Twenty years ago, the first Chechen war began. She left an indelible mark on the people's memory. There were heroes in this war, there was a lot of betrayal and meanness. Many did not understand its causes, did not think that this could happen. But it happened, a cruel, merciless meat grinder. Today's events in Donetsk and Lugansk confirm that we need to keep our gunpowder dry.
About the first Chechen war, its heroes and enemies of Russia, Alexander Korshunov, a participant in the hostilities in the North Caucasus, tells in his book.
Born in 1954. Reserve Lieutenant Colonel. Graduated from the Saratov Higher Military Command Red Banner School internal troops named after F. E. Dzerzhinsky of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. He served in the internal troops from 1972 to 2004. Participated in the elimination of the Ossetian-Ingush conflict, fought in the Chechen Republic in 1994-96 and in 2000-2003. He was awarded the Order "For Military Merit" and the Medal "For Courage".
Lives in the city of Ramenskoye.
This is not a memoir. Before them, I did not grow up with either a position or a title. They are written, as a rule, by generals and marshals. They presuppose an exact presentation, detailed analysis events and facts. Here the accuracy is very approximate, I simply do not remember many dates. Once, recalling my service in the army, I suddenly discovered that I began to forget the names and surnames of the people with whom I served and fought together. A thick notebook accidentally caught my eye, and I decided to write down my memories in it, not at all pretending to be "artistic". As a nomad rides a horse across the steppe and sings about what he sees around, so did I - what I remembered, I wrote down, without compositions. So, in general, this book came out spontaneously.
I guess I have the right to call myself a hereditary officer. Yet the "servant" in the third generation, starting with his grandfather. I don’t know about great-grandfathers, if they served the tsar-father, then only as soldiers. The estate is not. Our family is a peasant from the Tver province - what kind of golden shoulder straps are there. Only when Soviet power my grandfather Dmitry Ivanovich Korshunov, a farm laborer, a village Komsomol member Mitka Verin (that was his name in the village after his mother) was drafted into the Red Army in 1927. There he joined the party, stayed on long-term service, then graduated from the courses of political instructors and received two head over heels in his buttonholes. Of his six brothers, two were also red commanders. Well, starting with the Finnish, and then the Great Patriotic War Everyone went to the front. In memory of one of them, commander Alexander Ivanovich Korshunov, who died in 1941 near Smolensk, I was named Alexander.
Grandfather met the war in Western Ukraine near the city of Rivne as a senior political instructor, commissar of the 2nd battalion of the 777th rifle regiment 227 rifle division. He went out with battles from the encirclement in the Kiev cauldron together with Bagramyan. In the forty-second, near Kharkov, he was seriously wounded. Then he fought on the Leningrad front. He ended the war in the Baltic States, near Riga, as a lieutenant colonel, deputy commander of the 62nd Guards Gnezno Red Banner Order of the Suvorov Mechanized Regiment. He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of War, two Orders of the Red Star and many medals. By the way, the 62nd Mechanized Regiment after the war was transformed into the 245th Guards known in Chechnya motorized rifle regiment, with whom we fought side by side more than once.
My father, Viktor Dmitrievich Korshunov, at the age of thirteen became a Red Army soldier in the commandant's platoon in besieged Leningrad. Of course, it was the grandfather who saved his son from starvation, but not from a bullet. The boy, along with adult fighters, carried out a difficult patrol service, went to combat operations. And there was only one discount for age - a piece of sugar instead of shag. After the war, he graduated from the anti-aircraft artillery school in Zhitomir, became a rocket officer. He served in the air defense forces of the country for more than 25 years, in the Ural taiga, at missile sites. He retired from the army with the rank of major.
Uncle - Sergei Vasilievich, officer of the internal troops, "NKVD". In the forty-second, accelerated graduation from the Saratov School and to Stalingrad. Then he went with battles to Western Ukraine, where he fought with Bandera until the forty-eighth year. Lieutenant Colonel, Chief of Staff of the Missile Troops strategic purpose He served in the army for 27 years.
If we add my 32 years of service to their service, then only four of us served Russia for almost 110 years, although we did not rise to high ranks.
However, as a boy, I had no intention of following in their footsteps into the army. My youthful dreams were turned to the profession of a long-distance sailor, because I grew up in sunny Feodosia on the Black Sea coast. After graduating from school, I went to enter the Kherson seafarer. Pants are full of romance, “wet my vest - I can’t live without the sea.” But at the commission I was assigned to the radio engineering faculty, but I wanted to study navigation. In general, the sailor did not work out of me.
Then the grandfather, father and uncle took the unreasonable child into circulation and directed him on the true path in accordance with family tradition. So I became a cadet of the Saratov Higher Military command school internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, the same one that Uncle Sergei graduated in 42.
After graduation, he ended up serving in the Siberian taiga in the Angara region:
- "Where the river, the river Biryusa, breaking the ice, makes noise, sings in voices ...".
I served in those parts for fourteen years, instead of ten, and then they nevertheless transferred me to warmer regions, to the North Caucasus in the city of Nalchik, or rather, to a tiny mountain village, not far from Nalchik. In Siberia, these places were considered a resort, but by that time, with the collapse of the Union, warm resorts quickly turned into “hot spots” - this is how the places of armed conflicts began to be called. Global political warming in the country caused overheating in the heads local princes and princelings of every caliber, and the Caucasus blazed in a feverish division of power. Tbilisi, Baku, Sumgait, Stepanakert, then Abkhazia, Ossetia with Ingushetia, and Chechnya.
Nalchik was not bypassed either. In 1991, a certain Congress of Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus"arranged a rally on the square in front of the government house of Kabardino-Balkaria, which quickly turned into riots, and even with shooting. The local police fled, but they somehow feel uncomfortable - all of a sudden you inadvertently hit a relative with a club on the ridge. And only the internal troops, who arrived to reinforce, held back the crowd and did not allow the building to be captured. But in the hands of the attackers were not only sticks and iron fittings, but also trunks.
National hero Kabardy then became a police lieutenant Shkhagoshev. Neutralizing a criminal armed with a grenade, he lost his hands. The whole republic collected money for him for artificial limbs. But about the fact that fourteen soldiers from the Dzerzhinsky VV division were in the republican hospital with severe injuries and wounds, the press, as always, modestly kept silent.
In such a warm climate, in October 1992, our eighth operational brigade (abbreviated as 8 BRON) was created, in the formation and development of which I participated from the first days and served until it was disbanded.
By the standards of the internal troops, it was created as a very weighty fist to counter extremism and armed terrorism in the region. The brigade was stationed on the basis of the disbanded part of the strategic missile forces in the former closed garrison Nalchik-20.
I will not give out military secrets if I list the staff of the brigade in those years. It includes: a battalion on airborne combat vehicles, two battalions on BTR-80, a tank battalion (PT-76), an anti-aircraft artillery battalion (ZU-23-2, SPG-9, 82-mm mortars), special police and rifle battalions, repair battalion. Later, a separate reinforced battalion of the 101st Grozny brigade was included in the brigade, which, in terms of numbers and firepower, was equal to two of our linear battalions.
Yes, plus separate companies: special forces, reconnaissance, snipers, sappers, commandant service, communications, autorot, chemical protection platoons and mine detection dogs. And logistics units. One "armor" for two hundred units, and even "wheels" a full fleet. All in all, a lot of power. When all this is lined up in a marching column, it is already breathtaking.
I remember our first brigade commander with great respect. Colonel Andreevsky Protogen Protogenovich (later General). They say about such people in the troops - the commander is from God. In a matter of months, he created not just a military unit, but a Brigade with capital letter. Two or three months later, the soldiers said:
- Eighth ARMOR - sounds proud and strong, like armor.
Yes, and the word "soldier" was almost never used, more often it sounded like "fighter" - somehow closer in spirit, in general mood. But just yesterday, on the parade ground, there was a "rabble army" with maroon, scarlet, black, blue shoulder straps and emblems of almost all military branches.
The basis, of course, was the "Veveshniks" - Nalchan, Angarsk, Khabarovsk. And the replenishment was sent to us "selected" - from the disbanded parts of the Ministry of Defense. There are mahr infantry and landing troops, aviation and artillery, tankers, signalmen, motorists. There is perhaps no construction battalion with a railroad.
Selection, of course, according to the principle - "God, what is worthless to me", the shots are still the same. The "Red Army" simply shoved, taking advantage of the opportunity, their slobs into the explosives. While they were being transported in trains from the Leningrad and Moscow districts, about forty people simply ran away along the road. At that time, desertion was common, even fashionable. However, it is unlikely that the brigade lost its best fighters.
Those who remained were disappointed in some way. The guys thought that the same barracks routine and window dressing would begin in the new place. Again, endless washing of floors and sweeping paths, making "square" snowdrifts and digging ditches "from the pillar to the evening." But, it started, as expected, with a bath, and then they changed everyone into a new uniform, but not into the usual one. Camouflage, vest, berets, berets! Then it was cool. Shabby overcoats, and cotton washed to whiteness, were put on a substitute, and even on rags. Soldiers being transferred to a foreign department were dressed up in decommissioned cast-offs by the army fathers-commanders. The army, having changed into new clothes, and after a bath with a steam room, immediately cheered up, cheered up.

Internal troops - 186.3 thousand people. (16 divisions, 24 brigades, 104 regiments and 5 higher educational institutions)
By 2006 five regional commands and two regional directorates of troops will be created instead of districts. 60% of the number of troops are operational units performing tasks in Chechnya and the North Caucasus region.
Operational units
Parts for the protection of important state facilities
Special motorized police units
In accordance with the reform plan, the number of troops will be reduced several times, five regional commands and two regional departments of internal troops will be created instead of districts. In addition, forces will be formed in the structure of internal troops special purpose. In the future, special forces detachments of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation will become the main component of the immediate reaction forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Now the special forces of the explosives are 16 mobile detachments, which are already 90 percent equipped with modern weapons and military equipment, including special purpose
The combat training of explosives includes three main areas: training of operational units; special motorized military units; units for the protection of important state facilities and special cargo. Internal troops are involved in the performance of service and combat missions, usually as part of a company or battalion. Therefore, the main efforts in training are aimed at single training and coordination of small units. The explosives refused to hold such global events as divisional and even regimental tactical exercises, they are not relevant in the Internal Troops now. The combined arms training of a motorized rifle platoon commander and a platoon commander of the Internal Troops is practically the same. In military training, perhaps, the only difference is that in addition to combined-arms tactics, cadets study the tactics of the Internal Troops, that is, the methods of action of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to protect public order, the organization of the security forces to protect important state facilities and in emergency situations.
The internal troops number about 300 thousand people (29 divisions and 15 brigades). The units are better equipped than the army. But can they be called full-blooded? Of the 29 divisions, 19 were transferred to the internal troops from the ground forces, with all the ensuing consequences. Apparently, it was possible to restore some semblance of order in them, but providing such a mass of troops with new weapons and equipment is a disastrous business. Most of the senior officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not have the necessary training.

1) the specifics of the internal troops is that the divisions of the explosives can have a unique composition and be deployed on the territory of several territories and regions, for example, it can include not only regiments, but also brigades and separate battalions, and separate brigades and regiments can include separate battalions and companies (for example, a separate company for escorting special cargoes taken out from it)
2) the units for the protection of the OVO and the SG are not part of the districts, but are part of the Directorate of the VGO and SG of the GKVV, and, for example, in Angarsk there are operational and training regiments of the Irkutsk formation of the Eastern District (headquarters in Khabarovsk), and the Angarsk industrial regiment is subordinate and included to the Novosibirsk Industrial Division of VV
3) the term industrial in relation to parts has not been official for a long time (since Beriev's times) BUT (!) Due to the conservatism and closeness of the environment, it is still in circulation among personnel, their environment (families, journalists) and in the facilities/territories where they operate. Approximately the same until now in the province of RUBOPs (RUOPs) are still called the 6th department
