sailors, marines, who had to restore constitutional order in Chechnya. We know that many of them are nominated for awards. Many have already been awarded. In particular, nine Marines - Colonel Alexander Darkovich, Majors Andrei Gushchin and Evgeny Kolesnikov (posthumously), Captains Viktor Shulyak and Dmitry Polkovnikov, Senior Ensign Grigory Zamyshlyak, Senior Lieutenants Viktor Vdovkin and Sergei Firsov (posthumously), Lieutenant Vladimir Borovikov (posthumously) awarded high rank hero Russian Federation. But still, neither the award lists, nor the mean lines of orders will tell the reader what you know about them, "a direct participant in those events, by the way, also recently awarded a nominal weapon. So, first of all, the general would like to say about the Marines -Colonel Ivan Skuratov?
First of all, I categorically disagree with the allegations that "whipping boys" were sent to Chechnya. And I think that most of the officers - marines - participants in the hostilities will support me in this. Being in the very thick of battles, the marines never retreated, did not leave a single line, house, entrance, height.
And this despite the fact that in the course of training the Marine Corps before being sent to Chechnya, we had to face many problems. So, for example, when staffing the battalions of the Northern and Baltic fleets personnel were assembled from more than 50 military units, and the 165th Marine Regiment of the Pacific Fleet was understaffed in a short fore with military personnel from more than 100 coastal ships and units. We were given too little time to prepare them ...
Is this the reason why the Marine Corps suffered considerable losses during the fighting?
For 4 months of hostilities, 100 marines were killed. Bitter, although they say: they say, war is war. It is also important that there are no ridiculous losses. The Marines, I believe, this did not happen.
Meanwhile, we had to act, as they say, in the main directions: to fight on the outskirts of presidential palace, the building of the Council of Ministers, the hotel "Kavkaz", the telegraph ... And everywhere the Marines were distinguished by courage, heroism. And regardless of ranks and positions. And frankly, I am outraged by publications in some media. mass media about alleged cases of drunkenness among Marine Corps officers. Say, the officers drank, the sailors fought for them. All this is not true. Here are just a few strokes to the portrait of a young officer-commander of an airborne assault company separate brigade Marine Corps of the Northern Fleet Captain Viktor Shulyak, who was awarded the title of Hero of Russia by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of April 17. On the move, having entered the battle on the outskirts of the building of the Council of Ministers in Grozny, the company of Captain Shulyak met fierce resistance from superior enemy forces. However, the Marines made their way into the building, where they also had to fight for every room. And everywhere the company commander was an example for his subordinates - in hand-to-hand combat, personally destroying several militants, in a fire duel, suppressing 3 machine-gun crews. Twice wounded, bleeding, he continued to lead the battle. How, in your opinion, are drunkards capable of such things as they sometimes try to present us?
I am not talking about this in order to maintain the honor of the uniform, although it is, of course, dear to me. It hurts for people who are undeservedly offended by other zealous "chroniclers" of this war. Officers highly value such a thing as the honor of a marine. And I would not want their own media to try to cast a shadow on one of those who carry it high.
Three marines from the Pacific Fleet had to learn what captivity was. One of them, a midshipman, died. Another soldier, a sailor, was handed over to us by local residents of one of the Chechen villages two months later. in captivity. We have repeatedly tried to exchange him for captured Dudayevites, but so far to no avail. According to reports, he is alive, and we will do everything in our power to rescue him from captivity.
There were a lot of unflattering words in the press not only about Russian servicemen, but also about our weapons...
Here, too, one cannot be categorical. As the war showed, we really need to give up some types of weapons. So, for example, the battalion commander's combat vehicle was created on the basis of the BTR-60. Obsolete, running on gasoline, with two engines. This machine is not able to keep up with our own BTR-80, it lags behind on the march and holds the column. There are many complaints from the marines, as, indeed, from representatives ground forces, to means of communication. We need small-sized, light, closed devices so that the enemy cannot enter our networks and devices. And it is necessary to provide them with military personnel up to and including the commander of the department.
Not quite, in my opinion, the equipment of the Marines is thought out. Only one body armor, for example, weighs about 13 kilograms. But, besides him, each soldier carries ammunition, food, weapons. With such a "baggage" and developers for a forced march ... The helmet is a sample of the forties. So there is something for experts to think about.
But in general, our technique has shown itself from the best side.
All sorts of "human rights activists" today literally revel in the "facts" of punitive actions of troops in Chechnya, looting by military personnel. Your subordinates quite often were the first to enter settlements. And what, did they really behave like occupiers?
I am not aware of any complaints from the local population against the Marines. I myself have repeatedly met with civilians in Chechnya, talked with them and always heard only warm, kind words addressed to my subordinates. The Chechens talked about their far from sweet life under Dudayev, thanked for the assistance provided - the marines shared food, medicine with them, and distributed warm clothes. I have no information about cases of looting by the marines.
During the battles for Grozny, in other ° "erasions, the marines had to solve, let's say, tasks that were not quite characteristic of them ...
And for which of the military, whose mission is to defend the Fatherland from an external enemy, participation in this war was natural? We all acted in the conditions when the army performed new functions dictated by new realities, a threat to the integrity of the state. Indeed, the main purpose of the marines is amphibious assault. At the same time, it is the Marines who provide land defense for their own naval bases. So from the point of view of combat training of special surprises, participation in the resolution Chechen conflict did not bring us. After all, the organization of antiamphibious defense requires the ability to conduct combat both in urban areas and in the area of \u200b\u200bberths, piers, port facilities ...
Moreover, in Grozny, the marines had to act as assault groups and detachments, which successively took possession of buildings and quarters, sometimes having no neighbors on the right and left, or even completely isolated. Such actions are somewhat identical to the assault actions of the amphibious assault to seize the coast, port, without neighbors, and sometimes without the support of regular military equipment and artillery, which may not be landed on the coast for some reason.
That is, I want to say that, in principle, militarily, the marines are ready to solve such tasks as they had to solve in Chechnya, to conduct fighting in the town. Another thing is that due to the understaffing of the units, as mentioned above, we had some problems with combat coordination, command and control of prefabricated formations.
And how did the psychological adaptation of the marines in combat conditions go? They came to war as boys, and they leave...
In war, human psychology is completely changed. Everyone who has been there, I beg your pardon for the high-flown words, begins to appreciate his life. I asked the sailors and sergeants that they would recommend to those who would come to replace them. They answered me: "This war requires excellent physical training and the ability to shoot quickly and accurately." Of course, the list of qualities necessary for a soldier in a combat situation, especially as controversial as it was in Chechnya, should be wider. By the way, many of these qualities - courage, nobility, mutual assistance, etc. - were clearly manifested in the actions of soldiers and officers. And yet the essence, it seems to me, is captured correctly. Perhaps, only in war do you understand the relevance of the hackneyed postulate that you need to learn military science in a real way.
Comrade Colonel General, some units of the marines are still in Chechnya. Are there plans to send new units there?
At the end of March, the air assault battalions of the Northern and Baltic fleets were withdrawn from Chechnya. Currently, there continues to be a regiment of marines of the Pacific Fleet. By the way, it was this regiment that at the first stage of hostilities successfully held two bridgeheads on the left bank of the Sunzha River, preventing the militants from breaking through from the right bank of Grozny. The regiment has recently received reinforcements.
As for sending new units there... I hope, and God forbid that this is the case, that this will not be required.
Ivan Sidorovich, you are not only a military leader, but also a military scientist. The question, perhaps, will not sound quite tactful for the layman, but nevertheless: how did the war enrich your knowledge?
Life has once again confirmed that the Marine Corps is a special, unified branch of service not only Navy but also the Russian Armed Forces. And the attitude towards it on the part of all relevant structures should be careful. Units and formations of the Marine Corps must be deployed on a full scale and fully combat-ready even in peacetime. Then there will be no need to urgently, in a hurry, complete the marines with untrained servicemen, removing them from ships and providing coastal units, as was the case at the beginning of the Chechen events.
This experience, alas, is not new, but after the Great Patriotic War forgot about him. I hope that upon completion of the operation in Chechnya with respect to the marines, these conclusions will be put into practice.
Since you have already touched on this, I see, a painful question for you, then let's tell frankly what this, as you put it, special, unified branch of the armed forces is today.
The Marine Corps, as a branch of service, is a component of each of our four fleets. The Pacific Fleet has a marine division, and the Northern, Baltic and Black Sea Fleet- one brigade. With the current size of the Marine Corps, its formations are mainly engaged in protecting themselves. And those who get into the Marines do not always shine with intelligence and excellent health. Combat training is reduced to a minimum. Catastrophic under-funding leads to delays in the repair and construction of landing craft.
In such a situation, of course, it is very difficult to serve. The main burden is placed on the officers, and in the first place on the commanders of companies and platoons. After all, they have to work 14 hours a day, all the combat training of the marines rests on them.
In general, even the marines have a lot of problems, and they need to be solved as soon as possible.

Despite the fact that we were oriented towards a possible transfer to Chechnya, in the depths of our hearts, many hoped that this would not happen. The Kola Peninsula is very far from the place of the alleged release. In addition, in the Northern Fleet, including at the Sputnik base, they were firmly convinced that it was incorrect to use the Marine Corps in a non-maritime direction. However, everything turned out differently.
On January 7, on the day of the Nativity of Christ, when we were already sitting at the festive tables, we were alarmed. The command explained the task. Then time went on for hours and minutes. Having given orders personnel, I rushed home to collect things. To reassure his wife, he threw an English tutorial into his bag. Cats scratched my heart.
Flight to Mozdok, transfer to Severny airport on January 13, 1995 (an obvious non-docking according to botter on January 10, the PDR was already fighting, see - 3 dshr and pdr 876 odshb, 276 msp and 173 ooSpN on Mira street - Keren avenue) , and now the Marine Corps of the Northern Fleet entered Grozny. The consolidated battalion of the MP SF, which arrived in Chechnya, did not have a full-time reconnaissance unit, and my paratrooper company, as one of the trained ones, began to perform its functions. This meant being on the front line, sometimes on the line controlled by the militants. From the very first days, we had to part with our "branded" insignia - black berets with "crabs". It was on them that the snipers of the militants hit, for whom we became the primary target, they distinguished us from other units of the federal troops.
The company received 5 VSS Vintorez rifles equipped with night sights, and one had a laser one. For conducting night reconnaissance, several BN-2 binoculars were issued. We practically did not use the SBR-3 short-range reconnaissance station, since it turned out to be helpless in urban conditions.
According to the command plan, our separate airborne assault battalion of a separate brigade of the Marine Corps of the Northern Fleet (61st OBRMP SF) after crossing the Sunzha River was supposed to enter the southern quarters of Grozny. By indirect signs, it became clear the direction of the main blow - Minutka Square. As intelligence reported, it was a fairly powerful fortified area: in addition to dug trenches, mined passages, each house was a firing point - a pillbox.
Having reached the planned area of concentration, to the shoe factory, we set up an observation post (OP) and organized round-the-clock surveillance of the area and the surrounding quarters. Part of a residential area, mostly private sector, have not yet taken control of the federal troops, and militant detachments could approach from there at any moment. As a rule, seeping through gardens and kitchen gardens, the spirits accumulated in destroyed houses, from where they fired at our positions at night.
One day, when I arrived at the location of the NP, I saw the corpse of a motorized rifle soldier from a company that was in the same building as the post. As the fighters explained, at night he got out of the building onto the road separating us from the enemy and fired from a grenade launcher. It is difficult to understand in the darkness - the soldiers from his own company mistook the guy for a spirit and opened fire on him.
